Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is a single center, open-label, fixed sequence, drug-drug interaction (DDI) study in healthy subjects.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: ecopipam HCL
  • Drug: Mefenamic acid
  • Drug: Divalproex Sodium ER
Phase 1

Detailed Description

Following a 28-day Screening period, eligible subjects will enter the clinical research unit (CRU) and will be enrolled into either Cohort A or B. Subjects in both cohorts will receive a single dose of ecopipam on Day 1. On Day 7, subjects will begin taking a UGT inhibitor according to their assigned cohort. Subjects in Cohort A will receive mefenamic acid 250 mg every 6 hours for 7 days, while subjects in Cohort B will receive divalproex sodium ER 1250 mg once a day for 10 days. A single oral dose of ecopipam will also be administered to Cohort A on Day 7, 1 hour after the first dose of mefenamic acid, and to Cohort B on Day 10, 1 hour after administration of divalproex sodium ER. Subjects in Cohort A will continue taking mefenamic acid through the evening of Day 13 and will remain in the CRU until discharged on Day 14/ET. Subjects in Cohort B will continue taking divalproex sodium ER through Day 16 and will remain in the CRU until discharge on Day 17/ET.
