About this study

Official title: Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Phase 1 Study to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, PK/PD of SAD, MAD and Food Effect of Leucettinib-21 in Healthy Male Subjects, and Single Dose in Subjects With Down Syndrome or Alzheimer's Disease

Leucettinib-21 First-in-Human Phase 1 Study in 6 Parts: Single (Part 1 and 5) and Multiple (Part 3 and 6) Ascending Doses, and Food-Effect (Part 2) in Healthy Subjects, and Single Dose (Part 4) in People with Down Syndrome (DS) and Alzheimer's Disease (AD).

For Parts 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6, safety and tolerability of an oral administration of Leucettinib-21 will be assessed as primary objectives. Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic biomarkers will be investigated as secondary objectives.

For Part 2, the effect of high fat meal will be evaluated on the pharmacokinetics parameters after an oral administration of Leucettinib-21.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Leucettinib-21 in people with Healthy Volunteers and Down Syndrome, run by Perha Pharmaceuticals at 1 site in France.

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 57 inclusion and 0 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 30 Jun 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 France. 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?

Part 1 : Safety and tolerability of Leucettinib-21 after single administration at 6 increasing doses in healthy male subjects. (time frame: Part 1 : Up to 8 days following administration). The study lists 6 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 30 Jun 2026.
