Can a single injection of SYH2082 help tackle obesity? a first-in-human trial puts safety to the test.
NCT ID NCT07736404
First seen Jul 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This Phase 1 trial tests whether a single dose of an experimental drug called SYH2082 is safe and tolerable in healthy adults aged 18 to 55 who are overweight or have obesity. Participants receive either the drug or a placebo injection, and researchers monitor for side effects and how the drug moves through the body. The goal is to gather early safety data before moving to larger studies.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- an experimental injection called SYH2082
- What this could lead to
- If safe, this could lead to a new treatment option for weight loss in people with overweight or obesity.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 1 trial with only 50 healthy participants, so safety and effectiveness are not yet known. Side effects may occur.

Inclusion Criteria: * Fully understands the content, procedures, and possible adverse reactions of the study, and voluntarily signs the ICF before the study; * At screening, age 18-55 years (inclusive, at the time of signing the ICF), male or female; * At screening, body weight ≥50 kg for males and ≥45 kg for females; body mass index (BMI) between 19.0 and 35.0 kg/m2 (inclusive); * Body weight change ≤5% within 3 months prior to screening (including the screening period); * From the time of signing the ICF until 6 months after the last dose, the participant (including their partner) has no plans for childbirth and agrees to use highly effective contraceptive measures; Exclusion Criteria: * Known or suspected allergy to glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) or Glucose dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonists or any component of the investigational product; or has an allergic constitution (allergic to multiple drugs and foods); * Abnormal results in vital signs, physical examination, laboratory tests, chest X-ray, ultrasound and ECG that are judged by the investigator to be clinically significant within the screening period. Specifically, the following conditions are not excluded: 1)Systolic blood pressure (SBP) \< 160 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure (DBP) \< 100 mmHg;2)Fasting TG ≤ 3.42 mmol/L, fasting TC ≤ 7.75 mmol/L(with abnormal HDL-C regardless of LDL-C status); 3)Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) \< 2 × ULN, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) \< 2 × ULN, gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) \< 2.5 × ULN, and total bilirubin (TBIL) \< 1.5 × ULN.4) Blood uric acid \<480 μmol/L and never accompanied by physiological abnormalities (gout, etc.); 5) Ultrasound shows fatty liver and excludes causes * Meet any of the following at screening: (1) HbA1c \> upper limit of normal, or fasting blood glucose ≤ 3.9 mmol/L or ≥ 6.1 mmol/L; (2) Calcitonin ≥ 50 ng/L; (3) eGFR \< 90 mL/min/1.73m 2; (4) TSH exceeds the normal reference range; 4) Patients with prolonged QT/QTc interval at screening (QTcF \> 450 ms), or have a history of risk factors for torsades de pointes (such as family history of heart failure/cardiomyopathy or long QT syndrome), or are taking concomitant medications that prolong the QT/QTc interval; * Those who are positive for any of hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis C virus antibody, human immunodeficiency virus antibody, and Treponema pallidum antibody; * History or presence of major cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urinary, hematological, endocrine, immune or nervous system diseases; * Subjects with severe trauma or major surgery within 6 months prior to screening, or planned to undergo surgery during the trial; * Patients with thyroid nodules diagnosed as C-TIRADS category 3 or above in the past or during the screening period; * Personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or history of pancreatitis or acute or chronic gallbladder disease; * Those with a history of malignant tumors, mental illness, depression, anxiety, or epilepsy; * History of clinical gastric emptying abnormalities (such as gastric outlet obstruction), severe chronic gastrointestinal diseases (such as inflammatory bowel disease, active ulcer); * Previous gastrointestinal surgery leading to malabsorption, or long-term use of drugs that have a direct effect on gastrointestinal motility. e.g., bariatric surgery or procedures (e.g., gastric banding), or use of GLP-1 or GIP receptor agonists or drugs or products that, in the opinion of the investigator, may cause weight change and affect weight assessment within 3 months prior to screening. * Those who have symptoms such as dermatitis or skin abnormalities at and around the administration site; * Use of any prescription drugs, over-the-counter drugs, or Chinese herbal medicines within 2 weeks before screening, or less than 5 half-lives since the last dose of the above-mentioned drugs; * Use of drugs that may affect glucose metabolism (e.g., systemic steroids, non-selective beta-blockers, monoamine oxidase inhibitors) within 1 month before screening, or less than 5 half-lives since the last dose of the above-mentioned drugs (whichever is longer);
