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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 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.
