Brief summary

This study aimed to explore the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of low dose sertraline with \[11C\] sertraline positron emission tomography (PET) study.

Detailed description

Open, one arm, single sequence, 3-period, dose escalating study for healthy volunteers are investigated. Ten subjects may be enrolled. Subjects receive baseline \[11C\] sertraline PET. Period 1 Subjects receive 5 mg of sertraline every day. After 6 day of medication, pharmacokinetic and PET studies are performed. Period 2 Subjects receive 25 mg of sertraline every day. After 6 day of medication, pharmacokinetic and PET studies are performed. Period 3 Subjects receive 50 mg of sertraline every day. After 6 day of medication, pharmacokinetic and PET studies are performed.

Interventions

DRUGSertraline

Multiple doses of 5, 25, and 50 mg Sertraline for 6 days each period.
