QGC001/1QG1 is a Phase I "first time in man" study aiming to determine the overall safety and tolerability of single ascending oral doses of QGC001 in healthy male subjects compared to placebo, as well as the pharmacokinetics of QGC001 and its metabolite EC33 and the pharmacodynamic properties of QGC001 (effects on the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, blood pressure and heart rate) in healthy male subjects.
