Evaluating the safety and pharmacokinetics of CKD-846 in healthy men

A Randomized, Open-label and Parallel Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics and Safety of CKD-846 in Healthy Male Subjects

This study is testing a new drug called CKD-846 in healthy men aged 19 to 55 to see how their bodies process it and if there are any safety issues.

Quick facts

• Phase: Phase 1
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 40 (estimated)
• Ages: 19 Years to 55 Years
• Sex: Male
• Sponsor: Chong Kun Dang Pharmaceutical (Industry-sponsored)

What this trial studies

This clinical trial is a randomized, open-label, parallel study designed to assess the pharmacokinetics and safety of CKD-846 in healthy male participants aged 19 to 55. The study will involve administering CKD-846 and monitoring its effects on the participants' health. The primary focus is to gather data on how the drug is processed in the body and to identify any potential safety concerns. Participants will be required to meet specific health criteria and agree to certain precautions during the trial.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are healthy men aged 19 to 55 with a body mass index between 18.5 and 27.0.

Not a fit: Patients with significant medical histories or conditions such as cardiovascular diseases or other serious health issues may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the safety and effectiveness of CKD-846 for treating benign prostate hypertrophy.

How similar studies have performed: While this specific approach is novel, similar studies evaluating pharmacokinetics and safety of new drugs have shown promise in the past.
