ZL-82 Double-blind Clinical Trial

A Single-center, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Dose-escalation Design to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics and QTc Effect Research

ZL-82 tablets are highly selective covalent irreversible inhibitors of non-receptor tyrosine protein kinase 3 (Janus kinase 3, JAK3) developed by Chengdu Zenitar Biomedical Technology Co., Ltd. According to Document No. 44 of 2020 "Chemical Drug Registration Classification and Application Document Requirements", it belongs to Category 1 chemical drugs and is an innovative drug that has not been marketed at home or abroad.

ZL-82 tablets have completed non-clinical pharmacology, non-clinical PK, and toxicology experiments, and have obtained the first-in-human randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-increasing dose-increasing approval for single oral administration of ZL-82 tablets. Partial results of the phase I clinical study on safety tolerability, pharmacokinetics and preliminary pharmacodynamics. It is necessary to further explore the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic characteristics of multiple administrations based on the results obtained from the first human trial.

Non-clinical in vitro hERG tests and in vivo animal safety pharmacology tests of ZL-82 tablets showed no relevant cardiac safety concerns. According to the ICH E14 guideline "Clinical Evaluation of QT/QTc Interval Prolongation and Potential Proarrhythmic Effects of Non-Antiarrhythmic Drugs" Evaluation》2, it is recommended to conduct cardiac safety evaluation of experimental drugs with systemic bioavailability to evaluate the impact of experimental drugs on cardiac safety. This evaluation should include evaluation of the effect of the new drug on the QT/QTc interval and collection of adverse cardiovascular events. Establishing a relationship between ZL-82 drug concentration and QT/QTc interval changes will provide additional information for the analysis of cardiac repolarization trial planning and interpretation to facilitate analysis of the effects of drugs on QT/QTc interval changes. Concentration-response analysis, used to characterize the effect of the test drug on the QT/QTc interval, can be used as an alternative to time point analysis.

This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic characteristics of ZL-82 tablets in single/multiple oral doses in healthy subjects, and will also evaluate the effect of ZL-82 tablets on QTc.
