About this study

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-ascending-dose study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, and pharmacodynamics of SAL0195 injection in participants with or without elevated lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)]. Approximately 40 male and female participants aged 18 to 65 years will be enrolled across five planned dose cohorts. Participants will receive a single subcutaneous dose of SAL0195 or matching placebo.

Read the detailed description

This Phase 1 study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, and pharmacodynamics of a single subcutaneous dose of SAL0195 injection in participants with or without elevated lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)]. The relationship between SAL0195 plasma concentrations and QTc will also be explored, and metabolites in blood and urine will be characterized in selected dose cohorts.

The study uses a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, sequential single-ascending-dose design. Five dose levels are planned: 30 mg, 100 mg, 300 mg, 600 mg, and an optional 900 mg dose. Each dose cohort will enroll approximately 8 participants randomized in a 3:1 ratio to SAL0195 or placebo.

In the 30 mg cohort, approximately 4 participants without elevated Lp(a) and 4 participants with elevated Lp(a) will be enrolled. Randomization will be stratified by Lp(a) status, with participants within each stratum randomized in a 3:1 ratio to SAL0195 or placebo. The remaining dose cohorts will enroll participants with elevated Lp(a) and will use block randomization in a 3:1 ratio.

Each participant will receive only one dose level. Dose escalation will proceed sequentially from the lowest dose after review of available safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic data from the preceding cohort. Participants will be followed through Day 85. Participants whose Lp(a) level remains below 60% of baseline at Day 85 will enter an extended follow-up period with visits every 28 days until Lp(a) returns to at least 60% of baseline, the participant reaches approximately 52 weeks after dosing, or the participant withdraws or is lost to follow-up, whichever occurs first.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing SAL0195 Injection 30 mg, SAL0195 Injection 100 mg and SAL0195 Injection 300 mg in people with Elevated Lipoprotein(a), run by The Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University.

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 7 inclusion and 20 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: opening soon, 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.

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?

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 Clinically Significant Changes in Vital Signs (time frame: From baseline through the end of the study, up to Day 365 after dosing.). The study lists 6 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 4 Sep 2026.
