About this study

Official title: A First-in-human, Randomised, Single Ascending Dose Trial Assessing Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of ZP8396 Administered to Healthy Subjects

The research study will investigate the safety and tolerability of ZP8396 in healthy study participants. In addition, the study will investigate how ZP8396 works in the body (pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics).

Participants will receive 1 single dose either as an injection under the skin (subcutaneous, s.c.) or an injection into a vein of one arm (intravenous, i.v.).

Participants will have 9 visits with the study team. One of these visits consists of 8 overnight stays at the study site. For each participant, the study will last up to 66 days.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ZP8396Drug

    Participants will receive 1 single dose of ZP8396 given subcutaneously (s.c., under the skin) or intravenously (i.v., in a vein of the arm). Dose level will depend on the cohort.

  • Placebo (ZP8396)Drug

    Participants will receive 1 single dose of placebo given subcutaneously (s.c., under the skin) or intravenously (i.v., in a vein of the arm).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing ZP8396 in people with Overweight and Healthy Volunteers, run by Zealand Pharma at 1 site in Germany.

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 4 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 17 Jan 2023. 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 Germany. 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?

Incidence of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) (time frame: From dosing (Day 1) to end of trial (Day 50)). 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 17 Jan 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 30 Oct 2026.
