Trial Summary

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

Yes, you will need to stop taking any prescription drugs 14 days before the study and any nonprescription drugs, supplements, or vitamins 7 days before the study, except for acetaminophen at a dose of 2000 mg/day or less.

What safety data exists for the treatment known as NPT 2042 or FTY720?

FTY720, also known as fingolimod, has been used in patients with multiple sclerosis and has shown a tolerable safety profile in clinical trials. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, fatigue, and infections like the flu, with specific concerns about heart monitoring due to potential cardiotoxicity. It has been well-tolerated in combination with other drugs for transplant patients, and its effect on reducing certain blood cells is specific to lymphocytes.12345

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial is testing a new drug, NPT 2042, on healthy adults to ensure it is safe. The goal is to eventually use it to help people with epilepsy who don't respond to current treatments by reducing their seizures.
