Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal participants are healthy adults aged 18–45 with BMI 19–28 and minimum weight requirements who have no significant medical history and agree to the study procedures and contraception requirements.

Probably not a fit

People with significant medical conditions, drug allergies, recent medication or vaccine use, difficult venous access, pregnancy, or those planning surgery are unlikely to benefit from participation.

What this trial studies

This single-center Phase 1 trial enrolls healthy volunteers in two parts: an open-label single-dose active-comparator arm to characterize the comparator's pharmacokinetics, followed by a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled single ascending dose (SAD) arm of KLA478. Participants are healthy adults aged 18–45 who meet weight and BMI criteria and undergo screening labs and clinical exams. Doses of KLA478 will be escalated across cohorts with close safety monitoring and serial blood sampling for pharmacokinetic analysis. The study collects safety, tolerability, and PK data to inform dosing for later-phase studies.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the trial could identify a safe single dose and provide pharmacokinetic data to guide future patient studies of KLA478.

How similar studies have gone: Single ascending-dose first-in-human studies are a standard approach that have successfully defined safety and PK for many new drugs, but KLA478 itself is novel and untested in humans.
