What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This early-stage trial will test whether a new injection called GLR1044 works like the approved drug Dupixent in the body. About 198 healthy Chinese men will receive a single dose of either GLR1044 or Dupixent. Researchers will compare how the drugs are absorbed and processed, and monitor for any side effects over two months.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
GLR1044 injection (a proposed biosimilar to dupilumab)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a more affordable version of Dupixent for treating conditions like asthma and eczema.
What could go wrong
This is an early phase 1 study in healthy people, not patients. It only checks if the drug behaves similarly, not if it works for any disease. Results may not predict real-world effectiveness.

Male subjects aged 18 to 55 years (both inclusive) at the time of signing informed consent forms. 3\. Subjects must agree to use reliable contraception for themselves and their partners during the study and within 6 months after the end of the study (the contraception used should comply with local regulations on the use of contraceptive methods for subjects participating in clinical studies), and not donate sperm for assisted reproductive purposes. 4\. The body mass index (BMI) at screening is 19-26 kg/m2 (both exclusive), and the weight is 55-85 kg (both exclusive). 5\. The results of medical history review, physical examinations, laboratory tests, imaging examinations and ECG at screening/visit 2 (V2) are judged by the investigator to be normal or abnormal but not clinically significant. No personal history of tuberculosis, no possible previous history of tuberculosis exposure, and no previous and/or current immunomodulatory treatment. 6.No personal history of tuberculosis, no possible previous history of tuberculosis exposure, and no previous and/or current immunomodulatory treatment. Exclusion Criteria: * 1.History of drug abuse within 1 year prior to screening, or positive predose drug abuse screening result at Visit 2 (V2); or history of alcohol abuse within 6 months prior to screening, or positive predose alcohol breath test result at V2. 2\. Subjects who smoked \> 5 cigarettes/day within 3 months prior to screening or who cannot stop using any tobacco products during the study. 3\. The subject and/or first-degree relatives have a history of venous thromboembolic events or idiopathic venous thromboembolic events before screening. 4\. Presence of sunburn, scar tissue, tattoos, open ulcers or branding at screening that the investigator believes will interfere with the interpretation of adverse skin reactions. 5\. Eye or oral infections at screening, including but not limited to conjunctivitis, blepharitis and oral herpes. 6\. The following medical history with a clear diagnosis in the past or at screening: Subjects with cardiovascular disorders, hematological diseases, respiratory disorders, digestive system diseases, abnormal hepatic function, abnormal renal function, endocrine and metabolic disorders (except for overweight), nervous system disorders or psychiatric disorders, skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders, musculoskeletal system disorders, and immune system disorders, who in the opinion of the investigator should be excluded from the study due to the above-mentioned diseases, or other diseases that may interfere with the interpretation of study results. 7\. The estimated glomerular filtration rate at screening is \< 90 mL/min/1.73m2 as calculated using the CKD-EPI equation. 8\. Any malignant tumor suspected or diagnosed prior to screening. 9. Subjects with blood donation or blood loss ≥ 400 mL within 3 months prior to screening, or subjects with bone marrow donation. 10\. Subjects who have undergone major surgery (including but not limited to surgery requiring general anesthesia) or organ transplantation within 3 months prior to screening, or are still in a state of illness, trauma or incomplete recovery from surgery at the time of screening (e.g., significant impairment in daily living or working capacity compared to pre-illness/injury/surgery status), or plan to undergo surgery during the study or within two months after the end of the study. 11.Subjects with allergic constitution, or a history of allergic diseases such as bronchial asthma, urticaria, and eczema. 12\.
