Study summary

The APD916-001 study is designed primarily to evaluate the safety and tolerability of APD916 when administered as a single dose

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-dose escalation study of up to 9 dose cohorts (1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 30, 45, 70 and 90 mg) each comprising 8 subjects (2 to receive placebo, 6 to receive APD916). Each cohort will be assigned to receive a single dose of APD916. After dosing within the first cohort has been completed and safety data review identifies no tolerability issues, and the principal investigator (PI) and Sponsor have agreed that it is safe to proceed, then subjects in the next cohort may be dosed.

Inclusion criteria

  • Healthy males or females ages 18-45 years
  • Body weight of 50-100 kg (110-220 pounds)
  • Eligible female subjects will be non-pregnant, evidenced by a negative serum pregnancy test at Screening and a urine dipstick pregnancy test on Day -1 (Check-In); non-lactating; surgically sterile, , or agree to continue to use a medically accepted method of during and for at least 1 month after last study medication administration.
  • Eligible male subjects will either be surgically sterile (i.e., vasectomy), for at least 3 months prior to screening, or agree to use a condom with spermicide when sexually active with a female partner who is not using an acceptable method of birth control during the study and for 1 month after.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria

  • Subject who has donated any blood, or had significant blood loss within 56 days of dosing
  • History of smoking or tobacco use within 3 months prior to dosing
  • History of epilepsy or other seizure disorder
  • Recent history (within 2 years prior to the screening visit) of sleep disorders
  • History (within 2 years prior to the screening visit) of ADD or ADHD
  • Traveled across more than 3 time zones within 2 weeks prior to dosing
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Postmenopausal

Periods have stopped for good: usually no period for 12 months in a row without another medical reason, sometimes confirmed by a blood test (FSH).

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of single, escalating doses of APD916 when administered to healthy adult subjects

    Safety measures to include adverse events, vital signs, 12-lead ECGs, physical examinations, and clinical lab parameters.

    Time frame: Single dose

Secondary outcomes

  1. To assess the pharmacokinetic properties of single, escalating doses of APD916

    Pharmacokinetic samples (blood and urine) will be collected.

    Time frame: Single dose

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Nov 2, 2010, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
