A Multiple Ascending Dose Study of BCI-838 in Healthy Volunteers
- Registration Number
- NCT01548703
- Lead Sponsor
- BrainCells Inc.
- Brief Summary
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of BCI-838 and its metabolite BCI-632 in healthy male and female subjects.
- Detailed Description
This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability following oral administration of multiple doses of BCI-838 in healthy male and female subjects. The pharmacokinetic profile of multiple oral doses of BCI-838 in healthy male and female subjects will also be assessed. In addition, the pharmacodynamic effects of BCI-838 on the central nervous system using quantitative electroencephalogram analysis will be studied.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Safety 14 days Safety will be evaluated by adverse events, vital signs, ECG, clinical labs, and physical exam.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Cmax, tmax, t1/2 , AUC, CL/F, Vz/F, and Kel of BCI-838 and BCI-632 predose, at specified timepoints during the 7-day dosing period, and at Day 10 (72 hours post-dose) The pharmacokinetics of BCI-838 and its metabolite BCI-632 will be completed by assessment of Cmax, tmax, t1/2 , AUC, CL/F, Vz/F, and Kel.
Quantitative EEG (qEEG) assessments predose, and at specified timepoints during the 7-day dosing period The pharmacodynamic effects of BCI-838 on the central nervous system will be evaluated using quantitative electroencephalogram analysis.
