New IBD drug takes first step: safety check in healthy volunteers
NCT ID NCT07423000
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-stage study tests a new drug called PVT401 in 36 healthy volunteers to see if it is safe and how the body handles it. Participants receive either the drug or a placebo by IV, either as a single dose or multiple doses over five weeks. The goal is to gather safety data before testing the drug in people with inflammatory bowel disease.
