Clinical Trial Summary

This study is seeking healthy participants who are: 1. Aged 18 to 65 years of age. All fertile participants must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception. 2. Male and female participants who are overtly healthy as determined by medical evaluation. This includes medical history, physical examination, blood pressure, pulse rate, standard 12-lead ECG (electrocardiogram), and laboratory tests. 3. BMI (body mass index) of 17.5 to 35 kg/m2; and a total body weight >50 kg (110 lb). This study will consist of up to 2 cohorts (groups of participants).: Cohort 1 is a randomized, 2-part, crossover cohort. Part 1 has 3 periods. Periods 1 and 2 are to evaluate the safety and effects of sisunatovir. Participants will take sisunatovir tablets or placebo by mouth once every 12 hours. A placebo looks like the study medicine but does not contain any active medicine in it. Period 3 is an open label period to evaluate the food effect of the planned higher dose of sisunatovir. Participants will take the planned higher dose sisunatovir tablets every 12 hours. In Part 2, participants will take sisunatovir prepared in 4 different vehicles (water, infant formula, apple juice, and saline) to assess how palatable each form is. Participants will complete a questionnaire after tasting each form of sisunatovir. The palatability questionnaire will be completed for each vehicle, the questionnaire asks participants to assess each vehicle at 4 different time increments after tasting. At least 60 minutes will pass between tasting each vehicle. Period 4 may start after the last PK draw of Period 3. A minimum 7-day washout period will occur between the last dose of Periods 1 and 2 and the first dose of Periods 2 and 3. We will assess the safety of participants following each study period and doses and adjust the doses for subsequent study periods as needed. Cohort 2 is an optional cohort; the design of Cohort 2 is the same as Part 1 of Cohort 1. Dose levels studied in Cohort 2 will be determined after the completion of Cohort 1. Participants will take part in this study for approximately 2 months, excluding the screening period. During this time there are 3 separate 7-day in-patient stays at the study clinic and a follow-up phone call that takes place 28-35 days after the last dose of study medicine.

4. A positive urine drug test, confirmed by a repeat test, if deemed necessary.

5. Screening supine blood pressure (BP) =140 mm Hg (systolic) or =90 mm Hg (diastolic), following at least 5 minutes of supine rest. If BP is =140 mm Hg (systolic) or =90 mm Hg (diastolic), the BP should be repeated 2 more times and the average of the 3 BP values should be used to determine the participant's eligibility.

6. Standard 12 lead ECG that demonstrates clinically relevant abnormalities that may affect participant safety or interpretation of study results.

7. Participants with ANY of the following abnormalities in clinical laboratory tests at screening, as assessed by the study specific laboratory and confirmed by a single

repeat test, if deemed necessary:

• glomerular filtration rate (GFR) <60 mL/min/1.73m2 based on the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation;
• Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) or Alanine Transaminase (ALT) level =1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN);
• Gamma-glutamyl transferase (Gamma-GT)> ULN;
• Alkaline phosphatase > ULN;
• Total bilirubin level =1.5 × ULN; participants with a history of Gilbert's syndrome may have direct bilirubin measured and would be eligible for this study provided the direct bilirubin level is = ULN.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Treatment-Related Adverse Events (AEs)	Treatment-related AE was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to study drug in a participant who received study drug. Serious adverse event (SAE) was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent are events between first dose of study drug and up to Y days after last dose that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state. Relatedness to Drug X was assessed by the investigator (Yes/No). Participants with multiple occurrences of an AE within a category were counted once within the category.	Baseline (Day 0) up to 35 days after last dose of study medication
Primary	Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Change From Baseline in Laboratory Abnormalities	Laboratory parameters included: hematology (hemoglobin, hematocrit, red blood cell, platelet and white blood cell count, neutrophils, eosinophils, monocytes, basophils and lymphocytes), chemistry (blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, sodium, potassium, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, total bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, albumin, total protein and serum pregnancy test [for all female participants]) and urine (urine pregnancy test [for all female participants]). Clinical significance of laboratory parameters was determined at the investigator's discretion.	Baseline up to Day 7
Primary	Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Change From Baseline in Vital Signs	Vital signs (temperature, respiratory rate, pulse, systolic and diastolic blood pressure) were obtained with participant in the seated position, after having sat calmly for at least 5 minutes.
