About this trial
This is a pilot, proof-of-concept, exploratory, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study. The study will be conducted in 50 healthy volunteers with a body mass index (BMI) between 18.5 and 29.9 kg/m². The objective is to comprehensively evaluate the potential of DNF-10 to modulate appetite through the regulation of enteroendocrine hormones and to determine its relevance in human physiology.
