March 19, 2014 updated by: Pfizer

Subject And Investigator-Blinded, Sponsor-Open, Randomized, Single-Dose, Placebo-Controlled, 2-Way, 4-Period Crossover Study To Assess Effects Of PF-02545920 On Ketamine-Induced Aberrant Prefrontal Response To Associative Learning In Healthy Subjects

To evaluate whether PF-02545920 reduces the effects of ketamine on brain activation during causal learning as measured by fMRI compared to placebo in healthy human subjects, and to evaluate whether behavioral measures of abnormal causal learning under ketamine are reduced by treatment with PF 02545920.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The study was terminated on November 2, 2012 due to a reassessment of the likelihood of the study meeting its scientific objectives in light of data with the investigational drug obtained from another clinical study. The decision to terminate the trial was not based on any safety concerns.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Lateral prefrontal cortex activation as measured by functional MRI (fMRI) BOLD imaging during causal learning and working memory tasks
Time Frame: Day 1 of each treatment period
Day 1 of each treatment period

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Lateral prefrontal cortex activation during causal learning and working memory tasks as measured by arterial spin labelling imaging
Time Frame: Day 1 of each treatment period
Day 1 of each treatment period
Causal learning task prediction error score for stimulus/outcome associations across 3 stages of learning and expectancy violation
Time Frame: Day 1 of each treatment period
Day 1 of each treatment period
N-back working memory task number correct
Time Frame: Day 1 of each treatment period
Day 1 of each treatment period
Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) positive and negative subscale total score
Time Frame: Day 1 of each treatment period
Day 1 of each treatment period
Clinician administered dissociative states scale (CADSS) total score

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
