Clinical Trial Summary

This phase 1 study will be conducted to examine the degree and duration of brain PDE2A enzyme occupancy /target engagement as a function of TAK-915 plasma concentration in order to guide dosing and schedule for future clinical studies in schizophrenia with TAK-915.

Description:

The drug being tested in this study is called TAK-915. TAK-915 is being tested to examine the degree and duration of brain phosphodiesterase 2A (PDE2A) enzyme occupancy/target engagement as a function of TAK-915 plasma concentration in order to guide dosing and schedule for future clinical studies in schizophrenia. This study will look at PDE2A brain enzyme occupancy in the putamen as a function of TAK-915 plasma concentration, as assessed using the positron emission tomography (PET) ligand [18F]MNI-794 after single dosing of TAK-915.

The study will enroll approximately 16 patients in total and within that total, allow up to 5 dose levels and up to 6 subjects per dose level. All participants will receive a single dose of TAK-915 on Day 1. The initial TAK-915 dose level to be studied is 100 mg. Subsequent dose levels may be lower or higher and will be determined through dose level review meetings (DLRMs) following approximately every 2 participants and based on prior occupancy, duration of occupancy, safety, tolerability, and available pharmacokinetic (PK) data.

This single center trial will be conducted in the United States. The overall time to participate in this study is up to 55 days. Participants will make multiple visits to the clinic, and will be contacted by telephone 22 days after last dose of study drug for a follow-up assessment.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Is a healthy male, or female of non-childbearing potential, aged between 18 and 55 years, inclusive.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Phosphodiesterase 2A (PDE2A) Brain Enzyme Occupancy in the Putamen as a Function of TAK-915 Plasma Concentration for each subject	Assessed for each subject using the PET ligand [18F]MNI-794 after single dosing of TAK-915, obtained from non-displaceable binding potential (BPnd).	2 PET scans occurring on Day 1 or 1 PET scan on Day 1 and 1 on Day 2.
Secondary	Plasma PK concentrations for each subject post tracer injection for each PET scan period following TAK-915 dosing		t=0, t=45 min and t=90 min (after tracer injection) during each PET scan period.
Secondary	Dose and exposure of TAK-915 that correspond to PDE2A occupancy in the putamen of at least 45%.		At multiple time points (up to 90 minutes after tracer injection) during each PET scan period.
