Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Peak Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Ketamine and Norketamine
From pre-dose through the last measurable concentration, with plasma samples collected up to 36 hours post-dose.

Maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) of ketamine and norketamine following administration of study treatment. Plasma concentrations will be derived using non-compartmental analysis (NCA).

Terminal Elimination Half-Life (t½) of Ketamine and Norketamine
From pre-dose through the last measurable concentration, with plasma samples collected up to 36 hours post-dose.

Terminal elimination half-life (t½) of ketamine and norketamine calculated from the terminal phase of the plasma concentration-time curve using non-compartmental analysis.

Time to Peak Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of Ketamine and Norketamine
Pre-dose to 36 hours post-dose

Time to maximum observed plasma concentration (Tmax) of ketamine and norketamine following administration of study treatment.

Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve (AUC) of Ketamine and Norketamine
From pre-dose through the last measurable concentration, with plasma samples collected up to 36 hours post-dose.

Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to the last measurable concentration (AUC₀-t) and extrapolated to infinity (AUC∞) for ketamine and norketamine, calculated using non-compartmental analysis.

Secondary Endpoints

Incidence and Severity of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
From first dose through end of study/follow-up (~10 days)
Vital Signs: Change From Baseline in Systolic Blood Pressure
From first dose through End of study/ follow-up, approximately 10 days
Vital Signs: Change From Baseline in Diastolic Blood Pressure
From first dose through end of study/ follow-up, approximately 10 days

Frequently asked questions about Wafermine

What is Wafermine used for?

Wafermine is an investigational ketamine sublingual wafer being studied in healthy adult participants. It is currently in Phase 1 clinical development, with a single trial evaluating its pharmacokinetics and safety. The drug is not approved and remains under investigation.

Who makes Wafermine?

Wafermine is being developed by United Therapeutics Corporation, a publicly traded company listed on NASDAQ under the ticker UTHR. The company is conducting a Phase 1 clinical trial of this investigational ketamine sublingual wafer.

What phase is Wafermine in?

Wafermine is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by regulatory authorities. The ongoing Phase 1 trial is designed to assess the pharmacokinetics and safety of a single dose in healthy subjects.

What clinical trials is Wafermine in?

Wafermine is being studied in one Phase 1 clinical trial, identified as NCT07691372. This trial, titled 'Pharmacokinetics and Safety of Single-Dose Wafermine™ (Ketamine Sublingual Wafer) in Healthy Subjects,' is not yet recruiting and is planned to enroll 14 participants in Australia.

Is Wafermine the same as ketamine?

Wafermine is a ketamine sublingual wafer, meaning it is a formulation of ketamine designed to be administered under the tongue. It is an investigational product being developed by United Therapeutics Corporation and is currently in Phase 1 clinical trials.
