  • Suicidal Ideation Item 1 (Wish to be Dead)
Show all 20Show fewer
  • Suicidal Ideation Item 2 (Non-Specific Active Suicidal Thoughts) Serious risk of suicide in the opinion of the investigator is also exclusionary.
  • Any condition or surgery that could possibly affect drug absorption, including, but not limited to, bowel resections, bariatric weight loss surgery/procedures, gastrectomy, and cholecystectomy.
  • Known allergy or hypersensitivity to the investigational medicinal product (IMP), including carbamazepine, closely related compounds, or any of their specified ingredients.
  • Participants positive for human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B 1502 or HLA-A 3101.
  • Use of prohibited medication prior to randomization (5 half-lives) or likely to require prohibited concomitant therapy during the trial. CYP3A4 inhibitors and inducers are prohibited from 30 days prior to signing of the ICF through the end of the trial. Vaccinations or boosters within 7 days of planned dosing or while on trial are prohibited.
  • Recent monoamine oxidase (MAO)-I use (in the last 28 days), as it increases the risk for hypersensitivity and bone marrow suppression from carbamazepine.
  • Prior carbamazepine use that was discontinued for tolerability or adverse events, including a clinically significant decrease in platelets, white blood cells, or hemoglobin.
  • Any of the following clinical laboratory test results at the Screening Visit or Check-in (Day -1), which can be confirmed by a single repeat measurement:
  • Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) > upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • Total bilirubin >1.5 × ULN. If Gilbert's syndrome is suspected, total bilirubin > ULN is acceptable if the conjugated or direct bilirubin fraction is <20% of total bilirubin, and eligibility is confirmed following discussion with the medical monitor.
  • Any of the following clinical laboratory test results at the Screening Visit or Check-in (Day -1), which can be confirmed by a single repeat measurement:
  • Platelets, white blood cell count, absolute neutrophil count, or hemoglobin < lower limit of normal (LLN)
  • Serum sodium < LLN
  • Note: Other protocol-defined exclusion criteria may apply.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Darigabat Followed by Darigabat + CarbamazepineExperimentalParticipants will receive darigabat tablet orally once on Day 1 of Treatment Period 1. Participants will receive carbamazepine tablets, titrated up to a steady-state dose, orally, twice daily (BID) from Day 1 to 17 along with the darigabat tablet orally once on Day 16 of Treatment Period 2.
Receives: Drug: Darigabat; Drug: Carbamazepine

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Darigabat

    PK of darigabat will be analyzed both in the presence and absence of carbamazepine.

    Measured: Treatment Period 1: 15 minutes pre-dose on Day 1 and up to 48 hours post dose; Treatment Period 2: 15 minutes pre-dose on Day 16 and up to 48 hours post dose

  2. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve up to the Last Specified Sampling Time (AUC0-t) of Darigabat

    PK of darigabat will be analyzed both in the presence and absence of carbamazepine.

    Measured: Treatment Period 1: 15 minutes pre-dose on Day 1 and up to 48 hours post dose; Treatment Period 2: 15 minutes pre-dose on Day 16 and up to 48 hours post dose

  3. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time 0 to Infinity (AUCinf) of Darigabat

    PK of darigabat will be analyzed both in the presence and absence of carbamazepine.

    Measured: Treatment Period 1: 15 minutes pre-dose on Day 1 and up to 48 hours post dose; Treatment Period 2: 15 minutes pre-dose on Day 16 and up to 48 hours post dose

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    Measured: Up to Day 52

  2. Number of Participants with Clinically Significant Changes in Electrocardiogram (ECG) Values

    Measured: Up to Day 21

  3. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Changes in Vital Sign Values

    Measured: Up to Day 21

  4. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Changes in Clinical Laboratory Assessments

    Measured: Up to Day 21

  5. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Changes in Physical and Neurological Examination Results

    Measured: Up to Day 21

  6. Changes in Suicidality Assessed Using the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)

    The C-SSRS includes 'yes' or 'no' responses for assessment of suicidal ideation and behavior as well as numeric ratings for severity of ideation, if present (from 1 to 5, with 5 being the most severe). Greater lethality or potential lethality of suicidal behaviors (endorsed on the behavior subscale) indicates increased risk.

    Measured: Up to Day 21

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Darigabat and Carbamazepine in people with Healthy Participants, run by Cerevel Therapeutics, LLC 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 7 inclusion and 20 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 3 Aug 2023. 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?

Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Darigabat (time frame: Treatment Period 1: 15 minutes pre-dose on Day 1 and up to 48 hours post dose; Treatment Period 2: 15 minutes pre-dose on Day 16 and up to 48 hours post dose). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 3 Aug 2023.
