NCT ID NCT03844906

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This early-stage study tested a drug called SAGE-718 in 40 healthy adults. Researchers used a ketamine challenge to see how the drug affects brain electrical activity and safety. The goal was to gather basic information, not to treat any illness. This is a first step toward understanding if SAGE-718 might be useful for brain conditions in the future.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
SAGE-718
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help researchers understand how SAGE-718 affects brain activity, potentially guiding future studies for conditions like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's.
What could go wrong
This is a very early Phase 1 study in only 40 healthy people, not patients. It is designed to test safety and brain effects, not to treat any disease. Results may not lead to a treatment.
