Trial Outcomes & Findings for Effects of GLYX-13 on Learning and Memory in Healthy Individuals and Those With Psychiatric Illness (NCT NCT01844726)

NCT ID: NCT01844726

Last Updated: 2023-04-20

Results Overview

Evidence of enhanced functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) signal change during a category learning task among individuals receiving GLYX-13 administration compared to those receiving placebo. Value represents fMRI BOLD signal change (in % change) across a task derived functional network. Higher scores indicate greater task-based activation across this functional circuit.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: within 1 hour of administration

This measure reflects the percentage of correct trials on a category learning task in which subjects learned the category membership (group A or group B) of 8 three-digit numbers presented over 64 trials. Higher values (\>50%) reflect increased accuracy in learning the category membership.
