What this trial studies
This is a Phase 1, first-in-China trial evaluating the safety, local tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of YR001 Topical Ointment in healthy adults. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either YR001 or a vehicle ointment, with single-dose and multiple-dose administrations to assess systemic absorption and disposition. The study aims to compare safety signals between the active treatment and placebo while monitoring for any local skin reactions. Eligible participants are adults aged 18–65 without significant dermatologic conditions, who use contraception during the study and for 3 months after completion. The trial is conducted at Hebei CNPC Central Hospital in Langfang, China, under a sponsor-supported framework.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: Participants may gain no direct therapeutic benefit, but the study could help determine the safety profile and pharmacokinetics of YR001 for future development.
How similar studies have gone: Phase 1 topical pharmacokinetic and safety studies with similar designs have shown the feasibility of comparing active and vehicle formulations in healthy volunteers.

Exclusion Criteria: * Current or history of clinically significant medical conditions or other disorders that may interfere with the assessment of safety, tolerability, or PK of YR001 Ointment, or place the participant at increased risk. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, or participants with a positive pregnancy test. Tattoos, scars, cuts, bruises, or other skin injuries (including excessive UV exposure) at the intended application site that, in the investigator's judgment, may affect drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, or trial safety. Dermatological diseases or infections (e.g., acne, impetigo) or skin conditions at the intended application area that may interfere with study assessments, or that the investigator considers may affect drug absorption or skin observation. Unwilling to refrain from using depilatory creams or wax on the intended application area for 2 weeks prior to dosing and throughout the study.
