Safety and Efficacy Study of AV608 in Subjects With Social Anxiety Disorder
February 15, 2008 updated by: Avera Pharmaceuticals
A Phase 2, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial to Investigate the Safety and Efficacy of AV608 in Subjects With Social Anxiety Disorder
The purpose of this study is to look at the safety and effectiveness of an investigational drug (AV608) when used in subjects who have Social Anxiety Disorder.
AV608 is an NK-1 receptor antagonist that exhibits central nervous system activity after oral administration.
The study will compare AV608 to placebo (a medically inactive substance) to see if AV608 helps the symptoms of Social Anxiety Disorder.
Eligible subjects will be assigned by chance to take either AV608 or placebo for 12 weeks.
During the study, subjects will be asked about their overall health and mood and their Social Anxiety Disorder.
