NCT ID NCT02956525
First seen Sep 09, 2026 · Last updated Sep 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers are running a Phase 1 trial to check the safety of 200 mg dexibuprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, in healthy adults. The study enrolls 52 men and women aged 18 to 50 with a healthy body weight. Participants receive single and multiple oral doses while fasting or after a meal, and researchers track side effects and how the body processes the drug.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- dexibuprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug
- What this could lead to
- If the drug behaves safely and predictably, this could support its use as a pain and inflammation treatment in broader patient groups.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study in healthy volunteers, so it cannot show whether the drug works for any condition. Side effects such as stomach upset or kidney changes may appear, and results may not apply to people who are sick or taking other medicines.
