First seen Jun 29, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This early-stage trial tests whether a new ointment called YR001 is safe and tolerable when applied to the skin of healthy Chinese adults. The ointment contains a substance that blocks a specific potassium channel involved in immune cell activity. Researchers compare the active ointment to a placebo to check for side effects and measure how much of the drug enters the bloodstream. The study involves 18 participants and lasts about 30 days.
