Summary
This early-stage trial is testing a new drug called ZL-1503 in healthy volunteers. The goal is to understand how the drug moves through the body, how safe it is, and how well people tolerate it after a single injection under the skin or into a vein. The study involves 36 healthy adults aged 18 to 65 and will help guide future research.
