Kratom compound MG001 enters first human safety trial

NCT ID NCT07204171

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study is the first time MG001, a formulation of mitragynine from the kratom plant, is being tested in people. Researchers want to see if it is safe and how the body processes it. About 32 healthy adults who have used oral opioids recently will receive a single dose of MG001 or a placebo and be monitored closely for several days. This early-phase trial focuses only on safety, not on treating any condition.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could pave the way for larger studies exploring MG001 as a potential treatment for opioid withdrawal symptoms.

What could go wrong

This is a very early Phase 1 safety study with only 32 people. It is not designed to test effectiveness, and the results may not lead to any approved treatment.
