Popis: Isolated REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a potentially injurious parasomnia lacking an established treatment. Ulotaront is a trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1) agonist with 5-HTYoung healthy adult men (ages 19-35) were randomized to double-blind, cross-over treatment (after 7-day wash-out) with single doses of ulotaront (50 mg or 10 mg) versus placebo followed by polysomnography (PSG) on each of the nights following treatment. Quantitative RSWA was analyzed in a blinded fashion using established visual and automated methods.Subjects received 50 mg (n = 11) or 10 mg (n = 9) of ulotaront. Treatment with ulotaront 50 mg was associated with lower RSWA (p 0.05), with greatest RSWA reduction (vs. placebo) observed in subjects with RSWA levels above the mean on the baseline night. RSWA levels were similar between treatment with ulotaront 10 mg and placebo.Treatment with ulotaront 50 mg (but not 10 mg) was associated with reductions in RSWA levels in healthy subjects, especially in subjects with higher baseline RSWA levels, providing proof-of-concept for ulotaront efficacy in reducing RSWA levels. However, whether ulotaront might have efficacy as a treatment for human RBD awaits double-blind trials with ulotaront in clinical RBD populations.
