Recruiting PHASE1, PHASE2 Clinical High Risk for Psychosis (CHR)

New treatment option for Clinical High Risk for Psychosis (CHR)

Official title A Study Exploring Changes in a Variety of Biomarkers Following Dosing With MT1988 in Participants at Clinical High Risk for Psychosis

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07226895

What this study is testing

What is MT1988 Low Dose?

MT1988 Low Dose is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for clinical high risk for psychosis (chr).

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how tests undertaken by people at high risk of developing psychosis (aged 17 to 30 years old) change when those people are given the study drug MT1988 daily for 8 weeks. This will help identify tests that could be used in later trials developing treatments for symptoms in people at high risk of developing psychosis, to measure whether those new treatments are effective.
  • Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
  • You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug.
