Healthy volunteers test two versions of a promising heart failure drug
NCT ID NCT07717749
First seen Jul 21, 2026 · Last updated Jul 22, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests two different formulations of an experimental drug called AD-118 in healthy adults aged 19 to 64. Participants receive a single dose of each version in a random order, and researchers measure how the drug moves through the body and check for side effects. The goal is to see which formulation is safer and better absorbed before testing it in people with chronic heart failure.
