Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal participants are healthy men and women aged 18–55 with BMI 18–28 kg/m2 who meet the minimum weight requirements, are willing to use effective contraception, and can attend the Changchun site.
✕Probably not a fit
People with active IBD or other significant medical conditions, recent heavy smoking or substance use, recent use of drugs that alter liver enzymes, or those outside the age/BMI ranges are unlikely to benefit from participation.

What this trial studies
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 1 trial enrolls healthy adults to examine safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and the effect of food on HW201877. Part 1 uses single ascending doses and includes a two-period crossover cohort to measure food effect, while Part 2 uses multiple ascending doses to study repeat dosing. Subjects are randomized to HW201877 capsules or placebo and monitored with clinical labs, adverse event reporting, and serial PK/PD sampling. The trial is conducted at The First Hospital of Jilin University in Changchun, China with participants aged 18–55 and prespecified weight, BMI, and smoking criteria.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the study could identify safe dosing and PK/PD data needed to advance HW201877 into patient trials for IBD and other conditions.
How similar studies have gone: Single- and multiple-ascending-dose, randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 1 designs are common and have successfully provided safety and PK data for many IBD drug candidates, though HW201877 itself appears novel and untested in patients.
