NCT ID NCT07355621
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-stage trial tested the safety and tolerability of a new drug, UP-818-CC, in 73 healthy Chinese volunteers. Participants received either a single dose or multiple daily doses of the drug or a placebo. The main goal was to check for side effects and measure how the drug moves through the body.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- UP-818-CC injection
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could pave the way for future studies testing UP-818-CC as a potential treatment for an unspecified condition.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 1 safety study in healthy people, so it cannot show whether the drug works for any disease. Side effects may emerge.
