About this study

Official title: A Randomised, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Single and Repeated Dose Escalation Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of AUT00201 in Healthy Male and Female 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 (Part A: up to 40 healthy male subjects and up to 8 healthy female subjects, Part B: up to 32 healthy male subjects) the primary aim is to assess how safe the study medicine is in healthy men and women.

This study will be in 2 parts, as follows:

Part A will assess single doses of AUT00201 and Part B will assess multiple doses. Part A will be divided into 3 sub-parts: Part A1 will assess single ascending doses in healthy men, Part A2 will assess single ascending doses in healthy women, and Part A3 will assess the effect of food on the PK of AUT00201 in healthy men.

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

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing AUT00201 in people with Healthy Volunteer, run by Autifony Therapeutics Limited at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 4 inclusion and 19 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 13 Jan 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Percent of subjects with treatment-related adverse events (time frame: Study Duration (2 weeks post last dose)). 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 13 Jan 2021.
