Male Contraception | Drug: YCT-529 Drug: YCT-529 Placebo | Phase 1 |
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Estimated Enrollment : | 18 participants |
Allocation: | Randomized |
Intervention Model: | Parallel Assignment |
Intervention Model Description: | In each cohort, the first 2 sentinel subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either YCT-529 or placebo. The remaining 6 subjects in each cohort will be enrolled in the dosing cohort such that 5 subjects will be randomized to receive YCT-529 and 1 subject will be randomized to receive placebo; therefore, a total of 6 subjects will be randomized to receive YCT-529 and 2 subjects will be randomized to receive placebo at each dose level. |
