Safety, Blood Levels and Effects of AUT00206

October 13, 2016 updated by: Autifony Therapeutics Limited

A Randomised, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Single and Repeated Dose Escalation Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of AUT00206 in Healthy Volunteers.

The study medicine is a potential future treatment for schizophrenia, an illness that affects the way that people think, feel or behave. It is not clear what causes schizophrenia, but it's been linked to chemical imbalance in the brain. It is hoped that the study medicine will activate specific sites in the brain to help correct that imbalance. Current treatments for schizophrenia don't work very well and can cause unpleasant side effects. It is hoped that the study medicine will work better, and have fewer side effects than existing medicines.

In this 2 part study (Parts A and B), the primary aim is to assess how safe the study medicine is in healthy men, aged 18-45 years, and how much of it gets into the blood. Its effects on the brain will also be tested.

In Part A, up to 24 participants will receive up to 5 single doses of the study medicine (AUT00206 or placebo) by mouth, either after fasting or after a high fat breakfast. The study medicine has never been given to humans before, so the initial doses will be small and the dose level will be increased as the study progresses. Participants may take up to 14 weeks to finish the study. They'll make up to 22 outpatient visits, and stay on the ward up to 5 times, for 3 nights in a row each time.

In Part B, 24 participants will receive daily doses of the study medicine (AUT00206 or placebo) for up to 28 days. Participants will take up to 10 weeks to finish the study. They'll make 6 outpatient visits, and stay on the ward for up to 30 nights, depending on how long we expect it to take until blood levels of the study medicine level off.

A pharmaceutical company, Autifony Therapeutics Limited, is funding the study. The study will take place at 1 centre in London.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

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.

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.
Interventional

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.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 45 years (Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

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.

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

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.
