Study summary

A Phase I Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of KPC000154 Tablets in Healthy Subjects

Read the detailed description

KPC000154 is a thyroid hormone receptor beta (THR-β) agonist that improves NASH by increasing hepatic fat metabolism and reducing fat toxicity. Preclinical studies have shown that KPC000154 significantly reduces lipid levels and liver fibrosis in animal models.

  2. Healthy male and female subjects aged 18 to 55 years (inclusive of boundary values), with multiple-dose administration trials requiring subjects to have low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels that are either close to or at the borderline elevation (i.e., 2.8 mmol/L (110 mg/dL) ≤ LDL-C \< 4.1 mmol/L (160 mg/dL)) are eligible for inclusion.
  3. Male subjects must weigh ≥ 50.0 kg, and female subjects ≥ 45.0 kg; single-dose administration trials require a body mass index (BMI) within the range of 19.0-26.0 kg/m² (inclusive of boundary values), while multiple-dose administration trials require a BMI within the range of 19.0-30.0 kg/m² (inclusive of boundary values).
