Frequently asked questions about ABP688

What is ABP688 used for in depression?

ABP688 is an investigational small molecule being studied for use in depression. It is a positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracer, labeled with carbon-11, intended to characterize the regional distribution of a target in the brain. It is currently in Phase 1 clinical development and is not approved by the FDA.

What does ABP688 target?

ABP688 is a PET radiotracer that binds to metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 5 (mGluR5). It is used to visualize and characterize the regional distribution of mGluR5 in the brain by positron emission tomography. This target is relevant to psychiatric conditions such as depression.

Who makes ABP688?

ABP688 is being developed by Novartis AG, a multinational pharmaceutical company traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol NVS. The company is conducting clinical research to evaluate the drug's use as a PET imaging agent in depression.

What phase is ABP688 in?

ABP688 is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by the FDA. One Phase 1 trial has been completed, involving 42 participants, to characterize the regional distribution of the radiotracer in the brain.

What clinical trials is ABP688 in?

ABP688 has one completed clinical trial registered under NCT01528241, titled 'Characterize the Regional Distribution of [11C] ABP688 in Brain by Positron Emission Tomography (PET)'. This Phase 1 study enrolled 42 participants in the United States, including healthy volunteers aged 55 years and older.
