Study summary

The XEN1101 Phase 1 clinical trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study that will evaluate the safety, tolerability and PK of both single ascending doses (SAD) and multiple ascending doses (MAD) of XEN1101 in healthy subjects. In addition to safety and PK data, the clinical trial has been designed to include a pharmacodynamic read-out by incorporating a pilot transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) sub-study. The TMS model sub-study is designed to demonstrate delivery of XEN1101 into the central nervous system and to observe a change in cortical excitability as measured by EEG and/or electromyographic (EMG) activity.

Part 3, 4 and 5: Phase 1, randomised, multi part study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, relative bioavailability and food effect of single and multiple ascending doses of XEN1101 and Preliminary Drug-Drug Interaction Assessment with Itraconazole.

Read the detailed description

Part 1 will study safety, tolerability, PK of single ascending doses (SAD) of XPF-008 as well as the impact and variability of single ascending doses of XPF-008 on TMS.

Part 2 will study the safety, tolerability and PK of multiple ascending doses (MAD) of XPF-008

Part 3 will explore dose proportionality of XPF-010 and confirm dosing for subsequent cohorts, and the food effect and relative bioavailability of XPF-010 compared to XPF-008.

Part 4 will explore multiple dose PK.

Part 5 will explore the drug-drug interaction of XPF-010, when given with itraconazole.

Eligibility criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • Healthy male or females aged between 18 and 55 years inclusive with a (BMI) between 18.50 and 30.00 kg/m2
  • Must agree to use effective methods of , if applicable
  • Able to swallow capsules
  • Able to provide written, personally signed and dated form (ICF)

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • Any history of epileptic seizures
  • Any current and relevant history of significant disease or disorder which, in the opinion of the investigator, may either put the subject at risk, affect clinical or laboratory results, or the subject's ability to participate in the study
  • Answering "yes" to any of the questions within the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale
  • Mental incapacity or lingual barriers precluding adequate understanding, cooperation, and compliance with the study
  • No prescription or over-the-counter (OTC) medications (except hormonal contraception), herbal or dietary supplements OTC medications 14 days prior to dosing to study end
  • No smoking 60 days prior to dosing to study end
  • No soft drugs 3 months prior to Screening and hard drugs 2 years prior to Screening
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

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.

BMI (body mass index)

Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.

What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

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.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

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 May 11, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
