Food effects on AJ201 absorption and safety in healthy Japanese and White men.
Official title: A Phase 1, Randomized, Single-dose, Open-label, Two-way, Crossover Study to Evaluate the Effect of Food on AJ201, and to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of AJ201 in Japanese and White Healthy Male Participants
Run by AnnJi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. · NCT07549919 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This test checks whether taking AJ201 with food changes how the drug is absorbed and whether it is safe in healthy Japanese and White men.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Healthy Japanese or White men aged 18–55 who are non-smokers, weigh at least 50 kg, have a BMI of 18.5–30 kg/m2, and have normal renal function.
✕Probably not a fit
Women, people outside the age or BMI ranges, current or recent smokers, those with significant medical conditions, or non-Japanese/White individuals are not eligible and would not receive direct benefit from participation.

What this trial studies
This randomized, open-label, single-dose, two-way crossover Phase 1 study enrolls healthy Japanese and White male volunteers to compare AJ201 given with and without food. Each participant receives two treatments in different periods with a washout between doses, and blood samples are taken to measure pharmacokinetic parameters. Safety and tolerability are monitored by vital signs, laboratory tests, and adverse event reporting throughout the study. Results will define any food-related changes in absorption and provide initial safety data to guide later clinical development.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the results will clarify whether food alters AJ201 absorption and safety so dosing and administration instructions can be set for future patient studies.
How similar studies have gone: Food-effect crossover pharmacokinetic studies in healthy volunteers are a routine, well-established method and have been used successfully to detect absorption changes for many drugs, although findings vary by compound.
