Safety and Pharmacokinetics of GH002 in Healthy Volunteers
Double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomised single-dose cohorts (n=64 across cohorts A–G) and an open-label multiple-dose cohort (J) investigating safety and serum pharmacokinetics of IV GH002 (5‑MeO‑DMT) in healthy volunteers.
Detailed Description
This study evaluates safety and serum pharmacokinetics of GH002 (5‑MeO‑DMT) in healthy volunteers using a randomized, double‑blind, placebo‑controlled single‑dose escalation (cohorts A–G) and an open‑label, non‑randomized multiple‑dose cohort (J).
Secondary objectives include PK/PD relationships, assessment of psychoactive effects and cognitive performance, and measurement of the metabolite bufotenine.
