Chengdu, China, July 11, 2024 -- Huitai BioMedicine (HUITAI) announced that the company's first self-developed and globally patented innovative drug, inhaled HTPEP-001 for the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis, completed the dosing of the first healthy subject in Phase I clinical trial at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital. HTPEP-001's mechanism, target, and structure are all first-in-class worldwide.

Back on June 26, the Phase I clinical trial of inhaled HTPEP-001 investigators kick-off meeting was held at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital. This study is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled Phase I clinical research aimed at evaluating the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of inhaled HTPEP-001 in healthy subjects. The meeting focused on introducing the background of the project, key technical points of the clinical trial protocol, and ensuring consistency in the implementation of the project operations, with extensive discussions on the clinical operational processes.

This Phase I clinical trial was lead by Professor Tong Zhaohui, Director of the Beijing Institute of Respiratory Diseases and Deputy Director of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, and Assistant Professor Wang Shumin, Director of the Office of Drug Clinical Trial Institutions. Previously, inhaled HTPEP-001 had obtained the Clinical Trial Approval from the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) (direct approval) and completed a one-time review from the medical ethics review committee.

Mr Wei Yijun, HUITAI's CEO, stated: "This year, several inhaled drugs have made significant clinical advancements in the treatment of pulmonary diseases globally, and peptide drugs also possess natural advantages in chronic disease treatment. The initiation of clinical trials for HTPEP-001, which combines inhalation delivery, peptide advantages, and a clear anti-fibrotic mechanism, is an exciting milestone. Particularly for patients suffering from pulmonary fibrosis-related diseases, this signifies that they may soon enjoy higher levels of clinical benefits from anti-fibrotic therapy."
