About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of Single-and-Multiple-Ascending Subcutaneous Doses of DR10624

DR10624 is an Fc fusion protein tri-agonist with balanced glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R)/glucagon receptor (GCGR)/ fibroblast growth factor 21 receptor (FGF21R) agonizing activities. The objectives of the planned clinical investigation will be to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of single- and multiple-ascending doses of DR10624 via subcutaneous (SubQ) injection in a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study.

Read the detailed description

This study includes 2 parts( 1 and 2). Part 1 involves a single dose of DR10624 taken as a subcutaneous injection just under the skin. Part 2 involve multiple doses of DR10624 taken as a subcutaneous injection (SC) just under the skin. Each participant will enroll in only one part.

    Measured: from baseline to D79(part 2)

  22. Change in Fibrosis 4 Index

    Change in Fibrosis 4 Index from baseline. Fibrosis 4 Index (FIB-4) is a continuous calculated score for liver fibrosis staging, derived from the formula: FIB-4 = (age [years] × AST [U/L]) / (platelet count [10^9/L] × √ALT [U/L]), which can be used to identify patients with a low probability of advanced fibrosis. The theoretical minimum value is 0, and there is no predefined maximum value (the score is open-ended). Lower values indicate a lower probability of advanced liver fibrosis, representing a better outcome. For clinical interpretation, commonly used cutoff values are as follows: FIB-4 < 1.3: low probability of advanced liver fibrosis (better outcome); 1.3 ≤ FIB-4 < 3.25: indeterminate fibrosis stage; FIB-4 ≥ 3.25: high probability of advanced liver fibrosis (worse outcome).

    Measured: from baseline to D85(part 2)

  23. Change in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Fibrosis Score

    The Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Fibrosis Score (NFS) is a derived non-invasive fibrosis score calculated as -1.675 + 0.037 × age (year) + 0.094 × BMI (kg/m^2) + 1.13 × impaired fasting glucose or diabetes (yes=1, no=0) + 0.99 × AST/ALT ratio - 0.013 × platelet count (×10^9/L) - 0.66 × albumin (g/dL). This score does not have a fixed theoretical minimum or maximum; higher values indicate greater likelihood of advanced fibrosis

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing DR10624 for injection in people with Healthy, Obesity, Metabolically, run by Zhejiang Doer Biologics Co., Ltd. at 1 site in New Zealand.

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 13 inclusion and 26 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 19 Oct 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 New Zealand. 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 19 Oct 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?

Assess the Safety and Tolerability (time frame: Baseline through Day 29 (Part 1 & Part 3); Pre-final dose on Day 78 through Day 106 (Part 2)). 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 19 Oct 2026.
