Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to exlplore the profile of NS-136 in health conditions. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is NS-136 safe and tolerable in heathy subjects under tested dosing regimen? - What is the pharmacokinectic profile of NS-136 in healthy subjects under tested dosing regimen?

5. Excessive alcohol consumption or weekly alcohol intake exceeding 14 units of alcohol in the 4 weeks prior to screening (1 unit equals 10 grams of pure alcohol, alcohol content of different alcoholic beverages is indicated by volume ratio, approximately 1 alcohol unit is equal to 35 mL of 50° liquor or 350 mL of 5° beer), or unwillingness to stop drinking alcohol or consuming any products containing alcohol during the trial, or positive alcohol test upon screening and admission (repeated test is allowed once at investigator's discretion);

6. Excessive intake of tea, coffee, or caffeinated beverages (more than 8 cups/day, 1 cup = 250 mL) in the 3 months prior to screening, or inability to stop consuming any beverages or foods containing caffeine, any beverages or foods rich in purines, or grapefruit and other substances that may affect drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion during the trial;

7. History of drug abuse within the past year prior to the first dose, or positive results in a multi-drug urine screening test upon screening period and admission. Repeated test is allowed once at investigator discretion;

8.

9. Underwent major surgery within the past 6 months prior to the first dose (such as coronary artery bypass grafting, hepatectomy, gynecological surgery, etc.); occurrence of acute neurological, digestive, respiratory, circulatory, endocrine, hematological, or other systemic diseases that may affect the absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and safety evaluation of the investigational product within 3 months prior to screening judged by investigator;

10. Donated blood or experienced blood loss =400 mL within the 3 months prior to the first dose; difficulties in venous blood collection; planned blood donation during the study or within 1 month after the study;

11. Use of strong inhibitors or inducers of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 within 14 days prior to the administration of the investigational drug or anticipated use of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers during the study participation period;

12. Use of any prescription or non-prescription medications, including herbal and OTC medications within 14 days of dosing, with the exception of paracetamol (=2 g per day);
