Study Description

Brief Summary:

The objective of this study is to compare the pharmacokinetic parameters of ASC41 in healthy subjects after single and multiple oral dosing.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Healthy	Drug: ASC41; Drug: ASC41 placebo	Phase 1

Detailed Description:

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the tolerability, safety pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic (biomarkers) of ASC41 tables in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled single- and multiple-dose phase I clinical trial in healthy subjects the study. The effects of ASC41 on LDL-C and other lipid parameters (TG, TC, HDL-C, etc.) will be observed after repeated administration of ASC41 in healthy subjects.
