Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Aim 1a: Brain activity
30 minutes after oxytocin/placebo administration

Scanning procedures for functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) will include a functional scan during a social cognition task and structural connectivity during rest

Aim 1b: Performance on a social cognition test
45 mins after oxytocin/placebo administration

Participants will complete a task evaluating emotional expressions (either happy expressions, fear expressions or neutral expressions). These stimuli are identical to those published previously by Leknes et al., (2012).

Aim 1c: Heart rate variability
20 minutes after oxytocin placebo administration

Electrocardiogram data will be collected to assess heart rate variability, a measure of cardiac autonomic function.

Aim 1d: Eyetracking
20 minutes after oxytocin placebo administration

An eyetracking device will measure eyegaze and pupillometry.

Secondary Endpoints

5 minutes prior to oxytocin/placebo administration
Plasma concentration of cortisol

ArmTypeDescription
1 international unit (IU) intravenous oxytocinACTIVE_COMPARATORUsing a double-dummy design participants will be administered 1 IU oxytocin (mixed in 200 ml 0.9% sodium chloride) slow infusion with varying infusion rate over 20 minutes and placebo delivered with the OptiNose Breath Powered Bi-Directional liquid device. Subject to pilot data this may be increased to 2 IU oxytocin (mixed in 200 ml 0.9% sodium chloride) and the infusion time/rate may change to best match the pharmacokinetic profile of intranasally administered oxytocin.
PlaceboPLACEBO_COMPARATORUsing a double-dummy design participants will be administered Placebo delivered with the OptiNose Breath Powered Bi-Directional liquid device and placebo delivered intravenously (0.9% sodium chloride 200 ml slow infusion for 20 minutes)
8IU intranasal oxytocinEXPERIMENTALUsing a double-dummy design participants will be administered 8IU oxytocin liquid delivered with the OptiNose Breath Powered Bi directional liquid device and IV placebo (0.9% sodium chloride, 200 ml slow infusion for 20 minutes)
24IU intranasal oxytocinEXPERIMENTALUsing a double-dummy design participants will be administered 24IU oxytocin liquid delivered with the OptiNose Breath Powered Bi directional liquid device and IV placebo (0.9% sodium chloride, 200 ml slow infusion for 20 minutes)
