NCT07230652 · Phase 1 · RECRUITING

A Phase 1 MAD Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of LY03020

Sponsor: Luye Pharma Group Ltd.

This trial is testing LY03020, an oral drug, in people with stable schizophrenia and healthy adults to see if it is safe and well-tolerated at increasing doses. The listed conditions include Alzheimer's disease psychosis, suggesting that is a future target, but this Phase 1 study is purely an early safety and dosing check — not a test of whether the drug works against any disease. Details on the drug's mechanism are limited.
