A Phase 1, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Randomized, Two-Part, Ascending Dose-escalation Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Rejuveinix (RJX) in Healthy Participants

Designed as a single center, two-part, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study to
assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of RJX in
healthy participants.

Part 1 is designed as a Single Ascending Dose (SAD) escalation study with 6 cohorts.
Participants will undertake a screening visit between Day -21 and Day -1 to determine
eligibility in the study. Those participants that meet the eligibility criteria will be
admitted to the study site on the day prior to dosing (Day -1). Participants will receive a
single dose of investigational product via IV infusion on Day 1. The first cohort will
include the initial dosing of a sentinel group. The remaining participants in Cohort 1 will
be dosed if, in the opinion of the investigator or delegate, there are no significant safety
concerns identified in the sentinel participants within the first 24 hours after
administration of the dose. Participants will be confined to the study site from Day -1 to
Day 2 (24 hours post dose) and then required to return to the study site on Day 5 for a final
follow up visit. Safety and PK assessments will be performed at selected time points
throughout the study.

Part 2 is designed as a Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) escalation study with 3 cohorts. The
MAD arm of the study will commence in parallel with Cohort 6 of Part 1 following completion
and review of safety and PK findings for Cohorts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 in Part 1. Participants
will undertake a screening visit between Day -21 and Day -1 to determine eligibility in the
study. Those participants that meet the eligibility criteria will be admitted to the study
site on the day prior to dosing (Day -1). Participants will be randomly assigned to receive 1
of 3 proposed doses of investigational product via IV infusion every day for 7
days.Participants will be confined to the study site from Day -1 to Day 8 (24 hours post the
final dose on Day 7) and then return to the study site on Day 12 for a final follow up visit.
Safety and PK assessments will be performed at selected time points throughout the study.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Healthy male and female participants aged 18 to 50 years inclusive (Cohort 1 to Cohort
5) or 51 to 70 years inclusive (Cohort 6 only),at the time of screening;

2. Have a body mass index of 18 kg/m2 to 35 kg/m2, inclusive, at screening. In addition,

hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, tubal ligation or bilateral oophorectomy)
or postmenopausal (no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause.
A high follicle stimulating hormone [FSH] level in the postmenopausal range may
be used to confirm a postmenopausal state in women not using hormonal
contraception or hormonal replacement therapy; however, in the absence of 12
months of amenorrhea, a single FSH measurement is insufficient);

2. Of childbearing potential and agrees to use 2 highly effective methods of
contraception consistently during the treatment period and for at least 60 days
after the last dose of investigational product;

6. A male participant with a female partner of childbearing potential is eligible to
participate if he agrees to use acceptable contraception during the treatment period
and for at least 60 days after the last dose of investigational product and refrains
from donating sperm during this period;

7. Clinical laboratory test results within normal reference range for the population or
investigator site, or any results that are judged to be not clinically significant by
the investigator;

8. Venous access sufficient to allow for blood sampling per the protocol;

hepatic, renal, gastrointestinal, endocrine (diabetes), hematological, or neurological
disorders. Cohort 6 only - elderly participants with well controlled
hypercholesterolemia on a stable dose of statin therapy or well controlled

prolongation of QTcF >440 ms in males and >450 ms in females;

5. Have a supine systolic blood pressure (BP) greater than 140 mm Hg or a diastolic BP
greater than 90 mm Hg. Up to 2 additional measurements may be undertaken after an
appropriate resting interval at screening to confirm eligibility;

6. Are currently enrolled in a clinical trial involving an investigational product, or
