Information source: GlaxoSmithKline

Link to the current ClinicalTrials.gov record.

Condition(s) targeted: Schizophrenia

Intervention: [123]I-CNS 1261 (Drug); Lorazepam (Drug); Risperidone (Drug)

Phase: Phase 1

Status: Terminated

Sponsored by: GlaxoSmithKline

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):
GSK Clinical Trials, MD, Study Director, Affiliation: GlaxoSmithKline

Summary

This study was designed to compare the [123]I-CNS 1261 binding to NMDA receptor between healthy volunteers and different subgroups of schizophrenic patients. Investigation of the potential influence of antipsychotic and concomitant medication on [123I] CNS 1261 binding is also relevant. Fifteen healthy subjects (male and female of non-child bearing potential) will be recruited and 40 schizophrenic patients divided in 3 subgroups as indicated before: Subgroup a) treatment-naive, (n=10); Subgroup b) on stable treatment with risperidone (without criteria of deficit syndrome on the SDS scale, (n=15);Subgroup c) on stable treatment with risperidone fitting criteria of deficit syndrome on the SDS scale, (n=15).

Clinical Details

Official title: Investigation of the NMDA Receptor System in Man as a Potential Surrogate Marker for Deficit Syndrome in Schizophrenia: a [123]I-CNS 1261 Single Photon Emission Tomography (SPET) Study

Study design: Allocation: Non-Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Pharmacodynamics Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Diagnostic

Primary outcome: CNS (Central Nervous System) 1261 binding differences in healthy volunteers and 3 different predefined subgroups of schizophrenic patients and in the 3 different subgroups of schizophrenic patients.

Secondary outcome: Effect of treatment with risperidone and lorazepam in inducing changes on [123]I CNS 1261 binding, and its relationship with the plasma concentration of administered drugs and with Psychopathological scales scores.
