About this study

Official title: A Dose-block Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Single and Multiple Dosing, Dose-escalation Phase I Clinical Trial to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Characteristics, and Food Effect of HSG4112 After Oral Administration in Healthy and Obese Male Subjects

  1. Study Objective: The objective of this phase 1 clinical trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic characteristics and food effect of HSG4112 after oral administration in healthy male subjects.
  2. Study Design and Plan: This study is a dose-block randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single and multiple dosing, dose-escalation phase 1 clinical trial. A unique randomization number will be assigned to each subject deemed eligible to participate in the study based on the inclusion/exclusion criteria. Each subject will be randomized to one of the six groups for the single ascending dose (SAD) study or one of the three groups for the multiple ascending dose (MAD) study. Each dose group will consist of ten subjects, and among the ten subjects, eight subjects will be randomized to receive HSG4112 and two subjects will be randomized to receive placebo. The subjects will be studied in a double-blind manner and will receive the investigational product (i.e., HSG4112 or placebo) via once-daily oral administration. The dosing duration for the MAD study is 14 days. When escalating the dose, the Investigator will review all of the available safety data from the preceding dose in a blinded manner to ensure if it is safe to escalate the dose. In order to evaluate safety and tolerability, assessments, such as vital signs, 12-lead electrocardiogram, laboratory test, semen analysis (MAD study only), physical examination, and adverse event monitoring will be performed. Blood samples will be collected to evaluate the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic characteristics of HSG4112.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing HSG4112 in people with Obesity, run by Glaceum at 2 sites in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 23 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Nov 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pharmacokinetic Assessment by Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve of HSG4112 Over Dosing Interval (time frame: Hour 0 to 24). The study lists 19 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Nov 2021.
