Inclusion criteria

  1. Age ≥18 to ≤ 50 years
  2. (BMI) ≥18.0 to ≤ 30.0 kg/m2
  3. Current non-user of any nicotine containing products (>6 months)
  4. Females must be non-pregnant and non-lactating, and either surgically sterile (e.g., tubal occlusion, hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, bilateral oophorectomy) or for ≥12 months. The site will try to retrieve medical records to document the sterility, however, the absence of records will not exclude screening the participant. If medical records cannot be obtained, serum and urine pregnancy testing will be conducted. Postmenopausal status will be confirmed through testing of FSH levels ≥ 40 IU/mL at screening for amenorrheic female participants \<50 years of age.

    Males must be surgically sterile (>30 days since vasectomy with no viable sperm), abstinent or if engaged in sexual relations with a , the participant and his partner must be using an acceptable, highly effective, method from Screening and for a period of 60 days after the last dose of Study Drug. Acceptable methods of contraception are the use of condoms and an effective contraceptive for the female partner that includes: surgical sterilization (e.g., bilateral tubal ligation), hormonal contraception, or intrauterine contraception/device). The Principal Investigator will assess the adequacy of methods of contraception on a case-by-case basis.

  5. Ability to provide written .

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Participation in an drug study within 30 days prior to dosing or 5 half-lives within the last dose of investigational product whichever is longer.
  2. Current use of any prescription or over-the-counter (OTC) medications, including herbal products and supplements, within 14 days prior to Day 1 or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer. [Use of ≤2 g per day of paracetamol (acetaminophen) is allowed prior to and during the study at Investigator discretion. The reason for use must be listed either in the subject's baseline information or as an adverse event.]
  3. Any use of non- anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) within 7 days prior to dosing.
  4. History of any serious adverse reaction or to any of the product components.
  5. Use of parenterally administered proteins or antibodies within 12 weeks of screening. (Note: Influenza vaccine will be allowed)
  6. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase(G6PD) deficiency.
  7. History of weight loss > 5% in the 8 weeks prior to screening.
  8. History of any active infection, other than mild viral illness, within 30 days prior to dosing.
  9. History of alcohol or illicit drug abuse as judged by the Investigator within approximately 1 year
  10. Use of any nicotine-containing product within 6 months prior to Screening or at any time during the study and follow-up as confirmed by urine cotinine screening.
  11. Presence of medical history, physical, laboratory, or findings that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may potentially compromise the safety of the subject, or interfere with any aspect of study conduct or interpretation of results.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(10)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

BMI (body mass index)

Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.

What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

Postmenopausal

Periods have stopped for good: usually no period for 12 months in a row without another medical reason, sometimes confirmed by a blood test (FSH).

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

ECG (electrocardiogram)

A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, taken with stickers on the chest, arms and legs. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 11, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
