About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety of an inhaled study drug called ICF004 in healthy adults. ICF004 is being created to treat progressive lung scarring in the future. It will also learn how the body handles the drug over time.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
What medical problems or side effects do participants have when taking ICF004? How does the body absorb and metabolize ICF004? Researchers will compare ICF004 to a placebo (a look-alike powder that contains no active drug) to see if ICF004 is safe and well-tolerated.
Participants will:
Breathe in a single dose or multiple doses of ICF004 or a placebo using a dry powder inhaler; Stay at or visit the study clinic for checkups and tests; Give blood samples so researchers can measure the amount of drug in their blood.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Fully understand the study procedures and methods, volunteer to participate in this study, and sign the written informed consent form.
Healthy adult participants, male or female, aged 18 to 50 years (inclusive).
Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥ 18 and < 28 kg/m²; body weight ≥ 50.0 kg and < 90.0 kg for males, and ≥ 45.0 kg and < 90.0 kg for females.
Medically healthy as determined by the investigator, based on the absence of clinically significant abnormalities in physical examinations, laboratory tests, vital signs, chest X-ray, and electrocardiogram (ECG).
Disqualifiers
History of any clinically significant disease (including past and current history), including but not limited to respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, hematological, endocrine, immunological, dermatological, malignant tumor, neuropsychiatric, ear/nose/throat (ENT), or metabolic diseases; or any other condition that, in the opinion of the investigator (or sub-investigator), makes the participant unsuitable for the study.
Major surgery within 6 months prior to dosing, planned surgery during the study, or previous surgery that may significantly affect the pharmacokinetics or safety evaluation of the study drug.
Current oral diseases that may affect the study, as judged by the investigator (e.g., oropharyngeal candidiasis, oral ulcers, oral mucosal lesions).
Fever (body temperature > 37.5°C) or symptomatic respiratory infection within 1 month prior to dosing; any infection requiring systemic antibiotics or antivirals within 3 months prior to screening; or a history of recurrent infections.
