ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is a first-step study to see if a new oral medicine called INCB000631 is safe and well-tolerated when given to healthy adults. The goal is to understand how the body processes this medicine and to make sure it does not cause any harmful effects. Since this is an early phase study, only healthy adults without major health problems will be invited to participate.

To be eligible, participants need to be between 19 and 55 years old, have a body weight in a healthy range, and pass several health checks including blood tests and heart monitoring. Both men and women can join, but women must not be pregnant and both men and women must agree to use birth control during and shortly after the study. Participants will be asked to avoid certain foods, drinks, and medications before and during the study, and they should not use tobacco or alcohol near the study period. If selected, participants will take the study medicine by mouth and be closely monitored for any side effects or changes in their health. This trial is not yet recruiting, but it aims to gather important information to help guide future research on this medicine.
