>1.5x ULN) at screening or baseline.

4. The subject has had a cholecystectomy or a history of cholecystitis.

5. The subject has clinically significant 12-lead ECG abnormalities, including QTc of
450ms for males and 470ms for females (average of triplicate measures) for any
pre-randomization ECG assessment.

6. The subject has a current or relevant history of physical or psychiatric illness.

7. The subject has a documented history of HIV antibody or tested positive for hepatitis

Summary
Brief summary
This is a phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, SAD and MAD study in healthy
adult volunteers. DGX-001 is a peptide being investigated for the treatment of the major
depressive disorder. This study will examine the safety and tolerability of increasing doses
of DGX-001 and, in an exploratory way, potential moderators and functional markers of its
activity.
