Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Healthy adults aged 18 to 55 with BMI 18.0–32.0 kg/m² and no significant medical findings.

Probably not a fit

Individuals with health issues or conditions that affect drug metabolism or contraindications to PSTC100 may not benefit.

What this trial studies

This is a single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation Phase 1 trial of PSTC100 in healthy adults. It has two parts: Part 1 tests single ascending doses from 25 mg to 400 mg, and Part 2 tests once-daily dosing from 100 mg to 300 mg for seven days. The study will compare PSTC100 to placebo and will collect safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic data. Enrollment includes two cohorts per dose in Part 1 (with more subjects per cohort) and three cohorts in Part 2, totaling approximately 70 participants. The trial is conducted at a single site with Prospect Therapeutics as lead sponsor.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, PSTC100 could provide foundational safety and PK/PD data to support future efficacy studies.

How similar studies have gone: Phase 1 studies of similar compounds have shown that careful dose-escalation can establish safety and PK/PD profiles in healthy volunteers.
