To Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, PK/PD & Food Effect of Single/Multiple Oral TUL321 Capsules in Healthy Participants.

August 30, 2026 updated by: Zhuhai United Laboratories Co., Ltd.

A Phase I Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamic Characteristics of Single and Multiple Doses of TUL321 Capsule in Healthy Participants, and the Effect of Food on Pharmacokinetics

Phase I Study Evaluating Safety, Tolerability, PK and PD of Single and Multiple Doses of TUL321 Capsule in Healthy Participants and Food Effect on PK

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Primary Objective:

To evaluate the safety and tolerability following single and multiple oral dministrations of TUL321 capsules in healthy participants.

Secondary Objectives:

  1. To characterize the pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles following single and multiple oral administrations of TUL321 capsules in healthy participants;
  2. To evaluate the effect of a high-fat meal on the PK profiles after a single oral administration of TUL321 capsules in healthy participants;
  3. To preliminarily assess the in vivo biotransformation and mass balance characteristics following single oral administration of TUL321 capsules;
  4. To characterize the pharmacodynamic (PD) profiles following single and multiple oral administrations of TUL321 capsules in healthy participants;
  5. To evaluate the effect of single oral administration of TUL321 capsules on the QT/QTc interval.

  3. Known or suspected history of immunodeficiency, inherited or acquired complement deficiency.
  4. Confirmed active systemic bacterial, viral or fungal infection within 2 weeks before screening.
  5. History of confirmed encapsulated bacterial infection within 6 months before screening, including but not limited to meningococcus, streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae type b.
  6. Clinically significant abnormal findings in laboratory tests, physical examination, vital signs, ECG, chest X-ray or abdominal ultrasound at screening.
  7. QTcF (Fridericia correction) ≥450 ms at screening; or other risk factors for torsades de pointes (TdP), such as heart failure, hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, family history of long QT syndrome.

  9. Positive for HBsAg, anti-HCV, anti-HIV or syphilis-specific antibody at screening.
  10. Received other vaccines not specified in the protocol within 1 month before screening, or plan to receive such vaccines during the study.
  11. Participated in another interventional clinical trial within 3 months before screening (excluding subjects who only completed screening without enrollment, or enrolled but did not receive study treatment).
  12. Average daily cigarette consumption >5 cigarettes within 3 months before screening.
  13. History of drug/substance abuse within 6 months before screening, or positive drug abuse screening test.
  14. Chronic constipation or diarrhea, or other conditions judged by investigator to interfere with fecal sample collection.
  15. Required or plan to perform heavy physical labor or strenuous exercise during study participation.
  16. Pregnant or lactating women, or women of child-bearing potential with positive pregnancy test at screening.
  17. Acute illness or concomitant medication occurs from screening to pre-first-dose.
  18. Cannot tolerate high-fat meal (applies only to subjects in the food-effect sub-study).
