Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - NVG-291
Other interventions - Placebo

Experimental: NVG-291 SAD - Doses will begin at the lowest dose level in Cohort 1, increasing in dose with each subsequent cohort to the highest dose level in Cohort 6 or until a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is reached.

Experimental: NVG-291 MAD - Participants will receive 1 dose daily for for 14 consecutive days. The maximum starting dose for MAD will be 2 dose levels lower than the maximum dose achieved during SAD. There will be a maximum of 3 dosing cohorts in Part 2. The maximum daily dose in Part 2 will not exceed the maximum daily dose tolerated in Part 1.

Experimental: NVG-291 MAD - Males and Premenopausal Females - Participants will receive 1 dose daily for for 14 consecutive days. The dose maximum daily dose in Part 3 will not exceed the maximum daily dose tolerated in either Part 1 or 2.

in healthy female participants. The trial is split into three parts, starting with Part 1
(SAD), then Part 2 (MAD - post-menopausal Females), and finally Part 3 (MAD - males and
premenopausal females). In Part 1 (SAD), participants receive 1 dose on 1 day only and in
