A Phase 1 interventional study of HTL0016878 in Healthy Subjects, sponsored by Nxera Pharma UK Limited. Completed at 1 site in United Kingdom. Open to male participants aged 18 Years to 55 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2021-04-19.
Sponsored by Nxera Pharma UK Limited · Phase 1, Interventional, and Treatment
A Phase 1, open-label, randomised, single oral dose study to determine the concentration of HTL0016878 in CSF and plasma in healthy male subjects following dosing with HTL0016878 10 mg or 20 mg oral solution
Up to 24 healthy subjects will be enrolled into 4 groups, with 6 subjects per group. Each subject will be randomised to receive a single oral dose of 10 mg or 20 mg HTL0016878 solution and will have a single CSF sample taken via lumbar puncture at either 2 or 6 hours post-dose. Pharmacokinetic blood sampling and safety measures will continue until 24 hours post-dose.
Nxera Pharma UK Limited is the lead sponsor of 14 studies on the registry; none are open to participants now.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.
Subject has a (BMI) of 18 to 32 kg/m2, inclusive. Healthy as determined by a responsible physician, based on medical evaluation including medical history, physical examination, concomitant medication, vital signs, 12-lead , C-SSRS responses, and clinical laboratory evaluations.
Willingness to comply with requirements or the trial, including requirements.
Able to give fully .
Exclusion Criteria:
Positive tests for \& C, . history of abnormal physical or mental health. Clinically relevant abnormal laboratory results (including hepatic and renal panels, complete blood count, chemistry or coagulation panel and urinalysis), 12-lead and vital signs, or physical findings.
History of severe adverse reactions or allergies, or history of an anaphylactic reaction to prescription or non-prescription medication or food.
Drug or alcohol abuse. Smoking. Use of medication that inhibits CYP2D6. Participation in other clinical trials of unlicensed medicines in the previous 3 months. Loss of more than 400 mL blood in the previous 3 months. Vital signs, interval or laboratory values outside the acceptable range. Predicted poor and intermediate CYP2D6 metabolisers. Clinically relevant abnormal findings at the screening assessment. History of epilepsy or seizures. Clinically relevant abnormal medical history or concurrent medical condition disease associated with cognitive impairment and/or psychosis. History of suicidal thoughts or ideation, or any history of insomnia. Use of tobacco and/or nicotine containing products within 90 days of dosing. Habitual and heavy consumption of caffeinated beverages. Consumption of cranberry, pomegranate, star fruit, grapefruit, pomelos, exotic citrus fruits or Seville oranges (including marmalade and juices made from these fruits) within 3 days before admission.

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.
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.
A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, taken with stickers on the chest, arms and legs. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.
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.
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.
Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.
Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.
The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.
Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.
Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.
On an ECG, the QT interval is the time the heart’s lower chambers take to activate electrically and recover in each beat. QTc is that time adjusted for heart rate (QTcF by Fridericia’s formula, QTcB by Bazett’s). Some medicines lengthen it, and a long QTc can raise the risk of a dangerous heart rhythm.
The study may name a correction formula and a limit in milliseconds, often around 450–480.
