Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Brexanolone
Participants will receive a 60-hour single continuous IV infusion of brexanolone, at 30 mcg/kg/hour (0 to 4 hours), at 60 mcg/kg/hour (4 to 24 hours), at 90 mcg/kg/hour (24 to 52 hours), followed by a taper to 60 mcg/kg/hour (52 to 56 hours), and 30 mcg/kg/hour (56 to 60 hours) during the study.
|
Administered as IV infusion.
|
What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
Time Frame: From first dose of study drug up to end of follow-up period (up to Day 30)
|
An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.
An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product.
A TEAE is defined as an AE with onset on or after the start of study drug infusion, or any worsening of a pre-existing medical condition/AE with onset on or after the start of study drug infusion.
|
From first dose of study drug up to end of follow-up period (up to Day 30)
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve (AUC) From Time Zero to 60 Hours (AUC0-60)
Time Frame: Day 1: From 0 hour (pre-infusion) and at 4, 8, 12, 24, 30, 36, 48 hours during the infusion; at 60 hours (end of infusion)
|
Day 1: From 0 hour (pre-infusion) and at 4, 8, 12, 24, 30, 36, 48 hours during the infusion; at 60 hours (end of infusion)
|
|
AUC From Time Zero to Infinity (AUCinf)
Time Frame: Day 1: From 0 hour (pre-infusion) and at 4, 8, 12, 24, 30, 36, 48 hours during the infusion; at 60 hours (end of infusion)
|
Day 1: From 0 hour (pre-infusion) and at 4, 8, 12, 24, 30, 36, 48 hours during the infusion; at 60 hours (end of infusion)
|
|
Maximum (Peak) Plasma Concentration (Cmax)
Time Frame: Day 1: From 0 hour (pre-infusion) and at 4, 8, 12, 24, 30, 36, 48 hours during the infusion; at 60 hours (end of infusion)
|
Day 1: From 0 hour (pre-infusion) and at 4, 8, 12, 24, 30, 36, 48 hours during the infusion; at 60 hours (end of infusion)
|
|
Time at Maximum (Peak) Plasma Concentration (Tmax)
Time Frame: Day 1: From 0 hour (pre-infusion) and at 4, 8, 12, 24, 30, 36, 48 hours during the infusion; at 60 hours (end of infusion)
|
Day 1: From 0 hour (pre-infusion) and at 4, 8, 12, 24, 30, 36, 48 hours during the infusion; at 60 hours (end of infusion)
|
|

Time Frame: Day 1: From 0 hour (pre-infusion) and at 4, 8, 12, 24, 30, 36, 48 hours during the infusion; at 60 hours (end of infusion)
|
Given that brexanolone is infused to steady-state plasma concentrations, the model-predicted steady-state drug concentration in the plasma during constant-rate infusion value also represents the predicted maximum plasma concentration at the highest infused dose (90 ug/kg/h).
|
Day 1: From 0 hour (pre-infusion) and at 4, 8, 12, 24, 30, 36, 48 hours during the infusion; at 60 hours (end of infusion)
|

Time Frame: Day 1: From 0 hour (pre-infusion) and at 4, 8, 12, 24, 30, 36, 48 hours during the infusion; at 60 hours (end of infusion)
|
Cavg was evaluated as the time-weighted average plasma concentrations of brexanolone over the interval.
|
Day 1: From 0 hour (pre-infusion) and at 4, 8, 12, 24, 30, 36, 48 hours during the infusion; at 60 hours (end of infusion)
|

|
Half-life is the time required for half of the drug to be eliminated from the serum.
|
Day 1: From 0 hour (pre-infusion) and at 4, 8, 12, 24, 30, 36, 48 hours during the infusion; at 60 hours (end of infusion)
|
Clearance of Brexanolone (CL/F)
Time Frame: Day 1: From 0 hour (pre-infusion) and at 4, 8, 12, 24, 30, 36, 48 hours during the infusion; at 60 hours (end of infusion)
|
Clearance is defined as the volume of plasma from which a substance is completely removed per unit time.
|
Day 1: From 0 hour (pre-infusion) and at 4, 8, 12, 24, 30, 36, 48 hours during the infusion; at 60 hours (end of infusion)
|
Steady-State of Volume of Distribution (Vss)
Time Frame: Day 1: From 0 hour (pre-infusion) and at 4, 8, 12, 24, 30, 36, 48 hours during the infusion; at 60 hours (end of infusion)
|
Volume of distribution is defined as the theoretical volume in which the total amount of drug would need to be uniformly distributed to produce the desired plasma concentration of a drug.
