ALKS 7119 is a novel compound with in vitro affinity highest for the SERT, and for μ receptor, αIn 10 cohorts (n = 10 subjects each), PK, safety and PD (NeuroCart tests, measuring neurophysiologic effects [pupillometry, pharmaco-EEG (pEEG)], visuomotor coordination, alertness, [sustained] attention [saccadic peak velocity, adaptive tracking], subjective drug effects [VAS Bowdle and VAS Bond and Lader] and postural stability [body sway]) were evaluated. Neuroendocrine effects (cortisol, prolactin, growth hormone) were measured. Data were analysed over the 12-hour post-dose period using mixed-effects model for repeated measure (MMRM) with baseline as covariate.ALKS 7119 demonstrated linear PK and was generally well tolerated. QTcF interval increases of 30-60 ms compared to baseline were observed with ALKS 7119 doses of ≥50 mg without related adverse events. Significant increases in left and right pupil/iris ratio were observed at dose levels ≥50 mg (estimate of difference [95% CI], P-value) (0.04 [0.01; 0.07], P .01) and (0.06 [0.03; 0.09], P = .01), respectively. From dose levels ≥50 mg significant increases (% change) of serum cortisol (51.7 [8.4; 112.3], P = .02) and prolactin (77.9 [34.2; 135.8], P .01) were observed.In line with ALKS 7119's in vitro pharmacological profile, the clinical profile observed in this study is most comparable to SERT inhibition. |
