FSD Pharma has completed dosing the first cohort of patients in a Phase I clinical trial of Lucid-21-302 (Lucid-MS), a non-immunomodulatory agent, for multiple sclerosis (MS) treatment.
A wholly owned subsidiary of FSD Pharma, Lucid Psycheceuticals will conduct the study of Lucid-MS as a new drug candidate to treat MS.
The first-in-human, placebo-controlled, randomised, double-blind study will include five single-ascending dose (SAD) and two multiple-ascending dose (MAD) cohorts each with eight subjects.
A total of 56 subjects will be randomised into six active and two placebo groups.
Single or multiple doses of Lucid-MS will be given to subjects in the active group while all eight participants of the SAD cohort with food effect will receive Lucid-MS.
Evaluating the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of the neuroprotective compound, Lucid-MS, in healthy participants under fed and fasted conditions is the primary outcome of the study.
