About this study

This trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo- and active-controlled, single-dose escalation study in healthy volunteers. A total of 76 volunteers will be enrolled. Healthy volunteers will be randomly assigned to receive KL0011034 injection, placebo, or Etomidate Injectable Emulsion. Each volunteer is allowed to participate in only one dose cohort; intra-volunteer dose escalation is not permitted. Enrollment into the next cohort will begin only after safety and tolerability data from the previous cohort have been reviewed and deemed acceptable by the investigator(s) and sponsor. If the highest dose is well tolerated, the investigator(s) and sponsor will evaluate the accumulated data and decide whether to terminate dose escalation or continue to higher dose levels.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Drug

Intravenous injection, single dose

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of reported Adverse Events

    Time frame: From first dose of drug until day 2

    Safety and tolerability was assessed by the number of volunteers with adverse events.

Secondary outcomes

  1. PK parameter Cmax in plasma

    Time frame: From first dose of drug until day 2

    Maximum peak plasma concentration (Cmax) after single dose.

  2. PK parameter Tmax in plasma

    Time frame: From first dose of drug until day 2

    Time of Cmax (Tmax) after single dose. PK parameters will be assessed for plasma KL0011034 and its metabolite(s) .

  3. PK parameter AUC0-t in plasma

    Time frame: From first dose of drug until day 2

    Area under the concentration-time curve (AUC0-t) from time zero to time "t" after single dose. PK parameters will be assessed for plasma KL0011034 and its metabolite(s) .

  4. PK parameter AUC0-∞ in plasma

    Time frame: From first dose of drug until day 2

    AUC from time zero to infinity (AUC0-∞) after single dose. PK parameters will be assessed for plasma KL0011034 and its metabolite(s) .

  5. PK parameter t1/2 in plasma

    Time frame: From first dose of drug until day 2

    Terminal-phase elimination half-life (t1/2) after single dose. PK parameters will be assessed for plasma KL0011034 and its metabolite(s) .

  6. Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness Sedation (MOAA/S) scale

    Time frame: From first dose of drug until 10 minutes after fully alert on day 1.

    MOAA/S is a commonly used clinical sedation assessment scale, ranging from 0 to 5, which helps clinicians determine the level of sedation in patients. A score of 5 indicates full consciousness, whereas a score of 0 indicates deep coma. Lower scores correspond to deeper levels of sedation.

  7. Electroencephalogram bispectrality index (BIS) monitoring

    Time frame: From first dose of drug until 10 minutes after fully alert on day 1.

    BIS is the most widely used method for the continuous monitoring of sedation depth in clinical anesthesia. BIS values range from 0 to 100, where 100 represents complete wakefulness and 0 indicates complete cortical electrical inhibition.

  8. Loss of eyelash reflex

    Time frame: From first dose of drug until the reflex was fully restored on day 1.

    The eyelash reflex is a commonly used clinical method to assess the level of consciousness in patients. Gentle stimulation of the eyelashes with a cotton swab normally elicits a blink; absence of this response indicates loss of the eyelash reflex.

  9. Modified Aldrete Scoring (Aldrete) Scale

    Time frame: From being fully alert until meeting the discharge criteria to leave the unit on day 1.

    The Modified Aldrete Score is the most widely used standardized tool for assessing discharge readiness from post-anesthesia care unit (PACU). It evaluates five parameters: activity, respiration, blood pressure consciousness, and SpO2. Ranging from 0 to 10, the higher the score, the better the quality of recovery.
