New drug SRN001 takes first step toward fighting lung scarring
NCT ID NCT07407543
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This Phase 1 trial tests the safety and tolerability of an investigational drug called SRN001 in 30 healthy Korean and Caucasian men. Participants receive either SRN001 or a placebo to see how the drug moves through the body and whether it causes side effects. The goal is to gather early safety data that could support future studies in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a serious lung-scarring disease.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- SRN001
- What this could lead to
- If this early trial shows SRN001 is safe, it could pave the way for future studies testing it as a treatment for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early Phase 1 trial in only 30 healthy volunteers, not patients with the disease. It is designed to check safety, not effectiveness, so there is no guarantee SRN001 will work for pulmonary fibrosis.
Why investors are watching
OliX Pharmaceuticals, through its SirnaGen Therapeutics unit, is running a phase 1 trial of SRN001, a drug given in repeated doses to healthy men. The trial checks safety, tolerability, and how the body processes the drug. For a micro-cap company, this early readout matters because it is the first test of whether SRN001 is safe enough to move forward.
If it works: A clean safety result could let OliX advance SRN001 to later trials, which would validate the drug's potential and give the company a more mature pipeline. That progress could attract partners or funding for further development.
If it fails: Phase 1 trials often fail on safety or dosing issues, and a problem here could delay or end SRN001's development. For a small company with few assets, that setback would be a major blow to its pipeline and prospects.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Healthy Korean or Caucasian male volunteers aged 19 to 60 years at the time of screening. 2. Those who weighed 50.0 kg or more at the time of screening and had a body mass index (BMI) between 18.5 kg/m2 and 29.9 kg/m2. Body mass index (BMI, kg/m2) = weight (kg) / {height (m2)} 2 3. Those whose screening results showed a serum amphiregulin concentration of 100 pg/mL or higher. 4. Those who voluntarily agreed to participate in this clinical trial after receiving a thorough explanation and fully understanding the clinical trial. Those who decided to participate and gave written consent to comply with the precautions. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Those with or have a history of clinically significant diseases of the hepatobiliary system (severe liver failure, viral hepatitis, etc.), kidney (severe renal failure, etc.), nervous system, immune system, respiratory system, digestive system, endocrine system, hematological/oncological system, cardiovascular system (heart failure, torsades de pointes, etc.), urinary system, psychiatric system (mood disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, etc.), or sexual dysfunction. 2. Those with a history of hypersensitivity to RNA drugs or other drugs (aspirin, antibiotics, etc.) or a history of clinically significant hypersensitivity reactions (atopy, asthma, etc.). 3. Those with a positive serum test result (hepatitis B test, hepatitis C test, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) test, syphilis test). 4. Those with a history of drug abuse or a positive urine drug screening test for drugs of abuse. 5. Those who were screened in a sitting position after resting for at least 3 minutes. Those who exhibited the following values in measured vital signs: * Systolic blood pressure \< 80 mmHg or ≥ 140 mmHg * Diastolic blood pressure \< 45 mmHg or ≥ 90 mmHg * Pulse \< 45 bpm or \> 100 bpm * Body temperature \< 35.5 ℃ or \> 37.7 ℃ 6. Those who exhibited the following values or clinically significant abnormal rhythm findings on the electrocardiogram (12-lead ECG) during the screening test: -QTcF \> 450 msec 7. Those who exhibited one or more of the following results in clinical laboratory tests during the screening test, including additional tests: * AST (SGOT) or ALT (SGPT) \> 60 IU/L * Estimated glomerular filtration rate (CKD-EPI equation) \< 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 8. Those who have taken any prescription drugs or herbal medicines within two weeks prior to the scheduled first administration of the investigational drug, or have taken any over-the-counter drugs, health functional foods including liver function supplements, or vitamin preparations within one week (however, at the investigator's discretion, subjects may be selected as subjects if other conditions are appropriate) or are expected to take such drugs. 9. Those who have taken drug-metabolizing enzyme inducers such as barbiturates or drug metabolism inhibitors such as clarithromycin within one month prior to the scheduled first administration of the investigational drug. 10. Those who have participated in another clinical trial (including bioequivalence trials) and received the investigational drug within six months prior to the scheduled first administration of the investigational drug. 11. Those who have donated whole blood within two months prior to the scheduled first administration of the investigational drug, or have donated blood components within one month prior to the scheduled first administration of the investigational drug, or have received a blood transfusion. 12. Smokers (however, subjects may be selected as subjects if they quit smoking three months prior to the scheduled first administration of the investigational drug) or those who are unable to quit smoking until the completion of the clinical trial. 13. Those who have continuously consumed alcohol (21 units/week, 1 unit = 10 g of pure alcohol) or cannot abstain from alcohol from 3 days before the scheduled first dose of the investigational drug until the end of the clinical trial. 14. Those who have continuously consumed excessive caffeine (more than 5 units/day, 1 unit = 80 mg of caffeine) or cannot abstain from consuming caffeinated foods and beverages (coffee, tea (black tea, green tea, etc.), carbonated beverages, coffee drinks, coffee milk, tonic drinks, energy drinks, etc.) from 3 days before the scheduled first dose of the investigational drug until the end of the clinical trial. 15.
