ELE-101 Safety & Tolerability Study in Healthy Participants and Patients With Depression

Brief Summary

A study to assess the safety and tolerability of a drug called ELE-101 and see how the body absorbs and removes the drug and how it affects the body in healthy adult participants (Part 1) and in patients with depression (Part 2).

    This is a 2-part study. Part 1 is a phase I, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK) profile, pharmacodynamic (PD) and subjective drug intensity (SDI) of single ascending intravenous (IV) doses of ELE-101 in healthy male and female adult participants. Part 2 is a Phase IIa, open-label study to evaluate a range of pharmacodynamic effects of a single intravenous dose of ELE-101 in patients with depression.

    Healthy participants will receive either ELE-101 or placebo as an IV infusion in Part 1 and patients with MDD will receive ELE-101 as an IV infusion in Part 2.

    Participant Groups

    • A single 10-minute intravenous infusion of 0.25 mg ELE-101 or placebo (randomized as 6 active and 2 placebo)

    • A single 10-minute intravenous infusion of 0.75 mg ELE-101 or placebo (randomized as 6 active and 2 placebo)

    • A single 10-minute intravenous infusion of 2.0 mg ELE-101 or placebo (randomized as 6 active and 2 placebo)

    • A single TBD minute intravenous infusion of TBD mg ELE-101 or placebo (randomized as 6 active and 2 placebo)

    • A single TBD minute intravenous infusion of TBD mg ELE-101 or placebo (randomized as 6 active and 2 placebo)

    • A single TBD minute intravenous infusion of TBD mg ELE-101

    Eligibility Criteria

    * Participants have a body mass index (BMI) of 18 to 35 kg/m2, inclusive.
    * Participants are able and willing to give written informed consent, adhere to the compliance terms during participation in the study, undergo the examinations and testing set forth in the study Protocol and clearly and reliably communicate their subjective symptoms to the Investigator.
    * Part 2 Only: Patient has a diagnosis of MDD and is not on antidepressant medication.

    Exclusion Criteria:

    * Current, or history (within the last 6 months) of, alcohol or substance use disorder.
    * Use of pharmacological compounds for psychiatric or neurological conditions acting on the CNS within 30 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to Screening.

    Primary Outcomes
    • * Safety will be evaluated by the monitoring of adverse events (AEs), vital signs, blood pressure, heart rate, pulse oximetry, electrocardiogram (ECG) evaluations, clinical laboratory assessments, injection site reactions and physical examination findings. * Suicidal ideation and behavior will be evaluated using the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS). * Percentage of participants who experience at least one treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) will be captured. * Tolerability will be measured using the SDI questionnaires to rate the intensity of the psychedelic experience alongside recordings of anticipated adverse effects such as nausea and headache.

    • - The SDI questionnaire will be used to rate the real-time intensity of the psychedelic experience

    Secondary Outcomes
    • PK parameters in plasma will be calculated for psilocin and its primary metabolites throughout the study

    • PK parameters in plasma will be calculated for psilocin and its primary metabolites throughout the study

    • The dischargeability evaluation will be based on Investigator judgement after review of participant safety data.

    • The Subjective Drug Intensity (SDI) is a Visual Analogue Scale scored from 0-10.

    • The MADRS is a diagnostic questionnaire with ten items for measuring the severity of depressive episodes in patients with mood disorders. A higher MADRS score indicates more severe depression, and each item is scored from 0 to 6. The overall score ranges from 0 to 60.

    • * Safety will be evaluated by the monitoring of adverse events (AEs), vital signs, blood pressure, heart rate, pulse oximetry, electrocardiogram (ECG) evaluations, clinical laboratory assessments, injection site reactions and physical examination findings. * Suicidal ideation and behavior will be evaluated using the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS). * Percentage of participants who experience at least one treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) will be captured. * Tolerability will be measured using the SDI questionnaires to rate the intensity of the psychedelic experience alongside recordings of anticipated adverse effects such as nausea and headache.
