Summary

This study is testing an experimental drug called MT1988 in 150 people aged 17 to 30 who are at high risk of developing psychosis. Participants take either a low dose, high dose, or placebo pill twice daily for 8 weeks. The main goal is to see if certain tests (like memory and symptom checklists) can detect changes caused by the drug, which will help design future larger trials.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
MT1988 (an experimental drug taken as a pill twice daily)
What this could lead to
If this trial works, it could point toward a treatment that reduces symptoms and improves thinking in people at high risk for psychosis.
What could go wrong
This is a very early (Phase 1/2) trial with only 150 people. The drug may not work better than placebo, and side effects are unknown. It is designed mainly to find good tests for future studies, not to prove the drug works.
