This is a Phase I, open-label, adaptive design study in healthy male participants using PET imaging with the radioligand [11C]Me-NB1 to measure occupancy of the NR2B-containing NMDA receptors by MIJ821. This exploratory study will be performed at a single clinical site and a separate PET imaging site.~Up to 10 participants will be enrolled into 5 sequential cohorts. Each participant will receive a single dose of MIJ821 as an i.v. infusion. As part of the adaptive design, the dose of MIJ821 will be changed across cohorts to achieve the primary study objective in the smallest possible number of participants.~After confirming eligibility during screening, each participant will undergo a baseline PET scan. Each participant will receive a single dose of i.v. MIJ821 during the treatment period, followed by up to two post dose PET scans. Post dose safety assessments will be performed up to End of Study visit approximately 9 days after dosing.
The purpose of this study is to confirm binding of MIJ821 to the NR2B-containing NMDA receptors in the human brain and assess the PC-RO relationship over time using positron emission tomography (PET).
