Study summary

This Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging study is designed to explore the relationship between HT-0712 dose level and inhibition of brain phosphodiesterase-4 activity, in order to optimize the dosage regimens utilized in subsequent trials.

Read the detailed description

The objective of this project is to demonstrate the inhibition of human brain PDE4 by HT-0712, by measuring the inhibition of [11C]R-rolipram binding, a radiotracer which also binds to and inhibits PDE4. Plasma samples will be drawn to determine if there is a relationship between plasma pharmacokinetics of HT-0712 and its pharmacodynamic effect, as determined through the inhibition of [11C]R-rolipram binding in the brain.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. PET measurement of HT-0712 inhibition of [11C]R-rolipram binding

    To demonstrate Central Nervous System (CNS) exposure and dose-related inhibition of \[11C\]R-rolipram binding in brain regions of interest by HT-0712 when compared to baseline \[11C\]R-rolipram binding in the same individual.

    Time frame: 1 day

Secondary outcomes

  1. Brain uptake of [11C]R-rolipram, as determined by PET imaging, associated with both maximal plasma concentration of HT-0712 (Tmax) and overall plasma level exposure (AUC) following administration of different dose levels of HT-0712.

    Time-activity curves and plasma AUC will be assessed for \[11C\]R-rolipram at baseline and at 4-hours post oral administration of HT-0712.

    Time frame: 1 day
