NCT ID NCT05470101
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-stage study tested a single dose of the experimental drug ITI-333 in 12 healthy adults. Researchers used brain scans to see how much of the drug attached to a specific receptor (5-HT2A) in the brain. They also checked safety, side effects, and how the drug moves through the body. The goal was to gather basic information, not to treat any disease.
