Official title: A Two-Phase, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Phase I Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of BSY001 for Injection Following Single or Multiple Doses in Healthy Subjects.
Run by China National Biotec Group Company Limited · NCT07377175 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This trial will test whether BSY001 is safe, well tolerated, and how it is absorbed and cleared when given once or multiple times to healthy adults aged 18–50.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Healthy men and women aged 18–50 with BMI 19.0–30.0 and within the specified weight ranges who can give informed consent and agree to required contraception are eligible.
✕Probably not a fit
People with a known allergy to tecovirimat or formulation excipients, those outside the age or BMI limits, or patients seeking treatment for active poxvirus disease are unlikely to benefit from participation.

What this trial studies
The trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 1 program in healthy volunteers with two parts: a single-ascending-dose part (37.5–300 mg across five groups) and a multiple-dose pharmacokinetic part. About 46 subjects are planned for the single-dose escalation with predefined sentinel and placebo allocations, and 30 subjects will be enrolled in the multiple-dose portion after safety and PK review. Blood samples for pharmacokinetics are collected before and after dosing and tolerability is specifically reviewed (including a Day 4 check) before escalating to the next dose. An independent Safety Monitoring Committee will review PK and safety data between parts and before progression to higher doses or the multiple-dose phase.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, BSY001 could become an additional antiviral option for poxvirus infections such as monkeypox and smallpox.
How similar studies have gone: Related antivirals like tecovirimat have shown safety and activity against orthopoxviruses in humans, providing precedent though BSY001 itself is in first-in-human Phase 1 testing.
