Insomnia pill meets antidepressant: safety check underway
NCT ID NCT06680531
First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study examines whether a new insomnia drug, YZJ-1139, can be safely taken with the antidepressant escitalopram. Healthy adults aged 18 to 45 will receive both drugs and be monitored for side effects, drug levels in the blood, and changes in eye movements, balance, and thinking. The goal is to understand if combining these medications causes any unwanted interactions.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- YZJ-1139 tablets and escitalopram oxalate tablets
- What this could lead to
- If safe together, this could guide future use of YZJ-1139 in people who also take antidepressants like escitalopram.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase study in healthy volunteers, not patients. Results may not predict real-world safety or effectiveness.
