Overview

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of APG-5918 in Healthy Subjects or Anemic Patients.

Description

The trial has two parts. Part A is a randomized, double-blind, placebo- controlled, single-dose escalation study in up to 7 cohorts to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and PK characteristics of APG-5918 in healthy subjects and to explore whether MTDS will be achieved within the range of projected therapeutic doses for anemia.

Part B is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-dose escalation trial in up to 7 cohorts to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK and preliminary efficacy of APG-5918 in anemic subjects.

  11. Subjects and their partners volunteer to use protocol-specified effective contraception during treatment and for at least 3 months after the last dose of study drug (see Section 8.7 for details).
  12. Ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent form (the consent form must be signed by the subject prior to any study-specific procedures).

Exclusion criteria

1.Exclusion criteria for healthy subjects

  1. History of any disease or clinical condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, could confound the results of the study or pose an additional risk to the subject by administering study drug. Including but not limited to history or presence of cardiac, endocrine, hematologic, hepatic, gastrointestinal, immunologic, metabolic, urologic, pulmonary, neurologic, dermatologic, psychiatric, renal, and/or other diseases.
  2. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) > 2 × upper limit of normal (ULN), or total bilirubin (TBIL) > 1.5 × ULN at screening.
  3. Surgery (except minor cosmetic surgery or minor dental surgery) within 3 months prior to screening.
  4. Blood donation or blood loss of more than 400 ml within 3 months before screening or plans to donate blood or blood components during the study.
  5. Use of another investigational product within 30 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, or currently participating in a prospective study of an investigational product or medical device.
  6. History of addictive substance abuse.
  7. Alcohol breath test fails.

2.Exclusion criteria for anemic subjects

  1. Clinically significant or uncontrolled persistent autoimmune diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, celiac disease, etc.).

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
