RE104 for Healthy Volunteers
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial aims to understand how the body absorbs, breaks down, and eliminates a new drug, RE104, in healthy volunteers. Researchers will track the drug and its breakdown products in blood, urine, and feces for about a week after a single injection. The trial seeks healthy individuals willing to try a drug with mind-altering effects. Interested participants should have no personal or family history of certain mental health disorders. As a Phase 1 trial, this research focuses on understanding how the treatment works in people, offering participants the unique opportunity to be among the first to receive this new drug.
Do I need to stop my current medications to join the trial?
The trial information does not specify if you need to stop your current medications, but it mentions that you should not use prohibited medications. It's best to discuss your current medications with the trial team to see if they are allowed.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this treatment is likely to be safe for humans?
Research has shown that RE104 has been tested for safety in healthy adults. Studies found that a single dose of up to 30 mg, administered just under the skin, is generally safe and well-tolerated. Participants did not report any serious side effects. Comparisons with current treatments for postpartum depression suggest that RE104 might be safer or cause fewer side effects. While these findings are promising, they come from early trials. More research is needed to fully understand the safety of RE104.12345
Why are researchers excited about this study treatment?
Researchers are excited about 2-[14C]-RE104 because it offers a unique approach compared to current treatments. Unlike traditional options, this drug uses a radiolabeled compound, which allows scientists to track how the body processes it. This innovative feature could provide deeper insights into the drug's absorption, distribution, and elimination, potentially leading to more effective dosing and improved safety profiles. Additionally, the subcutaneous injection method is designed to ensure precise delivery, which could enhance its effectiveness and reduce side effects.
What evidence suggests that RE104 is effective for healthy volunteers?
Research has shown that RE104 is a promising new treatment under study for its quick and long-lasting psychedelic effects. In this trial, healthy volunteers will receive a single 30 mg dose of 2-[14C]-RE104, administered just under the skin, which previous studies generally found to be well-tolerated. Early results suggest that RE104 might help treat depression by affecting serotonin, a brain chemical that regulates mood. The compound resembles 4-HO-DiPT, known for its short-lasting psychedelic effects, and may help manage depression symptoms. However, more evidence is needed to confirm its effectiveness for specific conditions like postpartum depression.23678
