About this study
Official title: Muscarinic M1 Receptor Availability and Cognition in Schizophrenia
This exploratory study seeks to examine M1 receptor availability in SZ patients and to relate M1 receptor availability to proximal and distal measures of cognitive performance, namely evoked ɣ oscillations in the EEG and verbal memory. Furthermore, the relationship between hippocampal [11C]EMO availability (BPND), evoked ɣ oscillations, verbal memory, and measures of illness severity will be explored.
Read the detailed description
Converging lines of evidence from postmortem studies provide strong evidence that brain muscarinic M1 receptor deficit is present in a subset of schizophrenia (SZ) patients. M1 receptors are an important target for cognitive deficits in SZ. However, until now, it has not been possible to examine the heterogeneity of SZ with respect to M1 receptor availability in vivo. The development of a novel positron emission tomography (PET) ligand, [11C]EMO, at Yale PET Center provides a unique opportunity to, for the first time, examine in vivo brain muscarinic M1 receptor availability in SZ and, concurrently, elucidate the relationship of M1 receptors to cognitive deficits in SZ.
The investigators will compare M1 receptor availability in SZ patients and age-, gender-matched healthy controls using [11C]EMO and the High Resolution Research Tomograph (HRRT), a PET scanner with high sensitivity and resolution available for human brain imaging. This study will explore the relationship between: hippocampal [11C]EMO binding (as a measure of hippocampal M1 AChR availability), encoding-related γ power during a verbal memory task, verbal memory, gender, and serum acetylcholine level. This exploratory study will provide the necessary pilot data to conduct a larger study to fully investigate the heterogeneity of SZ with respect to M1 receptor availability.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing 11C-EMO - A Novel PET Radiotracer for Muscarinic M1 Receptor and PET Scan in people with Schizophrenia and Schizoaffective Disorder, run by Yale University at 1 site 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 3 inclusion and 2 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 Nov 2024. 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 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?
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?
Hippocampal M1 availability (time frame: 10 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05105542, which also lists 58 linked publications.
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 Nov 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 30 Oct 2026.
