Clinical Trials

Pfizer has sponsored several completed Phase 1 clinical trials for Ketohexokinase inhibitor 1 to evaluate its safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics. These early-stage studies investigated single or multiple oral doses across diverse cohorts, including healthy participants, individuals with hepatic impairment, and patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Together, these evaluations establish the foundational pharmacokinetic and clinical safety profile of this targeted inhibitor.

Compliance for Clinical Use

Mechanism and Biochemical Profile

Ketohexokinase inhibitor 1 potently inhibits ketohexokinase isoforms C and A, blocking the initial rate-limiting step of hepatic fructose phosphorylation and suppressing downstream fructolysis and de novo lipogenesis. By preventing intracellular lipid accumulation and cellular metabolic stress, this targeted inhibition directly addresses hepatic metabolic dysfunction relevant to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and hepatic impairment.

Appendix RUO and cGMP Quality Standards
