Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

APPA-1

APPA is an acronym for the combination of apocynin (AP) and its isomer, paeonol (PA). It is an orally administered synthetic combination of two compounds: * 4'-hydroxy-3'-methoxy-acteophenone (apocynin\[acetovanillone\]); * 2'-hydroxy -4'-methoxy acetophenone (paeonol). The intention is that the two actives will be available as a fixed combination product. The proposed ratio is 7:2 (paeonol:apocynin).

DRUG

Placebo Oral Tablet

Identical to IMP apart from active substance.
