Clinical Trials

A Phase 1 clinical trial, sponsored by Bioblast Pharma Ltd. in collaboration with Parexel, evaluated the safety and tolerability of D-(+)-Trehalose Anhydrous in healthy volunteers. This completed, single-center study used a single ascending dose design to establish the compound's maximum tolerated dose. The investigation provided essential clinical parameters to support future human administration of the agent.

Compliance for Clinical Use

Mechanism and Biochemical Profile

As a non-reducing disaccharide, D-(+)-Trehalose Anhydrous interacts with biomembranes and native proteins to inhibit conformational unfolding and prevent macromolecular aggregation during environmental or metabolic stress. This cellular preservation effect maintains organelle functionality and reduces physiological stress responses, providing the mechanistic rationale for evaluating its safety and tolerability in healthy volunteer subjects.

Appendix RUO and cGMP Quality Standards
