About this study
Official title: A Phase 1 Food-Effect Study of 100 mg of Hezkue Turbo® (ASP-001.1, Sildenafil) Under Fed Versus 100 mg of Hezkue Turbo® (ASP-001.1, Sildenafil) Under Fasted Conditions in Healthy Adult Male Subjects
The objective of this phase 1 study is to evaluate the food effect of 100 mg Hezkue Turbo® (ASP-001.1, sildenafil) under fed versus 100 mg of Hezkue Turbo® (ASP-001.1, sildenafil) under fasted conditions in healthy adult male subjects
Read the detailed description
This is a Phase 1, open-label, single-center, two-period, two-treatment crossover study designed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), food effect, safety, and tolerability of ASP-001.1 (oral liquid suspension of sildenafil) under fed versus fasted conditions in healthy adult male participants. The crossover design ensures that each participant receives ASP-001.1 under both fed and fasted conditions, allowing for direct within-subject comparison of the pharmacokinetic parameters. The study aims to determine the effect of food on the absorption and bioavailability of ASP-001.1 and to assess its safety and tolerability, including the potential for oral irritation, dizziness, or headache.
Subjects will be randomly assigned to one of two sequences for the crossover study:
- Sequence 1: ASP-001.1 under fasted conditions in Treatment Period 1, followed by ASP-001.1 under fed conditions in Treatment Period 2.
- Sequence 2: ASP-001.1 under fed conditions in Treatment Period 1, followed by ASP-001.1 under fasted conditions in Treatment Period 2.
Randomization will occur after screening and prior to Treatment Period 1 dosing.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Cmax
The PK profile of ASP-001.1 in healthy male subjects under fasted vs fed conditions. Calculation of maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) over the specified timeframe.
Measured: Baseline and at 26 different timepoints during the 24 hour post-dose
AUCt
The PK of ASP-001.1 in healthy male subjects under fasted and fed conditions. The area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from zero to infinity (AUCi) will be calculated by adding the last quantifiable concentration (Ct)/ elimination rate contant (Kel) to AUCt.
Measured: Baseline and at 26 different timepoints during the 24 hour post-dose
Tmax
The PK of ASP-001.1 in healthy male subjects under fasted and fed conditions. Calculation of the time of the maximum measured plasma concentration (Tmax). If the maximum plasma concentration occurs at more than one time point, the first is chosen as Tmax.
Measured: Baseline and at 26 different timepoints during the 24 hour post-dose
Thalf
PK of ASP-001.1 in healthy male subjects under fasted and fed conditions. The half-life will be calculated by the equation tHalf = 0.693/ Kel. Apparent elimination half-life.
Measured: Baseline and at 26 different timepoints during the 24 hour post-dose
Kel
The PK of ASP-001.1 in healthy male subjects under fasted and fed conditions. Calculation of the terminal elimination rate constant obtained from the slope of the line, fitted by linear least squares regression, through the terminal points of the log (base e) of the concentration versus time plot for these timepoints.
Measured: Baseline and at 26 different timepoints during the 24 hour post-dose
Secondary outcomes (2)
Number of participants with oral irritation, dizziness, or headache
To determine the potential of ASP-001.1 to cause oral irritation, dizziness, or headache. Descriptive summaries (mean, standard deviation (SD), median, minimum, and maximum) of actual values and changes from baseline will be provided.
Measured: Baseline and different timepoints during the 24 hour post-dose
Number of participants with adverse events
The frequency and type of adverse events reported during the study.
Measured: Baseline and at several timepoints during the 24h post-dose

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing ASP-001.1 in people with Erectile Dysfunction, run by Aspargo Labs, Inc at 1 site in United States.
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 6 inclusion and 38 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Nov 2025. 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 United States. 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?
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?
Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Cmax (time frame: Baseline and at 26 different timepoints during the 24 hour post-dose). The study lists 5 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 19 Nov 2025.
