About this study

Official title: A Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Effect of a Single Dose of CVN058 on Mismatch Negativity in Subjects With Stable Schizophrenia

This is a phase 1, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 3 period cross-over study to evaluate CVN058 target engagement by measuring auditory evoked potential mismatch negativity (MMN) downstream to 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 3 (5-HT3) as a pharmacodynamic (PD) marker.

Read the detailed description

Male and female subjects with schizophrenia, age 18 to 50 years old, inclusive, will be randomized to 1 of 6 treatment sequences (Table 2.a) to receive 1 of 3 dose regimens in each period: a single oral administration of CVN058 (15 mg or 150 mg) or matching placebo. The sequence will determine the order in which a subject will take each of the 3 regimens. Discontinued subjects may be replaced at the discretion of the sponsor so that approximately 20 completed subjects are available for analysis.

The study includes three 1-day treatment periods, with a minimum of 7-day washout, maximum 10 day washout (2 total washouts, after Periods 1 and 2) between periods, and a 7-10 day follow-up call post dosing of the last period. Subjects may be inpatients or outpatients at the discretion of the Investigator.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Mean Amplitude of Duration of Auditory Mismatch Negativity (MMN) by Dose Level

    MMN is a pre-attentive auditory component elicited by deviant stimuli in an auditory oddball task. Participants were repeatedly exposed to auditory tones and a small proportion of those tones (the "deviant" stimuli) differ from the others (the "standard" stimuli) in their frequency or duration. Typically, the tones are presented, and the evoked potentials are recorded while participants are engaged on a different task, such as reading. Normally, the occurrence of a deviant stimulus increases the amplitude of the negative component in the evoked potential occurring at around 200 msec. MMN is the difference in amplitude between deviant and standard stimuli responses and considered to represent an aspect of pre-attentive novelty detection.

    Measured: 1.5 hours post-dose on Day 1

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of Participants Reporting Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of a study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. A SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, associated with liver injury and impaired liver function or any other situations as per medical or scientific judgement. TEAEs are defined as any event with onset during or after the first dose of study treatment (active or placebo)

    Measured: Screening through 30 days post-dose, up to 58 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing CVN058 in people with Schizophrenia, run by Cerevance Alpha, Inc. at 3 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Oct 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mean Amplitude of Duration of Auditory Mismatch Negativity (MMN) by Dose Level (time frame: 1.5 hours post-dose on Day 1). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Oct 2024.
