NV-5138 also known as SPN-820 is an investigational new drug that is being evaluated by Navitor Pharmaceuticals and Supernus Pharmaceuticals[2] for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD).[3][1][4][5]

NV-5138 works by binding to and modulating sestrin2, a cellular sensor protein for the amino acid leucine, which is a natural activator of mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling pathway.[1][4][6] The mTORC1 pathway is the same signaling pathway that the NMDA receptor antagonist ketamine activates in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) to mediate its rapid-acting antidepressant effects.[1][4]

Pharmacology

[edit]

NV-5138 has been found to increase mTORC1 signaling within physiologic range and to stimulate synaptogenesis in the mPFC, and further to induce rapid antidepressant effects in multiple animal models of depression.[1][4] Like those of ketamine, these actions were demonstrated to require the signaling of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF).[1] The antidepressant effects following a single dose of NV-5138 are long-lasting, with a duration of up to 7 days, and are similar to those of ketamine.[1][4]

Clinical trials

[edit]

NV-5138 has undergone several clinical trials to assess its potential as a treatment for depression, with a particular focus on treatment-resistant depression (TRD). The clinical development program for NV-5138 began with a Phase 1 trial initiated by Navitor Pharmaceuticals in 2018.[1][7] This initial study was designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of the compound in both healthy volunteers and patients diagnosed with TRD.[8]

Following the Phase 1 trial,larger Phase 2 studes were launched to further investigate the efficacy and safety of NV-5138 as an adjunctive treatment for adults with TRD.[9][10][3] These more extensive trials involved a larger number of participants and was structured to provide more comprehensive data on the compound's potential therapeutic benefits.[11]
