Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study in patients with schizophrenia is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of 3 doses (low, mid, high) of APN1125 compared with placebo when administered as repeated daily oral doses.


Description:

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety profile, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of APN1125 following 14 days of once-daily oral dosing in subjects with schizophrenia on stable second-generation antipsychotic therapy.

This is a randomized, double-blind, 2-week, multiple ascending dose study of APN1125. This study will enroll up to three sequential cohorts of subjects diagnosed with schizophrenia, each randomly assigned to receive one of three doses (low, medium, or high) of APN1125 or matching placebo. Following admission to an Early Phase Clinical Unit (EPCU), APN1125 will be administered once daily for 2 weeks. All subjects will remain confined to the EPCU for a total of 20 days, consisting of admission, dosing and observation periods.

Eligibility Inclusion Criteria:

- Males and females of any race

- 18 to 45 years of age, inclusive

- Diagnosed with schizophrenia, as defined in Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), in a non-acute (e.g., chronic) phase and clinically stable for at least 12 weeks before screening

- Currently on a stable second-generation anti-psychotic regimen (stable dose and medication for 12 weeks)

Exclusion Criteria:

- Clinically significant abnormal serum electrolytes (sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium) after repeat testing

- Insulin-dependent diabetes or insufficiently controlled diabetes mellitus in the judgment of the Investigator

- Clinically significant abnormality on Screening or Baseline electrocardiogram (ECG), including but not necessarily limited to a confirmed QTcF (QT interval corrected for heart rate using Fridericia's formula) interval value >450 msec for males or >470 msec for females

- Current treatment with more than 2 atypical antipsychotics Psychiatric hospitalization due to breakthrough psychotic symptoms or acute exacerbations within 3 months before Day -1. Subjects with a recent "social" hospitalization may be screened after consultation with the Medical Monitor.

- Subjects with other DSM-5 disorders are ineligible if the comorbid condition is clinically unstable or has been the primary focus of treatment within 3 months prior to Screening

- Subjects meeting DSM-5 criteria for moderate to severe alcohol or substance use disorder (other than nicotine- or caffeine-related disorders) within 6 months prior to Screening

- Urine drug screen (UDS) positive for drugs of abuse (excluding prescribed benzodiazepines) or positive alcohol breath test at Screening and/or Baseline (may be repeated once if, in the judgment of the Investigator, the subject does not meet DSM-5 criteria for moderate to severe substance abuse disorder)

- Significant suicide risk as defined by 1) suicidal ideations as endorsed on items 4 or 5 on the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) within the year prior to Screening or Baseline, 2) suicidal behaviors within the 2 years prior to Screening, or 3) Investigator assessment

- History of stroke, brain tumor, subdural hematoma, Parkinson's Disease, dementia or other clinically significant neurological condition

- Head trauma with loss of consciousness within 12 months prior to Screening

- Active acute or chronic CNS infection

- History of a seizure disorder

- Immunosuppressants, including systemic corticosteroids (administered at an immunosuppressant dose in the judgment of the Investigator) (Note: Inhaled, nasal, or topical steroid use for allergy or other inflammation is permitted)

- Any drugs with CNS activity (Note: Occasional (as needed) use of a sedative-hypnotic (e.g., benzodiazepine or nonbenzodiazepine [e.g., zolpidem, zaleplon, zopiclone, and eszopiclone]) as a sleep aid and stable second generation psychotics are permitted)

- Prohibited antipsychotic medications (e.g., clozapine or typical, first-generation antipsychotics)

- Excessive alcohol consumption (regular alcohol intake 14 units per week or more) or has a history of alcohol use disorder. Use of alcohol up to 48 hours before admission to the EPCU is not allowed.

- Failure or inability to perform Screening or Baseline assessments

- Exposure to an experimental drug or experimental medical device within 2 months before Screening, or an experimental biologic within 3 months before Screening
