Inclusion criteria

  • Males and females age 18-45 years
  • Body weight ≥ 45kg (female) or 50Kg (male), 18 ≤ ≤ 26
  • Vital signs, physical examinations and laboratory tests and other tests prove participants are healthy
  • Sign the form voluntarily and cooperate voluntarily to complete the test

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Allergens (allergic to 2 or more drugs, food or pollen)
  • comorbid illness (mental illness, liver and kidney disease, gastrointestinal diseases, nervous system disease, or other systemic diseases)
  • have abnormal screening laboratory values.
  • Systolic pressure > 140mmHg or diastolic > 90 mmHg
  • Postural hypotension (systolic blood pressure drop by 20mmHg or diastolic blood pressure drop by 10mmHg after standing position)
  • The period ≥ 450ms (male) or 470ms (female) or has a history of QTc extension
  • Smoking or alcohol consumption (14 units per week in the previous 4 weeks : 1 unit = beer 285mL, or 25mL of spirits, or 150 mL of wine; Daily smoking ≥ 5) or abusing in past year of drug and other substance
  • Have donated blood > 400 ml within 8 weeks prior to screening
  • Participated in other clinical trials within 3 months prior to screening
  • Intaked too much caffeinated beverage or food within 4 weeks prior to screening. such as: Coffee, tea, chocolate, cola, red bull (no more than 6 units per day). 1 unit of caffeine = 1 cup of coffee (177.4 mL) = 2 pots of cola (354.9 mL) = 1 cup of tea (354.9 mL) = 1/2 cup energy drink = 85g chocolate
  • Have taken drugs that changed liver enzyme activity, such as dexamethasone, ketoconazole, rifampicin and omeprazole, were used within 4 weeks prior to screening
  • Have taken prescription drugs and OTC (except for the occasional use of acetaminophen and nasal sprays), herbs vitamins or minerals within 4 weeks prior to screening. The interval from prior treatment to screening should be at least 5 half-lives metablism which subjected to the longer half-life
  • Using any psychotropic drug or psychoactive substance
  • Women were screened for positive blood pregnancy
  • The subjects and their partners were not willing to take during trial and six months after the study
  • Have a donor plan recently
  • Have participated in this trial
  • The researchers believe that anyone who is unfit to participate in this test will be involved
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(5)

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.

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.

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.

QT and QTc

On an ECG, the QT interval is the time the heart’s lower chambers take to activate electrically and recover in each beat. QTc is that time adjusted for heart rate (QTcF by Fridericia’s formula, QTcB by Bazett’s). Some medicines lengthen it, and a long QTc can raise the risk of a dangerous heart rhythm.

The study may name a correction formula and a limit in milliseconds, often around 450–480.

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.
