Official title
Electrophysiological Biomarkers of Kynurenine Pathway Modulator AV-101 in Healthy Volunteers: Treating Suicidal Veterans
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Suicide is 2-7x higher in Veterans than non-veterans, and may be related to brain kynurenine pathway (KP) dysregulation and NMDA receptor (NMDAR) hyperactivation. Experimental drug "AV-101" modulates the brain KP, with possible downstream NMDAR deactivation. The investigators will examine AV-101 NMDAR modulation by testing dose-response effects on resting state EEG, Mismatch Negativity, and P50 gating. Twelve healthy Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation New Dawn (OND) Veterans will be administered single dose AV-101 720 mg, 1440 mg, and placebo over 3 weeks in a randomized, double-blind, cross-over trial. Repeated measures General Linear Models will test dose-response effects. Suicide prevention is an important Veterans Affair (VA) mission. This study is a first step to testing anti-suicidal effects of AV-101 in Veterans.
