Clinical Trial Summary

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase I study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and PK profiles of orally administered VG290131 in healthy subjects. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. The safety and tolerability of VG290131 when administered orally as a single dose and multiple doses in healthy subjects. 2. The pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles of VG290131 and the food effect on the PK profiles of VG290131 in healthy subjects. Approximately 86 subjects will be enrolled in the study.

• Active hepatitis C virus (HCV): defined as HCV antibody (HCV-Ab) positive and HCV-ribonucleic acid (RNA) positive, if HCV-Ab positive and HCV RNA negative can be considered as eligible at the discretion of the Investigator;

14. Has donated blood or plasma within 30 days prior to screening or had a loss of whole blood of more than 500 mL within the 30 days prior to screening, or receipt of a blood transfusion within one year prior to screening;

15. The subject has difficulty in swallowing oral medications;

16. Inability to be venipunctured and/or tolerate venous access; Any conditions which would make the subject unsuitable for enrollment or could interfere with the subject's participation in or completion of the study in the opinion of the investigator.
