Can a single injection of HMB-003 be safe for humans? a first test begins
NCT ID NCT07798505
First seen Sep 01, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
Researchers are testing a new experimental drug called HMB-003 in healthy adults aged 18 to 50. The goal is to see how well the body tolerates a single injection and to measure how much of the drug stays in the blood and urine. This first-in-human study focuses on safety and how the drug behaves, not yet on treating any disease.
