About this study

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the pharmacodynamic characteristics of GMDTC for Injection in subjects with elevated cadmium levels after administration, while the secondary objectives are to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic profile of GMDTC for Injection following multiple-dose administration in the same population; based on the results from Phase I single- and multiple-dose studies, the initial dose group in this trial is set at 2000 mg with a concentration of 4 mg/mL, where the first 4 participants (including 3 in the treatment group and 1 in the placebo group) will be enrolled first, and subsequent participants in the same dose group can only continue enrollment after investigators complete the 72-hour post-dose safety and tolerability assessments and confirm favorable results, with the SMC meeting to determine subsequent study plans including but not limited to dose escalation, concentration adjustment or increased treatment duration after completion of observation for each dose group.
