Frequently asked questions about PF-05212377

What is PF-05212377?

PF-05212377 is an investigational small molecule developed by Pfizer, Inc. It is a selective antagonist of the HTR6 receptor, also known as the 5-HT6 serotonin receptor. The compound has been studied in Phase 1 clinical trials involving healthy volunteers, and its clinical development has focused on early-stage safety, tolerability, and brain distribution assessments.

What does PF-05212377 target?

PF-05212377 targets HTR6, the serotonin 5-HT6 receptor, and acts as an antagonist at this site. By blocking HTR6, the compound was designed to modulate serotonin signaling in the brain. Preclinical and clinical work characterized its receptor binding and brain penetration using positron emission tomography imaging in healthy volunteers.

Who makes PF-05212377?

PF-05212377 is developed by Pfizer, Inc., which trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker PFE. Pfizer sponsored the Phase 1 clinical program for the compound, including studies conducted in the United States and France. The molecule is also referenced in the literature and trial records as SAM-760.

What phase is PF-05212377 in?

PF-05212377 is in Phase 1 clinical development. All four recorded trials for the compound are Phase 1 studies, and all four are completed. The program enrolled a total of 114 participants across these trials, which were randomized, double-blind, and controlled, and involved healthy volunteers rather than patients with a disclosed disease.

What clinical trials is PF-05212377 in?

PF-05212377 has been evaluated in four completed Phase 1 trials. These include NCT02005991, a PET study of brain distribution; NCT01258751, which examined plasma drug levels and brain receptor binding; NCT01213355, a scopolamine challenge study; and NCT01159496, a multiple ascending dose study of safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics. Enrollment ranged from 4 to 60 participants.

Is PF-05212377 the same as SAM-760?

Yes, PF-05212377 is also known as SAM-760. Both names refer to the same Pfizer small molecule, an HTR6 antagonist studied in Phase 1 trials. Trial records for NCT01159496 list the compound under both designations, so searches using either name point to the same investigational asset and clinical program.
