ZL-65 tablet in healthy adults: safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics in China

Official title: Phase I Clinical Study of ZL-65 Tablet in Healthy Adult Participants in China: Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Single/Multiple Oral Dose Escalation for Safety Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Preliminary Pharmacodynamics, and Food Effect

Run by Chengdu Zenitar Biomedical Technology Co., Ltd · NCT07757152 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This first‑in‑humans study tests whether a single dose of ZL‑65 is safe and well tolerated in healthy adults in China and looks at how the body handles the drug, including the effect of food on absorption.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Healthy adults in China, aged 18–45, with BMI between 19 and 28 kg/m^2 and body weight above 45 kg for females or 50 kg for males, who can provide informed consent.

Probably not a fit

Individuals with significant medical history, allergies to the study drug or excipients, or pregnant or lactating women are unlikely to benefit and may be excluded.

What this trial studies

This Phase 1 study evaluates a single oral dose of ZL-65 tablets in healthy adult participants to assess safety, tolerability, and basic pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics. The trial uses a dose-escalation design to identify initial tolerability limits and to observe how food intake may influence drug exposure. An open question in this study is how ZL-65 behaves in the body when taken with and without food, and how it may affect biological markers in healthy volunteers. The study compares ZL-65 to a placebo to help distinguish drug effects from background variation. Conducted at Chengdu Xinhua Hospital, the trial is sponsored by Chengdu Zenitar Biomedical Technology Co., with healthy volunteers meeting predefined eligibility criteria.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience no direct medical benefit, but the information could help establish the safety profile and dosing guidance for ZL-65.

How similar studies have gone: Phase 1 trials of similar oral agents typically establish safety and PK/PD; this study appears to be an early human investigation rather than a replication of prior successful trials.
