New brain drug ITI-333 tested in healthy volunteers for first time
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.

Inclusion Criteria: * Healthy male and female subjects between 18 and 45 years old (inclusive); * BMI inclusive of 18.0-32.0 kg/m2 at screening and a minimum weight of 50 kg; * Willing to be confined to the clinical research unit for the duration of the inpatient period of the study; Exclusion Criteria: * Clinically significant abnormality within 2 years of Screening that in the Investigator's opinion may place the subject at risk or interfere with study outcome variables; this includes, but is not limited to, history of or current cardiac, hepatic, renal, neurologic, gastrointestinal (including history of gastric bypass), pulmonary, endocrinologic, hematologic, or immunologic disease or history of malignancy; * Clinically significant abnormal findings in vital sign assessments, including blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) \< 96% and respiratory rate \< 12 breaths per min; * History of psychiatric condition that in the Investigator's opinion may be detrimental to participation in the study; * Any condition which would preclude MRI or PET/CT examination (eg, implanted metal, claustrophobia, unable to fit in PET/CT or MRI scanners).
