Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 45 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Subjects should understand and abide by the research procedures, volunteer to participate, and sign the informed consent form.
  • When signing the informed consent form, subjects should be between 18 and 45 years old (including the boundary values), and both genders are eligible.
  • Male subjects should weigh ≥ 50.0 kg, and female subjects should weigh ≥ 45.0 kg. For the single - dose trial, the body mass index [BMI = weight (kg) / height² (m²)] should be within the range of 18.0 - 28.0 kg/m² (including the boundary values). For the multiple - dose trial, the BMI should be within the range of 18.0 - 30.0 kg/m² (including the boundary values).
  • Subjects enrolled in the MAD (Multiple - Ascending - Dose) trial should also meet the requirement that 2.6 mmol/L (100 mg/dL) ≤ LDL - C < 4.1 mmol/L (160 mg/dL).
  • The results of vital signs, physical examinations, clinical laboratory tests, electrocardiograms, chest X - rays (posteroanterior view), abdominal color Doppler ultrasounds, etc. should be normal, or if judged as abnormal by the investigator, they should be of no clinical significance.
  • Subjects (including their partners) should voluntarily adopt effective contraceptive measures from the screening stage until 3 months after the last drug administration, and should have no plans for sperm or egg donation.

Who cannot join

  • Subjects had clinically significant diseases as follows (including but not limited to gastrointestinal, renal, hepatic, neurological, hematological, endocrine, neoplastic, pulmonary, immunological, mental, or cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases) before screening.
  • Subjects with allergic constitution (allergic to multiple drugs or foods).
  • Subjects who smoked more than 5 cigarettes per day on average within 3 months before screening, or smoked within 48 hours before taking the investigational product, or could not stop using any tobacco products during the trial.
  • Subjects had a history of dysphagia before screening, or had a history of gastrointestinal, hepatic, or renal diseases or surgeries that potentially affect the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of the investigational product (except uncomplicated appendectomy and hernia repair).
  • Subjects had a history of alcoholism within 1 year before screening (consuming 14 units of alcohol per week: 1 unit = 285 mL of beer, or 25 mL of spirits, or 100 mL of wine), or had a positive alcohol breath test during the screening period.
  • Subjects had a history of drug abuse or used drugs within 2 years before screening, or had a positive urine drug screening during the screening period.
Show all 21Show fewer
  • Subjects donated blood or lost blood ≥ 400 mL within 3 months before screening, or planned to donate blood within 1 month after the end of the trial.
  • Subjects had a history of thyroid diseases, or the thyroid - stimulating hormone (TSH) index in the thyroid function test during the screening period was beyond the normal range.
  • Subjects had a corrected QT interval (QTcF = QT/RR0.33 calculated by the Fridericia formula) of the 12 - lead electrocardiogram > 450 ms during screening.
  • Subjects had a glomerular filtration rate < 90 mL/min (the glomerular filtration rate is calculated using the simplified MDRD formula: for men, eGFR = 186 × creatinine (mg/dL)-1.154 × age - 0.203; for women, eGFR = 186 × creatinine (mg/dL)-1.154 × age - 0.203 × 0.742). Note: The unit of creatinine in the formula is mg/dL. When calculating, the creatinine result in μmol/L needs to be converted to mg/dL, and 1 μmol/L = 0.01131 mg/dL.

  • Lactating or pregnant women, or women of child - bearing potential with a positive pregnancy test.
  • Subjects participated in other clinical trials within 3 months before screening (if the subject withdrew from the study before treatment, that is, was not randomized or did not receive treatment, they can be enrolled in this study).
  • Subjects tested positive for any one of hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis C virus antibody, human immunodeficiency virus antibody, or treponema pallidum antibody.
  • Subjects had special dietary requirements and could not accept the unified diet.
  • Subjects with other factors that, in the investigator's opinion, make them inappropriate to participate in this trial.

About this study

Official title: A Phase I Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics of Single and Multiple Doses of HEC169584 Capsules and the Effect of Food on Its Pharmacokinetics in Healthy Subjects

The safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) characteristics study of HEC169584 capsules in healthy subjects .

Read the detailed description

This trial adopts a single - center, randomized, double - blind, placebo - controlled, dose - escalation trial design.

This trial is divided into two parts. The first part consists of a single - ascending - dose (SAD) trial and a food - effect (FE) trial. The second part is a multiple - ascending - dose (MAD) tria.

Screening will be conducted within 28 days prior to the first drug administration. After all test results are obtained, inclusion and exclusion criteria will be verified. Eligible subjects will be admitted to the research center one day before drug administration (D - 1). Researchers will assign random numbers to eligible subjects of the same dose group in ascending order according to their screening numbers, and conduct relevant examinations and collect blood, urine, and fecal samples (if necessary) at the time points specified in the protocol.

Being tested
HEC169584 capsule, placebo

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing HEC169584 capsule in people with Non - Alcoholic Steatohepatitis, run by Sunshine Lake Pharma Co., Ltd. at 1 site in China.

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 21 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 4 Sep 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 China. 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?

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?

Contact DongYong Liu, doctor (86+18610966092, liudongyang@vip.sina.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Adverse event (time frame: up to 27 days). 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 4 Sep 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
