First human trial launches for Hemay5259: a new Extended-Release drug candidate
NCT ID NCT07703904
First seen Jul 15, 2026 · Last updated Jul 16, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-stage trial evaluates the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (how the body absorbs and processes the drug) of Hemay5259 extended-release tablets in healthy adults aged 18 to 55. Participants receive either the drug or a placebo, and the study also examines how food affects the drug's absorption. The goal is to gather essential data before moving to larger studies.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- an experimental drug called Hemay5259 in an extended-release tablet
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could provide the safety and dosing data needed to move Hemay5259 into later trials for a potential new treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early Phase 1 study with only 32 healthy people, so it cannot prove the drug works for any disease. Side effects are possible and will be closely monitored.

Inclusion Criteria: * Must have given written informed consent before any study-related activities are carried out and must be able to understand the full nature and purpose of the study, including possible risks and adverse effects. * Adult males and females between ≥ 18 and ≤ 55 years (inclusive) at Screening. * Body mass index (BMI) ≥ 18.0 and ≤ 30.0 kg/m2 with a body weight ≥ 50 kg (males) or ≥45 kg (females) at Screening. * Participants with normal results or non-clinically significant (NCS) abnormal results in the opinion of the PI or delegate for a comprehensive examination, including physical examination, vital signs examination, laboratory tests (hematology, biochemistry, coagulation and urinalysis). * a)Female participants are eligible to participate if they are not pregnant, not breastfeeding, and at least 1 of the following conditions applies: * Women of non-childbearing potential (WONCBP), defined as surgically sterile (hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy - verbal confirmation through medical history review acceptable) or postmenopausal (no menses for 12 months and confirmed by follicle stimulating hormone \[FSH\] level \>40 mIU/mL); * Woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) and agree to practice true abstinence or agrees to use an highly effective method of contraception (refer to Section 4.6.3) consistently from the signing of informed consent form (ICF) to 90 days after the last dose of IPs and refrain from donating eggs during this period. And WOCBP must have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening and a negative urine pregnancy test at Day -1. * Participant is in an exclusively same-sex relationship. b)Male participants must agree to practice true abstinence; be surgically sterilized (performed at least 6 months prior to screening and documented to no longer produce sperm - verbal confirmation through medical history review acceptable); or agree to use a condom plus effective contraception methods (refer to Section 4.6.3) for their female partner, if of childbearing potential, from the signing of ICF to 90 days after the last dose of IPs and refrain from donating sperm during this period. These contraception requirements do not apply if the male participant is in an exclusively same sex relationship. * Able and willing to attend the necessary visits to the study site. Exclusion Criteria: * Any history or presence of clinically relevant cardiovascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal, metabolic, hematological, neurological, musculoskeletal, rheumatological, psychiatric , systemic, ocular, or infectious disease, or signs of acute illness. * Any history or presence of depression. * Any history or presence of gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal disease that affect drug absorption or metabolism. * Any surgery within 1 months prior to the first dose. * Any history or presence of chronic infectious diseases such as tuberculosis (judged by the Investigator according to QuantiFERON gold). * Participants with a clinically significant infection history within 4 weeks prior to first dose, or any serious infection requiring intravenous antimicrobial therapy within 6 months prior to Screening. * Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) \>1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN) at Screening or Day -1. * Participants with clinically significant abnormal 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) results as judged by the PI or delegate or with a corrected QTc (formula: QTcF = QT/RR1/3) interval greater than 450 msec in males and 470 msec in females. * Participants with positive test results for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis C virus antibody (HCV Ab), treponema pallidum antibody (Syphilis TP Ab) or human immunodeficiency virus antibody (HIV Ab) at Screening. * Participants with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) \< 90 mL/min/1.73m2 (using the CKD-EPI equation). * Presence or history of drug/food hypersensitivity, or anaphylactic reaction, diagnosed and treated by a physician, or have special dietary requirements. * Known hypersensitivity to any component of the IP formulation. * Participants who regularly drink more than 14 standard units of alcohol per week for females and more than 21 standard units of alcohol per week for males;
