A Phase 1 Study to Investigate Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of CK-0045 in Healthy Participants and Otherwise Healthy Participants With Obesity

January 9, 2024 updated by: Cytoki Pharma

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Single and Multiple Ascending Dose Study to Investigate Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of CK-0045 Following Subcutaneous Administration in Healthy Participants and Otherwise Healthy Participants With Obesity

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the safety, tolerability and blood levels following a single dose or after multiple doses of CK-0045 given subcutaneously to healthy participants or otherwise healthy participants with obesity. 76 participants will receive CK-0045 or matching placebo at different escalating doses in 2 study parts: 40 healthy participants will receive a single dose and 36 otherwise healthy participants with obesity will receive 6 doses one week apart.
