About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Multiple Doses, Dose-escalation Phase 1 Clinical Trial to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of SRN001 in Healthy Korean and Caucasian Adult Males

To evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of repeated doses of SRN001 in healthy adult volunteers.

Read the detailed description

SRN001 is a novel small interfering RNA (siRNA) drug being developed to treat fibrosis using Self Assembled Micelle inhibitory ribonucleic acid (SAMiRNA™) technology. Amphiregulin (AREG) is a growth factor involved in fibroblast proliferation and myofibroblast transformation which is the hallmark of fibrosis in lung and kidney tissues. AREG is a downstream gene overexpressed by Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) during fibrosis, promoting fibroblast to myofibroblast transition (FMT). SRN001 is designed to downregulate generating amphiregulin by RNA interference (RNAi). The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of SRN001 in healthy Korean and Caucasian adult males.

SRN001, 0.9% sodium chloride (normal saline)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing SRN001 and 0.9% sodium chloride (normal saline) in people with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, run by siRNAgen Therapeutics Inc. at 1 site in South Korea.

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 5 inclusion and 27 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 12 Feb 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 South Korea. 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 Eunkyeong Woo (+82-42-930-8654, wek@sirnagen.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) (time frame: From first dose through end of study (up to 114 days)). The study lists 18 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 NCT07407543, 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 12 Feb 2026.
