New asthma drug candidate passes early safety check in healthy volunteers
NCT ID NCT05991661
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested an experimental drug called XKH001 in 24 healthy adults to see if it is safe and how the body processes it. Participants received either the drug or a placebo by injection. The goal was to check for side effects and measure drug levels in the blood, not to treat asthma. This is an early step before testing the drug in people with asthma.
