Frequently asked questions about Candin

What is Candin?

Candin is an investigational small molecule developed by Johnson & Johnson (ticker JNJ). It is being studied as a challenge agent in healthy participants rather than as a treatment for a specific disease. All three of its Phase 1 trials have been completed, and no active trials are currently listed.

What is Candin used for?

Candin is used as a challenge agent in clinical research involving healthy participants. Its completed Phase 1 trials were conducted in healthy volunteers in Belgium, with no disease indication disclosed. It is not described as a treatment for any specific condition, and no therapeutic indication has been announced.

Who makes Candin?

Candin is developed by Johnson & Johnson, which trades under the ticker JNJ. The company has sponsored all three of the completed Phase 1 trials of Candin, which were run in Belgium and enrolled a combined total of 45 healthy participants.

What phase is Candin in?

Candin is in Phase 1 development. All three of its clinical trials are Phase 1 studies, and all three are completed, with no active trials listed. It is an investigational agent and has not been approved by the FDA for any use.

What clinical trials is Candin in?

Candin has been studied in three completed Phase 1 trials: NCT05522517, which enrolled 20 healthy participants; NCT04611971, which enrolled 13; and NCT04589026, which enrolled 12. All three were conducted in Belgium in healthy volunteers aged 18 and older, and all are now completed.

How does Candin work?

Candin is a small molecule studied as a challenge agent in healthy participants. In that role it is given to volunteers to help evaluate a biological response under controlled research conditions. Its specific molecular target has not been disclosed, so its precise mechanism of action is not publicly described.
