Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Healthy postmenopausal women aged 45–75 with BMI 18–30, weight ≥45 kg, normal labs and ECG, and willing to comply with study procedures are the intended participants.
✕Probably not a fit
Women with significant medical conditions, abnormal screening tests (including low platelet counts), those outside the age/BMI/weight ranges, or who cannot attend visits in Chengdu are unlikely to be eligible or to benefit.

What this trial studies
This Phase I, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single- and multiple-dose escalation trial enrolls healthy postmenopausal women to characterize safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of IMC-003. Participants are randomized to receive IMC-003 or matched placebo at ascending dose levels with close clinical and laboratory monitoring, ECGs, and scheduled PK/PD sampling. Key inclusion criteria include age 45–75, postmenopausal status by history or surgery, BMI 18–30, and normal screening labs. The study is sponsored by ImmuneOnco Biopharmaceuticals and conducted at Chengdu Xinhua Hospital with single and multiple dosing cohorts to guide safe dose selection for future patient studies.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If IMC-003 shows an acceptable safety and pharmacokinetic profile, it could enable later trials that test its therapeutic effects in patient populations.
How similar studies have gone: Phase I dose-escalation studies of similar injectable immunomodulators have sometimes demonstrated manageable safety and predictable pharmacokinetics, but IMC-003 itself appears to be an early-stage, novel candidate with limited public human data.
