This trial adopts a single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation design to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of HEC-007 Injection after single-dose administration in healthy subjects and multiple-dose administration in overweight or obese subjects.

The trial consists of two parts: Part A is a single ascending dose (SAD) study, planning to enroll 54 Chinese healthy subjects; Part B is a multiple ascending dose (MAD) study, planning to enroll 72 Chinese overweight or obese subjects.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing HEC-007 injection in people with Healthy Subjects, 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 12 inclusion and 78 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 27 Apr 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 Wei Hu, Doctor of Medicine (+8613856086475, ayefygcp@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Adverse events (AEs) (time frame: Screening period up to day 43/day 113). The study lists 12 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 27 Apr 2026.
