About this study

Official title: A SINGLE CENTER, 5-PART, RANDOMIZED, DOUBLE-BLIND AND PLACEBO-CONTROLLED (Parts 1, 4, 5), OPEN-LABEL AND CROSSOVER (Parts 2, 3) STUDY TO INVESTIGATE THE SAFETY, TOLERABILITY AND PHARMACOKINETICS OF SINGLE AND MULTIPLE ASCENDING DOSES (Parts 1, 4), AND SINGLE DOSES (Parts 2, 3, 5), OF GAL-101 SALT IN HEALTHY ADULT AND ELDERLY PARTICIPANTS

This first-in-human Phase 1 study evaluated the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of GAL-101 salt following oral administration to healthy adult and elderly participants. A total of 92 participants were enrolled at a single study center.

The study consisted of five parts. Part 1 evaluated single ascending doses of enteric-coated GAL-101 capsules compared with placebo in healthy adults. Part 2 compared a single dose of enteric-coated GAL-101 capsules with uncoated GAL-101 salt mixed with apple sauce in an open-label crossover design. Part 3 evaluated the effect of fasting, a standard meal, and a high-fat, high-calorie meal on the pharmacokinetics of a single dose of uncoated GAL-101 salt in an open-label crossover design. Part 4 evaluated multiple ascending doses of uncoated GAL-101 salt administered once daily for 7 days compared with placebo. Part 5 evaluated the pharmacokinetics of a single dose of uncoated GAL-101 salt compared with placebo in healthy elderly participants aged 65 to 85 years.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events

    Treatment-emergent adverse events, serious adverse events, adverse events of special interest, and dose-limiting toxicities were assessed after administration of GAL-101 salt or placebo. Events were evaluated by severity and relationship to the study intervention.

    Measured: From the first dose through 28 days after the participant's last dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Uncoated GAL-101 Salt 1170 mg, Enteric-Coated Capsules 195 mg and Enteric-Coated Capsules 390 mg in people with Healthy Adult Participants, run by Galimedix Therapeutics Inc at 1 site in South Africa.

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 10 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Aug 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 Africa. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (time frame: From the first dose through 28 days after the participant's 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 26 Aug 2026.
