Study groups in NCT05483998
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Part A: Single Ascending Dose (SAD)ExperimentalPart A will be comprised of up to 50 participants over 5 cohorts of 10. Each participant will receive a single oral dose of TLC-2716 or placebo at different dose levels (1 cohort per dose level).
Receives: Drug: TLC-2716; Other: Placebo
Part B: Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD)ExperimentalPart B will be comprised of up to 50 healthy participants over 5 cohorts of 10. Each participant will receive 14 oral doses of TLC-2716 or placebo over 14 days (given once daily) at different dose levels (1 cohort per dose level).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing TLC-2716 in people with Healthy Subjects, run by OrsoBio, Inc 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 9 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 May 2024. 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. 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?

Number of subjects with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) in single ascending dose (SAD) compared to placebo (time frame: Up to Day 15). The study lists 8 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05483998, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 20 May 2024.
