Study summary

This is an open-label, non-randomized study to assess how DA-302168S is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and eliminated after a single oral dose. The study includes three groups: subjects with mild hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class A), subjects with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class B), and healthy subjects matched by gender, age, and body mass index (BMI). It will also explore the relationship between baseline liver function measures and the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of DA-302168S, to support appropriate dosing recommendations for patients with liver impairment.

    2. Positive Treponema pallidum antibody;
    3. Screening diastolic BP ≥90 mmHg or systolic BP ≥140 mmHg (if so, measure 2 additional times and use the mean of 3 measurements);
    4. Use of any medication within 28 days or 5 elimination half-lives (whichever is longer) before first dosing, including prescription drugs, OTC drugs, herbal medicines, Chinese patent medicines, or nutritional supplements.

Timeline

1 registry update since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Oct 2026; primary completion for Apr 2027, 5 months later.

Of 257 industry-sponsored phase 1 interventional studies under Obesity, half reached primary completion within 9 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 15. This study's planned 5 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 328 studies reached it within 11 months; a quarter within 6 and three quarters within 27.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

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.
