A randomized, double-blind, multiple-dose, placebo-controlled, dose escalation study with a 3-cohort parallel group design to investigate the tolerability and pharmacokinetics of albaconazole in healthy subjects. Albaconazole is a triazole antifungal agent discovered at Palau Pharma SA (Barcelona, Spain) and currently being developed for the treatment of fungal infections of the nails . This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 1 study evaluated the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and effects on electrocardiogram parameters of albaconazole administered orally at escalating supratherapeutic doses. Healthy subjects received 400 mg albaconazole every 24, 12, or 8 hours for 5 days. Albaconazole was absorbed rapidly (2.5-22.5 hours) after oral administration, reaching
