Study Summary

This trial tests a drug to see how it affects opioid receptors in the brain in healthy adults.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for healthy adults aged 18-55 with a BMI of 18.5 to 32 kg/m^2 and weight over 50 kg. Participants must not have any significant medical conditions, recent COVID-19 infection or vaccination, drug/alcohol abuse history within the last year, or be on prohibited medications. Men must agree to use contraception during the trial.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests how well CVL-354 occupies kappa and mu opioid receptors in the brain after oral dosing in healthy participants. It involves PET scans using [11C]-LY2795050 and [11C]-carfentanil to measure this target occupancy.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are not detailed but may include typical reactions from PET imaging agents like discomfort at injection site or allergic reactions, as well as any unforeseen effects of CVL-354 on brain function.

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Part B: Mu Opioid Receptor (MOR) CohortExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Part B will commence after Part A cohort is completed. Participants will receive single dose of CVL-354 150 mg, orally, on Day 1 along with [11C]-carfentanil, IV bolus injection of up to 20 mCi before the baseline and post-dose PET scans. Based on the MOR RO results from this cohort, dosing may be explored further in subsequent cohorts.
Group II: Part A: Kappa Opioid Receptor (KOR) CohortExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants will receive single dose of CVL-354, 25 mg, orally, on Day 1 along with [11C]-LY2795050, intravenous (IV) bolus injection of up to 20 millicurie (mCi) before the baseline and post-dose PET scans. Based on the KOR receptor occupancy (RO) results from this cohort, dosing may be explored further in subsequent cohorts.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Does this experiment have an age restriction for participants?

"This specific clinical trial is only open to those within the age range of 18-55. For individuals younger than 18, there are 22 trials available and 241 options for applicants over 65 years old."

Answered by AI

Am I eligible to be a participant in this experiment?

"24 participants are required for this trial, with all candidates needing to possess opioid use disorder (OUD) and a chronological age between 18-55 years."

Answered by AI

What potential perils can be associated with participating in the Part A: Kappa Opioid Receptor (KOR) Cohort?

"The safety of Part A: Kappa Opioid Receptor (KOR) Cohort is estimated to be a 1, given it is only in the earliest phase of clinical trials and has scant evidence regarding its efficacy and security."

Answered by AI

Are there any vacancies left for individuals to participate in this medical trial?

"Based on clinicaltrials.gov, this particular trial is no longer accepting candidates. Initially posted in December of 2022, the study was edited for the last time that same month; however, 292 other studies are currently open to enrollment."
