About this study
Official title: A Phase 1a Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Single Site, Single Ascending Dose Study of the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Kindolor Tosylate in Healthy Adults
The goal of this study is to test Kindolor in healthy adults. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- What is the safe dose of Kindolor in healthy volunteers?
- How is Kindolor metabolized by the human body?
Participants will undergo medical tests before and after receiving Kindolor or a placebo to see if there is any difference between the groups.
Read the detailed description
Eligible participants will undergo intake procedures and baseline evaluations at the clinic the day before dosing. The next day, participants will be randomized to, and receive, either Kindolor tablets or placebo tablets (4 cohorts of escalating doses of Kindolor with 6 Kindolor participants and 2 placebo participants in each cohort). Participants will remain in the clinic for at least an additional 48-hours for safety assessments and blood collections to determine plasma levels of Kindolor, then will be discharged from the clinic and return for follow-up safety tests 7 days later.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing Kindolor Tosylate in people with Chronic Pain, run by Lohocla Research Corporation at 1 site in United States.
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 22 inclusion and 44 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 May 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. 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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 May 2026). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) (time frame: From Day 1 to Day 7). 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 27 May 2026.
