To Evaluate the Safety of JL18008
China40 participantsStarted 2024-06-13
Plain-language summary
This study is being conducted in healthy adult volunteers to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single injection of an investigational drug called JL18008. The study also examines how the body processes the drug and how it affects immune cells. Participants receive one intramuscular injection of either JL18008 at one of six dose levels (1, 5, 10, 20, 40, or 70 μg/kg) or a placebo (an inactive substance). The study is randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled, meaning participants and study staff do not know who receives the active drug or placebo. Blood samples are collected over 56 days to measure drug levels, immune cell counts (such as CD4⁺ T cells), and any antibodies that may form against the drug. The goal is to find a safe dose that can be tested in future studies of people with HIV who have low CD4⁺ T cells despite antiviral treatment.

Inclusion criteria
. Voluntary participation in the study, ability to understand and comply with the protocol requirements, and provision of written informed consent.

. Male or female, age 18 to 55 years inclusive.
. Body weight: male ≥50.0 kg, female ≥45.0 kg. Body mass index (BMI) between 18.0 and 26.0 kg/m² inclusive. BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)².
. No clinically significant history of cardiovascular, hepatic, renal, gastrointestinal, neurological, or hematological disease.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
