Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Healthy adults aged 18-55 years with BMI 18-32 kg/m2, weight 45-120 kg, minimal tobacco use, and no significant medical conditions.

Probably not a fit

Participants with significant comorbidities, women who are pregnant or lactating, or those not meeting health criteria are unlikely to benefit from the study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a Phase 1, randomized, open-label study comparing the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of CG-0255 Besylate (capsule and injection forms) with Clopidogrel (Plavix®) in healthy volunteers. Participants are healthy men and women aged 18 to 55 without significant medical conditions, with careful screening and informed consent. The study aims to characterize how CG-0255 is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted, and how it affects platelet function relative to Plavix®. Results will inform whether CG-0255 could offer similar or different biological effects in the absence of disease. The trial is sponsored by Shanghai CureGene and conducted at a site in Miami, FL, in collaboration with Syneos Health.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the study could support further development of CG-0255 as a potential alternative to Plavix® with a defined pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile.

How similar studies have gone: Previous studies in healthy volunteers have explored similar親 pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic comparisons for antiplatelet agents, informing the approach of this trial.

* Male participants considered fertile must agree to not plan to father a child, not donate sperm and take effective contraceptive methods from the screening period to 3 months after the last dose of the study treatment. The female partner of a male participant also needs to use a highly effective contraceptive method during this period.
* Male participants (including men who have had a vasectomy) with a pregnant partner must agree to use a condom from the screening period to 3 months after the last dose of the study treatment.
