First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This early-stage trial tested a single injection of HRS-7249 in 48 healthy adults with high cholesterol. The main goal was to check safety and how the drug moves through the body. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either the drug or a placebo, and researchers monitored for side effects. This is a first step to see if the drug might one day help control cholesterol levels.
