New lupus drug candidate ISH0613 enters first human safety trial

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Positive test results for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis C virus antibody (HCV-Ab), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody, or syphilis antibody; 5. Receipt of any surgical procedure within 6 months prior to signing the informed consent form, or planned surgery (including cosmetic, dental, or oral surgery) within 2 weeks after the end of the study; 6. Alcohol consumption exceeding 14 units per week within 3 months prior to screening (1 unit = 360 mL beer, 150 mL wine, or 45 mL liquor), or positive alcohol breath test at screening or baseline, or inability to abstain from alcohol during the study; 7. Average smoking of more than 5 cigarettes per day within 3 months prior to screening; 8. History of drug abuse, use of soft drugs (e.g., cannabis) within 3 months prior to screening, or use of hard drugs (e.g., cocaine, phencyclidine) within 1 year prior to screening, or positive drug abuse screening test (including morphine, ketamine, THC-COOH, methamphetamine, MDMA, cocaine); 9. Habitual excessive intake within 4 weeks prior to screening of caffeine-containing beverages or foods or substances that may affect drug metabolism, such as coffee (\>1100 mL/day), tea (\>2200 mL/day), cola (\>2200 mL/day), energy drinks (\>1100 mL/day), or chocolate (\>510 g/day); 10. Use of any prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, or traditional Chinese medicines within 14 days prior to dosing; 11. Receipt of any monoclonal antibody therapy within 6 months prior to dosing; 12. Vaccination within 3 months prior to dosing, or planned vaccination during the study period; 13. Participation in another clinical trial and receipt of investigational drug treatment within 3 months prior to dosing; 14. Blood donation or significant blood loss (\>400 mL, excluding menstrual loss) within 3 months prior to screening, or receipt of blood transfusion or blood products, or planned blood donation during the study period or within 1 month after study completion; 15. Pregnant or lactating women; 16. Clinically significant abnormal vital signs (systolic blood pressure \<90 mmHg or ≥140 mmHg; diastolic blood pressure \<55 mmHg or ≥90 mmHg; heart rate \<50 bpm or \>100 bpm; body temperature \<35.4°C or \>37.3°C), or clinically significant ECG abnormalities (QTcF \>450 ms for males, \>470 ms for females), or clinically significant findings on physical examination, as judged by the investigator; 17. Presence of infection requiring treatment for acute or chronic infection, including but not limited to: 1. Herpes zoster within 12 months prior to screening; 2. Current suppressive therapy for chronic infections (e.g., tuberculosis, Pneumocystis, cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex virus, varicella-zoster virus, or atypical mycobacteria); 3. History of tuberculosis or contact with active tuberculosis within 6 months prior to screening, or positive T-SPOT test; 4. Parasitic infection within 3 months prior to dosing; 5. Hospitalization due to infectious disease within 30 days prior to dosing; 6. Parenteral anti-infective treatment (including antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, or antiparasitic agents) within 30 days prior to dosing; 18. Any other condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, makes the subject unsuitable for participation in the study.
