About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Schizophrenia focused on measuring schizophrenia

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 65 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesAccepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Healthy volunteers
  • Informed consent given by the subject
  • Both, female and male subjects may participate
  • Age between 18 and 65 years
  • Negative drug-screening at the time of screening
  • In female participants in fertile age, reliable contraception, which means contraception's pearl-index is equal or smaller than 1.
  • Non-Smoker
  • Body Mass Index between 18 and 40.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Lack of accountability
  • Any current psychiatric disorder through the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV (SCID) at the time of screening
  • Any known psychiatric or neurological illness in the participant's history.
  • Known family history concerning psychiatric disorders
  • Relevant use of cannabis (which is defined on the present state of knowledge as at the most five times lifetime-consumption and no consumption for at least one year)
  • Pregnancy or lactation phase in female at the time of screening
  • Severe physical (internal) or neurological illness, especially cardiovascular, renal, advanced respiratory, haematological or endocrinological failures or infectious diseases (acute hepatitis A, B or C or HIV) assessed at the time of the screening by the subject's history, clinical examination and laboratory testing, at the discretion of the investigator
  • Consumption of any illegal drugs (except cannabis in history, see above)

Arm Label

Intranasal Insulin

Cannabidiol CR

URB597

Arm Description

Intranasal administered insulin

Cannabidiol is the main non psychoactive compound of the Cannabis sativa plant.

URB597 is a selective inhibitor of the Fatty acid amide hydrolase enzyme.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Clinical assessment with several psychopathological scores for self-assessment and peer evaluation (BPRS, PANSS, SIPS, CGI, MADRS, HAM-A, SCL-90-R)
Laboratory assessment (routine testing, "-omics", genetic analyses, endocannabinoid levels)
Diagnostics of the cerebrospinal fluid
fMRI scan of the brain

Secondary Outcome Measures

Regular evaluating of the subject's condition and ability to continue the study by CGI
Regular laboratory testing and ECG
Scales for the assessment of adverse events (UKU, SCL- 90-R)
(Numbers of) SAE and AE
