About

This is a single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase I clinical study, divided into two parts. The first part is a single-dose escalation study (Part1,SAD study phase), and the second part is a multiple-dose escalation study (Part2,MAD study phase). It's aimed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of ACT500 in healthy adult participants, and to explore possible metabolites and biomarkers of ACT500.

Enrollment: 72 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 55 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

• Participants of men and women of childbearing potential willing to use highly effective contraceptive measures (condoms, contraceptive sponges, contraceptive gels, contraceptive films, intrauterine devices, oral or injectable contraceptives, subdermal implants, etc.) from the time of signatures of the informed consent form until 90 days after the last administration of the study medication; and women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy tests at the time of screening and at the time of the D-1 examination;

• Clinical significant abnormality in vital signs, physical examination, laboratory tests, or ECG at screening, as assessed by the investigator unsuitable for inclusion;

• Existing liver disease or unexplained elevation of liver function tests (alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), total bilirubin or direct bilirubin > 1.5×ULN at screening or D-1, or D-1 test value is more than 50% higher than the screening test value);
• Respiratory infections (upper and/or lower respiratory tract) treated with antibiotics within 12 weeks before screening;
• Infectious diseases within the screening period (within 28 days before the first dose) that, in the investigator's judgment, would affect the participant's ability to participate in the trial;

• Received live or attenuated vaccines within 30 days before the first dose, or planning to receive them during the study period;
• Participated in or currently participating in other new drug or medical device clinical trials within 30 days before the first dose (or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer), or currently undergoing follow-up of another clinical study;
• Unable to swallow oral medication, having clinically significant gastrointestinal abnormalities (such as post-gastrointestinal resection, post-gastrointestinal anastomosis, chronic diarrhea, and intestinal obstruction, etc.) or existing conditions that, in the investigator's judgment, significantly affect gastrointestinal absorption;
• Poor venous access, unable to tolerate venipuncture, or having a history of clinically significant syncope or needle phobia as judged by the investigator;

• Heavy smoking (defined as more than 5 cigarettes per day) or use of nicotine-containing products (such as snuff, nicotine patches, nicotine gum, e-cigarettes, simulated cigarettes, or inhalers) within 6 months before screening; or unable to quit smoking (stop nicotine intake) during the trial period;
• A history of alcohol abuse within 90 days before screening, or positive alcohol test results at D-1; or unable to abstain from alcohol intake during the trial period; alcohol abuse is defined as an average weekly intake of more than 14 standard drinks (1 standard drink contains 14g of alcohol, such as 45ml of spirits with an alcohol concentration of 40% or 180ml of wine with an alcohol concentration of 10%);
• Pregnant or breastfeeding women;
• The investigator believes that the participant has other conditions that may affect compliance or are unsuitable for participation in this trial.
