Interventions

NameTypeDescription
SSS17 Capsule (6 Dose Levels)DRUGArm1 : This dose-ranging study evaluates 6 dose levels of oral SSS17 capsules under two regimens: Once weekly、 Twice weekly
Placebo DrugDRUGArm2:placebo The placebo intervention was matched with the six dose levels of SSS17, with each dose level assigning participants in a ratio of 4:1 (SSS17 to placebo).
SSS17DRUGThe SSS17 treatment arm comprises three dose levels: the first two dose levels will have an 8-week treatment duration, while the third dose level will extend to 24 weeks. At each dose level, participants will be allocated in a 4:1 ratio (SSS17:placebo) for enrollment.
PlaceboDRUGAt each dose level, participants will be allocated in a 4:1 ratio (SSS17:placebo) for enrollment.Placebo recipients will undergo weekly dosing identical to the active treatment group within their assigned dose cohort.

Frequently asked questions about SSS17

What is SSS17 used for?

SSS17 is an investigational small molecule being developed for anemia in pre-dialysis patients and postoperative anemia, particularly after hip or knee arthroplasty. It is also studied in healthy subjects for pharmacokinetic and mass balance purposes. The drug is in Phase 2 clinical development.

Who makes SSS17?

SSS17 is being developed by Sunshine Biopharma Inc., a company listed on the stock exchange under the ticker SBFM. The company is conducting clinical trials of SSS17 in China for anemia-related conditions.

What phase is SSS17 in?

SSS17 is in Phase 2 clinical development. It has completed a Phase 2 dose-finding trial for anemia in non-dialysis chronic kidney disease and is planning a Phase 2a trial for postoperative anemia after arthroplasty. Phase 1 studies in healthy subjects have also been completed.

What clinical trials is SSS17 in?

SSS17 has been studied in several trials. NCT07014631 is a completed Phase 2 dose-finding study for anemia in pre-dialysis patients.
