Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Participants will be confined at the site during the dosing period where dosing will be done via direct supervision and they can only participate in one of the following parts:
- Part A (oral capsule; screening/ baseline period of up to 28 days with total duration up to 39 days): single ascending doses of PRAX-562 between 2.5 mg and 90 mg (increases of no more than 3 times the previous dose will be based on safety and tolerability at each dose level) or placebo (Day 1) administered under fasting conditions
- Part B (oral capsule; screening/ baseline period of up to 28 days with total duration up to 47 days): single daily doses of up to 90 mg PRAX-562* or placebo (Day 1-14) administered under fasting conditions
- Part C (oral capsule; screening/ baseline period of up to 28 days with total duration up to 50 days): up to 90 mg PRAX-562* (Day 1 and 8) both fasted (no food or drink, except water, for at least 10 hours prior to dosing) and fed (30 minutes after a high-fat, high-calorie meal where approximately 50% of the calories will be from fat) in a randomized order
*Exact dose of PRAX-562 for Parts B and C will be based on safety, tolerability and PK data from Part A

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 323829 0
Part A and B: Safety and tolerability of PRAX-562 will be assessed as a composite endpoint through an integrated analysis of the following: patient and clinician-reported adverse events, vital signs, clinical laboratory results (chemistry, haematology, urinalysis), electrocardiogram (ECG), and Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)
Timepoint [1] 323829 0
Part A: Baseline, Day -1 to Day 6 (daily), Day 9 Part B: Baseline, Day -1 to Day 19 (daily), Day 24. This change was made after enrolment of 88 participants.
Primary outcome [2] 323830 0
Part C: The effects of food on pharmacokinetics will be performed by LC/MS quantification of PRAX-562 levels in plasma. Parameters include plasma concentrations and accumulation ratios (Cmax, tmax, AUC)
Timepoint [2] 323830 0
Part C: predose and 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96 and 120 hours post dose.
Secondary outcome [1] 383003 0
Pharmacokinetics will be performed by LC/MS quantification of PRAX-562 levels in plasma. Parameters include plasma concentrations and accumulation ratios (Cmax, tmax, AUC, t1/2).
Timepoint [1] 383003 0
Part A: predose and 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96 and 120 hours post dose.
Part B: 1: predose and 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96 and 120 hours post dose.
Secondary outcome [2] 383004 0
Part C: Safety and tolerability of PRAX-562 will be assessed as a composite endpoint through an integrated analysis of the following: patient and clinician-reported adverse events, vital signs, clinical laboratory results (chemistry, haematology, urinalysis), electrocardiogram (ECG), and Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)
Timepoint [2] 383004 0
Part C: Baseline, Day -1 to Day 13 (daily), Day 17
