About this study

Official title: A Phase Ⅰ Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, First-in-human Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics and Immunogenicity of BY002 in Healthy Participants

The objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of BY002 in healthy subjects.

Investigators will compare BY002 to a placebo (a pharmacologically inactive substance) to assess the safety and tolerability of BY002 in healthy subjects.

Participants will undergo:

  1. Single/multiple subcutaneous (SC) administrations of BY002/placebo
  2. A 7-day safety follow-up period following the last dose
Read the detailed description

This first-in-human (FIH), randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 1 study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and immunogenicity of BY002 (an investigational, bispecific tandem VHH antibody targeting the CGRP receptor) in healthy adult subjects. This Phase 1 study consists of two parts: a Single Ascending Dose (SAD) study and a Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) study. Furthermore, both the SAD and MAD studies incorporate a capsaicin challenge test to assess the inhibitory effect of BY002 on capsaicin-induced elevation of dermal blood flow (DBF), serving as a PD marker for CGRP receptor antagonism.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • BY002Drug

    BY002, administered via subcutaneous (SC) injection as single or multiple doses according to the clinical trial protocol.

  • PlaceboDrug

    Placebo, administered via subcutaneous (SC) injection as single or multiple doses according to the clinical trial protocol.

Capsaicin challenge test-placeboPlacebo comparatorDuring the SAD/MAD dose escalation phase, based on accumulated safety and pharmacokinetic (PK) data, the SRC will decide whether to initiate the capsaicin challenge test (conducting the single-dose and multiple-dose capsaicin challenge tests, respectively) and select the dose cohorts. Eight healthy participants will be randomized into each cohort, of whom 6 will receive the selected dose of BY002 and 2 will receive a placebo.
Receives: Drug: Placebo
Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD)-placeboPlacebo comparatorBased on the safety, tolerability, PK, PD, and other data obtained from the SAD study, 2-3 doses will be selected during the SAD dose escalation phase for further evaluation in the MAD study. Each cohort is planned to enroll 8 healthy participants, who will be randomized to the BY002 or placebo group in a 3:1 ratio.
Receives: Drug: Placebo
Single Ascending Dose (SAD)-placeboPlacebo comparatorThe SAD study will consist of 6 dose cohorts (10 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg, 150 mg, and 200 mg), with a planned enrollment of 48 healthy participants who will be randomized to the BY002 or placebo group in a 3:1 ratio. The SAD study will initiate with the lowest dose cohort and proceed sequentially. In each dose cohort, 8 healthy participants will be randomized in a double-blind manner, of whom 6 will receive BY002 and 2 will receive a placebo. A sentinel dosing strategy will be utilized for each dose cohort, whereby 2 participants will be enrolled first to receive a subcutaneous injection of BY002 or placebo. At least 24 hours post-dose, if safety is confirmed by the investigator, the remaining participants in the same dose-level cohort may proceed with enrollment and receive the investigational product according to the study design and methodology.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing BY002 in people with Healthy Participants Study, run by First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University 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 16 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 10 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 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 Jian Liu (0571-87236560, lindaliu87@zju.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of adverse events (AEs), injection site reactions (ISRs), and serious adverse events (SAEs). [Safety and Tolerability] (time frame: 7 days after the last dose). 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 10 Jun 2026.
