A Dose-Escalation Study to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of Single Doses of Q203 in Normal, Healthy, Male and Female Volunteers

Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation study in healthy male and
female volunteers. Subjects will be randomly assigned to 1 of 7 treatment cohorts (Cohorts 1
- 7) of 8 subjects each, to receive either Q203 or placebo in a fasting state. Every attempt
will be made to include at least 2 females in each cohort, at least one of whom will be
assigned to receive Q203.

Dose escalation to the next cohort may be considered when at least 6 out of 8 subjects, in a
cohort, completes all procedures and none of the subjects has a clinically significant
adverse event (AE) that is being followed, or at the discretion of the PI if no drug-related
SAEs have occurred. A food effect cohort will be enrolled to test administration of Q203 in
a fed state, at 100 mg dose level (this dose level may change based on PK analysis results).
Subjects who received 100mg dose in a fasting state will return and receive the second dose,
with food. In this cohort, all eight subjects will proceed to receive either Q203 or placebo
in a six to two ratio (six active treatment : 2 placebo). Every attempt will be made to
include at least 2 females in this cohort, at least one of whom will be assigned to receive
Q203.

Subjects will be followed up for AEs, SAE or pregnancy for 30 days postdrug administration.

minute (bpm).

8. History of seizures.

9. History of drug (including amphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cocaine,
opiates, phencyclidines, and cannabinoids) or alcohol abuse or addiction within the
past 2 years or, if male, consumes more than 28 units of alcohol per week or, if

10. Any history of abnormal pulmonary function (e.g., asthma or related respiratory
illnesses).

the PI or his designee.
