Summary

This early-stage trial tests whether HL-300 ointment is safe and tolerable when applied to the skin of healthy adult volunteers. Researchers will give single or multiple doses of the ointment or a placebo to 36 participants aged 18 to 45 in China. The study monitors for side effects and how the body processes the drug, laying groundwork for future testing in people with atopic dermatitis (eczema).
