| Phase 1/Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
This is a Phase 1/ 2 study that will examine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of single and multiple dose levels of BMF-219, an orally bioavailable selective covalent inhibitor of menin, in healthy subjects and in subjects with T2DM. This study will assess the effect of BMF-219 as single ascending dose (SAD) and multiple ascending dose (MAD).
