A First Time in Human, Double Blind, Randomised, Placebo Controlled Dose Escalation Study to Assess the Safety and Tolerability of PP 1420 in Healthy Subjects.
In Brief
A Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating PP 1420 and Placebo for Obesity. Completed, enrolled 13 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
When humans eat, the bowels naturally secrete chemicals into the bloodstream which make people feel full and which stop eating. One of these chemicals is known as "Pancreatic Polypeptide" (PP). We have previously shown that injections of human PP reduces appetite and food intake. We have now developed a very similar chemical, PP 1420, as a treatment for obesity. PP 1420 has been tested in animals and has been shown to be safe, and to reduce their appetite. This study will test PP 1420 for its safety and tolerability in humans.
