Generic selegiline patch put to the test in healthy volunteers
NCT ID NCT07571824
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study compares a new generic selegiline skin patch to the brand-name EMSAM® patch in 92 healthy adults. Researchers measure how much drug enters the bloodstream and how well the patch sticks to the skin over 24 hours. The goal is to see if the generic version works just as well as the original.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- selegiline transdermal patch
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a lower-cost generic version of the selegiline patch for treating depression or Parkinson's disease.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase study in healthy volunteers, not patients. It only checks if the generic patch delivers the same drug dose and sticks well—it does not test effectiveness for any disease.
