Study summary

This study aims to investigate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic characteristics of KR23248 capsules in healthy subjects. This study will be conducted in China. It will enroll male and female participants aged 18 years to 45 years.

Read the detailed description

This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalating Phase I trial, aiming to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles of single and multiple oral doses of KR23248 capsules in healthy adult subjects. The study consists of two parts: Single Ascending Dose (SAD) and Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) studies.

The single ascending dose study plans to enroll 54 healthy subjects, with predefined dose escalation levels of 0.5 mg, 1.0 mg, 2.0 mg, 3.0 mg, 4.5 mg, and 6.0 mg in sequence. The multiple ascending dose study sets the initial dose at 2.0 mg, with 12 healthy subjects planned for enrollment.
