New drug ME3241 enters first human safety tests
NCT ID NCT07422207
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-stage trial is testing a new drug called ME3241 in 104 healthy adults to see if it is safe and how the body handles it. Participants will receive either the drug or a placebo by infusion, and researchers will monitor for side effects and measure drug levels in the blood. The study is not looking for a treatment effect, but rather gathering essential safety data before any future disease-focused trials.

- Active substance
- ME3241
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early phase 1 trial in healthy volunteers, so it is not designed to test if ME3241 works for any disease. The drug may prove unsafe or ineffective in later studies.
