Run by Peking University People's Hospital · NCT07182656 · Data updated 2026-11-12

We will test whether CIGB-814 is safe, well-tolerated, and how the body processes it in healthy Chinese adults aged 18–45.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Healthy men and women aged 18–45 with BMI 19.0–26.0 (minimum weight thresholds apply), able to give informed consent, and not planning pregnancy or gamete donation are eligible.

Probably not a fit

People with active rheumatoid arthritis, those outside the age or BMI ranges, pregnant people or those planning pregnancy, and individuals with significant medical conditions are not eligible and are unlikely to gain direct benefit from participation.

What this trial studies

This is a Phase 1, randomized, placebo-controlled study using single- and multiple-dose cohorts in healthy Chinese adults to measure safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of CIGB-814. Participants will be assigned to single-dose or multiple-dose groups with matching placebo arms and will have serial blood sampling to measure drug levels, immune markers, and antibody responses. Secondary and exploratory endpoints include preliminary PD, immunogenicity, and detailed profiling of immune cell subsets and signaling pathways after repeated dosing. The trial is conducted at Peking University People's Hospital in Beijing with close monitoring for adverse events.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the trial could identify safe dosing and early immune effects that help advance CIGB-814 toward testing as a new treatment option for rheumatoid arthritis.

How similar studies have gone: Peptide-based immunotherapies and early-phase trials of similar agents have shown preliminary immune activity in humans, but clinical benefit in rheumatoid arthritis has not yet been established.

  6. Chronic pain (persistent or recurrent for \>3 months) or currently experiencing acute pain (\<3 months).

  2.History of significant allergies, including known hypersensitivity to any investigational product or its components, food allergies, pollen allergies, or other allergic conditions.

  3.Smoking more than 5 cigarettes per day (or equivalent tobacco use) within 3 months prior to screening, or inability to abstain from tobacco during the study.

  4.History of alcohol abuse, average alcohol consumption ≥14 units/week within 3 months prior to screening (1 unit = 10 mL ethanol, e.g., 200 mL beer \[5%\], 25 mL spirits \[40%\], or 83 mL wine \[12%\]), positive alcohol breath test at admission, or inability to abstain from alcohol during the study.

  5.Excessive consumption of tea, coffee, or other caffeinated beverages (average \>8 cups/day, 1 cup = 250 mL) within 3 months prior to screening.

  6.Inability to refrain from caffeine-containing foods or beverages (e.g., coffee, strong tea, cola, chocolate) within 72 hours prior to admission or during the study, or consumption of other foods affecting drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion (e.g., dragon fruit, mango, grapefruit, pomelo, orange, starfruit, guava).

  7.Participation in another clinical trial involving drugs or devices within 3 months prior to screening, or use of investigational products prior to first admission.

  8.Vaccination (including but not limited to COVID-19, tetanus, rabies, HPV) within 2 months prior to screening.

  9.Blood donation or significant blood loss (≥400 mL) within 3 months prior to screening, transfusion or use of blood products within 3 months prior, blood loss ≥200 mL within 30 days, or plasma/aphresis donation within 7 days prior.
