Clinical Trials

A completed Phase 1 clinical trial sponsored by West China Second University Hospital evaluated Ginkgolide B injection in healthy volunteers. The study investigated the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic properties of the drug across single- and multiple-ascending dose regimens. Overall, this foundational evaluation established essential baseline parameters regarding human safety and systemic drug exposure to support potential future therapeutic development.

Compliance for Clinical Use

Mechanism and Biochemical Profile

Ginkgolide B functions as a selective platelet-activating factor receptor (PAFR) antagonist, binding the receptor to inhibit downstream PAF-mediated signaling cascades and reduce cellular responses such as neutrophil degranulation and superoxide production. By dampening these receptor-driven inflammatory pathways, this targeted molecular inhibition provides the mechanistic rationale for evaluating the compound's safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic profile in healthy volunteers during Phase 1 clinical studies.

Appendix RUO and cGMP Quality Standards
