About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Open-Label, Crossover Phase 1 Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Relative Bioavailability and Food Effect of a New Formulation of HBW-3220 Capsules in Healthy Participants

This Phase 1 study will evaluate a new formulation of HBW-3220 capsules in healthy adults. It will compare how much and how quickly HBW-3220 enters the bloodstream after a single 120 mg dose of the new formulation versus the previous formulation under fasting conditions, and after the new formulation is taken under fed versus fasting conditions. Twenty-one participants will be randomly assigned to one of three treatment sequences and will receive all three treatments during three study periods, with at least 7 days between doses. Blood samples will be collected for pharmacokinetic analysis, and safety and tolerability will be assessed throughout the study and during follow-up.

Read the detailed description

HBW-3220 is a reversible Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor. This is a randomized, open-label, three-period, three-sequence crossover Phase 1 study in 21 healthy adult participants.

Participants will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to one of three treatment sequences. During each study period, participants will receive a single 120 mg oral dose of one of the following treatments: the previous formulation of HBW-3220 capsules under fasting conditions, the new formulation under fasting conditions, or the new formulation after a high-fat, high-calorie meal. Each participant will receive all three treatments, with a washout period of at least 7 days between doses.

Blood samples for pharmacokinetic assessment will be collected before dosing and through 72 hours after each dose. The primary pharmacokinetic parameters include maximum plasma concentration (Cmax), area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to the last measurable concentration (AUC0-t), and area under the curve extrapolated to infinity (AUC0-inf). Relative bioavailability will be assessed by comparing the new and previous formulations under fasting conditions. The effect of food will be assessed by comparing the new formulation under fed and fasting conditions.

Safety and tolerability will be evaluated using adverse events, vital signs, physical examinations, clinical laboratory tests, and 12-lead electrocardiograms. A safety follow-up will be conducted 10 ± 2 days after the last dose.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of HBW-3220

    Maximum observed plasma concentration of HBW-3220 will be calculated from plasma concentration-time data using noncompartmental analysis. Cmax will be compared between the new and old formulations under fasting conditions and between the fed and fasting conditions for the new formulation.

    Measured: Predose and 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours after dosing in each of the three treatment periods

  2. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to the Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUC0-t) of HBW-3220

    AUC0-t of HBW-3220 will be calculated from plasma concentration-time data using noncompartmental analysis. AUC0-t will be compared between the new and old formulations under fasting conditions and between the fed and fasting conditions for the new formulation.

    Measured: Predose through 72 hours after dosing in each of the three treatment periods

  3. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Infinity (AUC0-inf) of HBW-3220

    AUC0-inf of HBW-3220 will be calculated from plasma concentration-time data using noncompartmental analysis. AUC0-inf will be compared between the new and old formulations under fasting conditions and between the fed and fasting conditions for the new formulation.

    Measured: Predose through 72 hours after dosing in each of the three treatment periods

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing HBW-3220 Old Formulation Under Fasting Conditions, HBW-3220 New Formulation Under Fasting Conditions and HBW-3220 New Formulation Under Fed Conditions in people with Healthy Volunteers, run by The Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University.

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 20 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of HBW-3220 (time frame: Predose and 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours after dosing in each of the three treatment periods). The study lists 3 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 2 Sep 2026.
