Three pill versions of one drug go head to head in the bloodstream
NCT ID NCT07823205
First seen Sep 16, 2026 · Last updated Sep 17, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers are comparing three oral formulations of an experimental drug called KT-621 to see how much of each version reaches the bloodstream. The study enrolls 54 healthy adults who take the different formulations in sequence, with blood samples measuring drug levels over time. The goal is to identify which formulation the body absorbs best and to check for side effects.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- KT-621, an experimental oral drug tested in three different formulations
- What this could lead to
- If one formulation delivers KT-621 into the bloodstream more reliably, it could become the version researchers carry into later trials for the condition KT-621 targets.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 1 study in 54 healthy adults, so it can only show how the drug is absorbed and tolerated, not whether it treats any disease. Formulations that look good here may still fail in larger studies.
Why investors are watching
Kymera Therapeutics runs this Phase 1 trial to compare how much KT-621 reaches the bloodstream from different oral formulations, and to check safety in 54 healthy adults. For a small company, the result shapes which pill form moves into later testing, so a clear answer here affects the whole development plan.
If it works: If one formulation delivers KT-621 reliably and safely, Kymera can pick it for larger trials and avoid reformulation work later. That could keep the program on schedule.
If it fails: If the formulations perform poorly or safety problems appear, Kymera may need to redesign the drug's oral form and repeat early testing. Phase 1 trials often fail, and any delay pushes later studies back.

Inclusion Criteria: * Participants with a weight of at least 50 kilograms (kg) if male or 40 kg if female, and a body mass index (BMI) between 18.0 and 32.0 kg/m² (inclusive) at Screening. * Participants must be willing and able to read, understand, and sign an informed consent form (ICF) which includes compliance with requirements and restrictions listed in the ICF and in this protocol. * Participants must be willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests, and other study procedures. Exclusion Criteria: * Participants who have a clinically relevant history of respiratory, gastrointestinal (GI), renal, hepatic, hematological, lymphatic, endocrinological, neurological, cardiovascular, psychiatric, musculoskeletal, genitourinary, immunological, dermatological, ophthalmological, or connective tissue diseases or disorders. * Participants who have a clinically relevant surgical history (for example, surgery of the GI tract that could interfere with the PK of the study medication). Note: prior appendectomy or cholecystectomy is not exclusionary. * Participants who have any known factor, condition, or disease that might interfere with treatment compliance, study conduct or interpretation of the results such as drug or alcohol dependence or psychiatric disease. * Participants who have acute GI symptoms at the time of Screening or admission to the CRU (for example, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, heartburn). * Participants whose results from clinical laboratory safety tests are outside the local reference range at Screening or on admission to the CRU. * Participants who have been dosed with any investigational drug or device in a clinical study within 30 days or 5 half-lives, or time determined by local requirements (whichever is longer) prior to admission to the CRU. * Male participants who do not agree to refrain from sperm donation from admission to the CRU to 90 days after the last dose of KT-621. * Male participants (and their partners of childbearing potential) and female participants who do not agree to the contraception requirements as specified in the clinical protocol. * Female participants who are pregnant, lactating, or breastfeeding, or plan to become pregnant during study participation or within 30 days of the last dose of KT-621. * Female participants with a positive or undetermined pregnancy result at the Screening visit or at admission to the CRU.
