NCT ID NCT06570655

First seen Aug 17, 2026 ยท Last updated Aug 17, 2026

Summary

This early-stage trial is testing how a single injection of huperzine A moves through the body and affects a key enzyme in red blood cells. Twelve healthy Chinese volunteers will receive the drug in four different ways to measure its concentration over time and its effect on acetylcholinesterase activity. The goal is to understand the drug's behavior and dosing, which could inform future studies for conditions like Alzheimer's disease.
