NCT ID NCT07619885

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This early-stage trial compares a new investigational drug, CG-0255, to the established blood thinner Plavix in 136 healthy adults aged 18-55. The goal is to see if CG-0255 is processed by the body similarly to Plavix and has the same effect on preventing blood clots. Participants will receive either CG-0255 or Plavix, and researchers will measure drug levels and platelet function.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

CG-0255 (a prodrug similar to clopidogrel/Plavix)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a new option for preventing dangerous blood clots in people with heart disease or stroke risk.

What could go wrong

This is a very early Phase 1 study in healthy volunteers, not patients. It only measures drug levels and platelet activity, not actual clinical outcomes like heart attacks. Many drugs fail in later stages.
