A Study to Evaluate Central Nervous System (CNS) Pharmacodynamic Activity of TAK-653 in Healthy Participants Using Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)

Healthy Volunteers Clinical Trial

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-Controlled, 3-Period Crossover Study Followed by 1 Open-label Comparator Period to Evaluate Central Nervous System Pharmacodynamic Activity of TAK-653 in Healthy Volunteers Using Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether TAK-653, in comparison to placebo, increases CNS excitability, assessed with TMS-evoked motor-evoked potential (MEP) in healthy participants.

Clinical Trial Description

The drug being tested in this study is called TAK-653. This study is designed to evaluate the central pharmacodynamic activity of TAK-653 using TMS. The study will enroll approximately 24 participants to yield 22 participants that complete treatment periods 1, 2, and 3. Participants will be randomly assigned to 1 of the 6 sequences to receive TAK-653 0.5 mg low dose or TAK-653 6 mg high dose or Placebo in double-blind treatment periods 1, 2, and 3, followed by Ketamine 0.5 mg/kg in open-label Treatment period 4.

All participants will receive one dose of TAK-653 (0.5 or 6 mg), or Placebo or Ketamine on Day 1 of each treatment period.

This single center trial will be conducted in the Netherlands. The overall time to participate in this study is 15 weeks. Participants will make 5 visits to the clinic. A washout period of minimum 10 days will be maintained between the doses in treatment periods 1 to 3. Follow-up phone call will be made on Day 14. ;
