Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Montgomery Åsberg Depression Rating Scale 10-item version (MADRS-10)
2 weeks

Depression questionnaire

Mean 40-Hz Auditory Steady State Response Power
4 hours

Mean power (in microVolt squared; uV\^2) of 40-Hz Auditory Steady State Response (ASSR; an auditory task using 40Hz click trains) calculated across 38-42Hz. Mean +/- SE across pre-treatment baseline and 4 post-treatment measures one every hour controlled for time, with outcomes the mean per treatment arm obtained from Linear Mixed Model analysis.

Pharmacokinetics
PK samples will be collected at time 0, 0.5, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 hours post-dosing on Day 1 and Day 14.

To evaluate pharmacokinetics of three dose levels of orally-administered AV-101 given once a day for 14 days in healthy volunteers by measuring Cmax, half-life, Tmax, and AUC.

Safety
28 days

To evaluate the safety of three dose levels of orally-administered AV-101 given once a day for 14 days in healthy volunteers by evaluating the number of subjects with treatment-emergent adverse events and changes from baseline to end of study in vital signs, hematology, hepatic profile, renal profile, urinalysis, and clinical laboratory parameters.
