Study Description

This is a Phase I clinical trial of safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of the Mulberry Twig Alkaloids tablets (WH006) in healthy and overweight or obesity subjects. This trial is divided into three parts:

The first part study aims to compare the pharmacokinetics characteristics of WH006 chewing with the first bite of a standardized meal or swallowing after a standardized meal in healthy subjects.

The second part study aims to investigate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of single ascending doses of WH006 in healthy subjects.

The third part study aims to investigate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of multiple ascending doses of WH006 in both healthy participants and overweight or obese subjects.
