ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new medicine called SAL0140 to see if it is safe and well-tolerated in healthy adults from the Chinese population. The researchers want to understand how the body processes the medicine and how the medicine affects the body. This is an early-stage (Phase 1) study, which means it is mainly focused on safety rather than treating uncontrolled high blood pressure at this point.

To take part, you need to be between 18 and 65 years old, weigh at least 50 kg for men or 45 kg for women, and have a healthy body weight for your height. Participants must be generally healthy, without serious medical issues, and able to follow study rules. The study excludes people with certain heart problems, recent use of specific medications, allergies to ingredients in the study drug, or who smoke, drink heavily, or use certain foods or supplements that could interfere with the study. If you join, you can expect to have health exams, blood tests, and monitoring while taking the study medicine to check for any side effects and to see how your body handles it. It’s important to follow all instructions, including avoiding certain foods, drinks, and medications during the study.
