Study of the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics of VV261 Tablets in Chinese Healthy Volunteers

A Phase I Clinical Study Evaluating the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics of a Single Oral Dose of VV261 Tablets in Chinese Healthy Volunteers

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending-dose study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics characteristics of VV261 tablets in healthy adults.

The study is designed to enroll 58 volunteers. The pilot study is an open-labelled study where both volunteers receive 5 mg VV261 tablets. The formal study, conducted as a double-blind study, comprise 7dose groups with 8 volunteers (both sexes) each.

The formal study's dose groups are designed as 20 mg, 50 mg, 150 mg, 300 mg, 500 mg, 750 mg, and 1000 mg. Based on observed tolerability and safety data or obtained pharmacokinetic data, adjustments are allowed at all dose levels in the clinical trial.
