What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?

Interventions

• VX-973

Trial Overview The study tests VX-973 against a placebo in healthy participants to see how safe it is and how bodies react to different doses both one-time and over multiple doses. It looks at what the body does to the drug (pharmacokinetics) and what the drug does to the body (pharmacodynamics).

How Is the Trial Designed?

Group I: Part B: Multiple Ascending Dose Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

Participants will be randomized to receive multiple doses of VX-973 under fasted conditions.

Group II: Part A: Single Ascending Dose Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

Participants will be randomized to receive a single dose of VX-973 under fasted conditions.

Group III: Placebo Part A Placebo Group 1 Intervention

Participants will be randomized to receive placebo matched to VX-973.

Group IV: Placebo Part B Placebo Group 1 Intervention

Participants will be randomized to receive placebo matched to VX-973.
