Frequently asked questions about Duloxetine

What is Duloxetine?

Duloxetine is a small molecule drug developed by Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd. It is being studied in Phase 1 clinical development. The specific medical conditions it is intended to treat have not been disclosed. Duloxetine is a generic-name medication, and Dr. Reddy's Laboratories is listed under the ticker RDY.

What does Duloxetine target?

Duloxetine targets SLC6A2 and SLC6A4. It acts as an inhibitor of these targets. SLC6A2 and SLC6A4 are transporter proteins involved in neurotransmitter reuptake. By inhibiting them, Duloxetine modulates neurotransmitter signaling. This mechanism underlies its classification as a small molecule inhibitor developed by Dr. Reddy's Laboratories.

Who makes Duloxetine?

Duloxetine is developed by Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd, which trades under the ticker RDY. The company is listed as the developer of this small molecule drug candidate. Dr. Reddy's Laboratories is conducting clinical development of Duloxetine, with two completed Phase 1 trials registered to date.

What phase is Duloxetine in?

Duloxetine is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and is not approved. Two Phase 1 trials have been completed, and no active trials are currently listed. The completed trials enrolled a total of 152 participants and evaluated bioavailability under fasting and fed conditions.

What clinical trials is Duloxetine in?

Two completed Phase 1 trials of Duloxetine are registered: NCT02291367, a bioavailability study of delayed-release capsules under fasting conditions, and NCT02291341, a bioavailability study under fed conditions. Both enrolled 76 healthy volunteers in India, were randomized and active-controlled, with participants aged 18 years and older.

Is Duloxetine the same as other duloxetine products?

Duloxetine is the generic name for the drug substance. Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd is developing this version under the Duloxetine name. The two registered trials, NCT02291367 and NCT02291341, evaluate delayed-release capsules of 60 mg under fasting and fed conditions, consistent with a generic bioavailability program.
