What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Paired Associate Learning (PAL) Total Errors Adjusted (PALTEA28) on Ketamine
Paired Associate Learning (PAL) assesses visual memory and new learning. Boxes are displayed on the screen and open in turn to reveal a number of patterns. Participants are instructed to try to remember the location in which each pattern was shown. After all the boxes have been opened, each pattern is then shown in the center of the screen in a randomised order, and the participant touches the box in which the pattern was located. If an error is made, all the patterns are re-presented to remind the participant of their locations.
The PALTEA28 evaluates the number of errors committed by the subject plus an adjustment for the estimated number of errors they would have made on any stages that were not reached. Calculated across all assessed two, four, six and eight box trials.
Measured: At 4:20 and 5:06 hours:minutes after first drug administration in each treatment period.
Secondary outcomes (2)
Spatial Working Memory (SWM) Between Errors (BE468) on Ketamine
SWM assesses the ability of the participant to retain spatial information and manipulate it in working memory. A number of coloured boxes are presented on the screen, and the computer hides a token in these boxes one at a time. The participant is instructed to touch the boxes in turn to search for the token that has been hidden. The key task instruction is that the computer will never hide a token in the same coloured box twice in the same problem.
The SWMBE468 evaluates the number of times the subject incorrectly revisits a box in which a token has previously been found. Calculated across all assessed four, six and eight token trials.
Measured: At 4:20 and 5:06 hours:minutes after first drug administration in each treatment period.
Rapid Visual Information Processing A' Prime (RVPA) on Ketamine
Rapid Visual Information Processing (RVP) is a sensitive measure of sustained attention, outputting measures of response accuracy, target sensitivity and reaction times.
The RVPA is a quantitative measure for a subject's sensitivity to the target sequence regardless of response tendency. The RVPA ranges from 0.00 to 1.00. The higher the RVPA value, the better the sensitivity to the target sequence one has.
Measured: At 4:20 and 5:06 hours:minutes after first drug administration in each treatment period.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing Lamotrigine, BI 409306 and BI 425809 in people with Healthy, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 2 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 10 inclusion and 8 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 12 Mar 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 2 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. 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 12 Mar 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?
Paired Associate Learning (PAL) Total Errors Adjusted (PALTEA28) on Ketamine (time frame: At 4:20 and 5:06 hours:minutes after first drug administration in each treatment period.). 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 12 Mar 2024.
