Summary

The aim of this study is to relate pharmacokinetics of two different formulations of quetiapine to PET measured receptor occupancy in the brains of healthy subjects.

Clinical Details

Official title: An Open Label, 1-Sequence Cross-Over, Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Study With [11C]Raclopride to Determine Central D2 Dopamine Receptor Occupancy of Quetiapine Fumarate Immediate Release (SEROQUEL®) With Quetiapine Fumarate Extended Release (SEROQUEL XR®) in Healthy Male Volunteers
