NCT05262023 · Phase 1 · ACTIVE NOT RECRUITING
A Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of DNL593 in Healthy Participants and Participants With Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD-GRN)
This study is testing DNL593, an experimental drug, against a placebo. It looks at safety, how the body processes the drug, and its effects on the body. It starts with healthy volunteers, then moves to people with a genetic form of frontotemporal dementia (FTD-GRN). It is a Phase 1 trial, an early check on safety, not proof it works.
