NCT ID NCT07754279
First seen Aug 10, 2026 · Last updated Aug 11, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-stage trial is testing whether an experimental drug called MMH-522 is safe and tolerable for healthy people. About 16 volunteers aged 18 to 45 will take the tablet daily for 7 days, and researchers will monitor them for any side effects. The goal is to gather initial safety information to support future studies of the drug, which may eventually be developed as a treatment for cough.

- Active substance
- MMH-522 (an experimental drug taken as a tablet that dissolves in the mouth)
- What this could lead to
- If MMH-522 proves safe, it could pave the way for larger studies to see if it helps with cough or other conditions.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early, small study in healthy people, so it won't show if the drug works for cough. Side effects are possible, and the drug may not be effective in future trials.
