Single-dose study of DTI-117 given by injection in healthy adults
Official title: A Phase 1, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Single Intramuscular (IM) Doses of DTI-117 in Healthy Participants.
Run by Dignify Therapeutics · NCT07882472 · Data updated 2026-11-12
Researchers are testing a one-time dose of DTI-117 in healthy adult volunteers to see if it is safe and how it moves through the body.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Healthy adults, 18–65 years old, with BMI ≤32 and weight 45–100 kg, who have no significant medical conditions and can comply with study procedures.
✕Probably not a fit
Individuals with significant medical conditions or recent surgeries, or those unwilling to comply with study requirements, may not benefit from participation.

What this trial studies
This Phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will use up to five groups of eight healthy adults to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of intramuscular DTI-117 after a single ascending dose. Participants will receive either DTI-117 or placebo and will be monitored for adverse events, vital signs, ECGs, and laboratory measurements. The trial aims to identify a safe dose range and understand how the drug behaves in the body. Enrollment targets healthy volunteers aged 18 to 65 with specific weight and health criteria, excluding those with recent surgeries or significant medical conditions. The study is sponsored by Dignify Therapeutics with collaboration from NINDS and conducted at Thermo Fisher in Austin, Texas.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: Participants may not directly benefit, but the information could help determine safe dosing for future studies.
How similar studies have gone: Previous early-stage studies of similar intramuscular single-dose designs have shown safety and pharmacokinetic data to be informative for dose selection, though each drug is evaluated separately.

Inclusion Criteria: * Provide written informed consent to participate. * Adult male and female healthy volunteers between 18 to 65 years of age, inclusive. * General good health, with no clinically relevant abnormalities as determined by the medical history, physical exam, ECG, and clinical laboratory results. * Screening body weight between 45 and 100 kg, inclusive, with body mass index (BMI) ≤32 kg/m2. Exclusion Criteria: * Gastrointestinal or urological surgery in the previous 6 months. * Presence of any clinically significant infectious, cardiac, pulmonary, hepatic, renal, hematologic, gastrointestinal, endocrine, immunologic, dermatologic, neurologic, oncologic, or psychiatric disease, in the opinion of the investigator. * History of colitis. * Current chronic intermittent constipation requiring medication more than twice per month. * Use of any investigational drug within 30 days of Screening or 5 drug half-lives, whichever is longer. * Individuals not willing or unable to tolerate blood draws or individuals with poor venous access. * Presence or history of any condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, might reasonably jeopardize the safety of the participant, the ability to collect study data, or the validity of the study results.
