A Randomized, Double-Blind, Parallel-Group, Dose-Controlled Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of RE104 for Injection in the Treatment of Adjustment Disorder in Patients With Cancer and Other Medical Illnesses

Phase 2 Interventional Reunion Neuroscience Inc · NCT07002034

What this trial studies

This Phase 2 interventional trial gives eligible participants a single dose of RE104 for Injection and compares symptom change to an active placebo. Participants must have at least a four-week history of adjustment disorder with depressed mood or mixed anxiety and depression triggered by a qualifying medical illness and must be ambulatory with normal cognition. Concomitant antidepressants or psychotherapy are allowed if stable, or can be delayed until study end, and people with high suicide risk or primary psychotic or bipolar disorders are excluded. Recruitment occurs at three U.S. sites and standardized clinical rating scales will be used to measure changes in depressive and anxiety symptoms.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are ambulatory adults with at least four weeks of DSM-5-TR–defined adjustment disorder presenting with depressed mood or mixed anxiety–depressed mood triggered by cancer, ALS, MS, Parkinson's disease, or IPF, who have normal cognition and are willing to maintain or delay other psychiatric treatments per protocol.

Not a fit: Patients with significant suicide risk, active or past bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, other primary psychotic disorders, borderline personality disorder, pregnancy, major cognitive impairment, or inability to travel to a study site are unlikely to be eligible or to benefit from this protocol.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If effective, RE104 could provide a rapid, single-dose option to reduce depressive or mixed anxiety–depression symptoms in medically ill patients with adjustment disorder.

How similar studies have performed: Single-dose, rapid-acting neuropsychiatric treatments (for example ketamine) have shown benefit for depressive symptoms in other populations, but RE104 itself is experimental and prior efficacy for adjustment disorder has not been established.
