Summary

This study aimed to explore the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of low dose sertraline with [11C] sertraline positron emission tomography (PET) study.

Clinical Details

Official title: [11C] Sertraline PET Imaging Study That Investigates Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Sertraline After Low Dose Administration

Study design: Allocation: Non-Randomized, Control: Uncontrolled, Endpoint Classification: Pharmacokinetics/Dynamics Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome: Serotonin receptor occupancy

Secondary outcome: Plasma concentration of sertraline

Detailed description: Open, one arm, single sequence, 3-period, dose escalating study for healthy volunteers are investigated. Ten subjects may be enrolled.

Subjects receive baseline [11C] sertraline PET.

Period 1 Subjects receive 5 mg of sertraline every day. After 6 day of medication, pharmacokinetic and PET studies are performed.

Period 2 Subjects receive 25 mg of sertraline every day. After 6 day of medication, pharmacokinetic and PET studies are performed.

Period 3 Subjects receive 50 mg of sertraline every day. After 6 day of medication, pharmacokinetic and PET studies are performed.
