Summary

This study looked at how a high-fat meal changes the amount of the experimental drug etavopivat in the blood of 16 healthy adults. Each person took a single dose of the drug after eating a fatty meal and on an empty stomach on different days. The goal was to see if food affects how the body absorbs the drug, which helps guide future dosing for sickle cell disease and thalassemia.
