A Phase I/II Study to Evaluate UC1010 Treatment in Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD)
Premenstrual Dysphoric DisorderThe study is a phase 1/2 study in two parts. In part 1, the primary objective is to assess the pharmacokinetics of UC1010 when administered subcutaneously as a single dose to healthy women. The safety and tolerability of UC1010 is also evaluated in study part 1. In part 2, the primary objective is to assess the pharmacodynamic effect of UC1010 on premenstrual symptoms in women with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) when given during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. The pharmacodynamic effect is evaluated through the patients' daily ratings of premenstrual symptoms. In both study parts, two active treatment groups are compared to one placebo group.
The Role of GABA and Neurosteroids in Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder
Premenstrual Dysphoric DisorderPremenstrual SyndromeThe purpose of the study proposed is to investigate the role of neurosteroids and GABA in the pathophysiology and treatment of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) by 1) measuring cortical gama-aminobutyric acid levels (GABA levels) using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) during the follicular and mid-luteal phases of the menstrual cycle pre and post treatment with the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) fluoxetine (Prozac®, Sarafem®), and 2) correlating cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma GABA and neurosteroid levels with cortical GABA levels at these same time points. Neurosteroids to be measured include allopregnanolone, pregnenolone, and pregnenolone sulfate. Findings from women with PMDD will be compared to those of healthy subjects.

Emotional Processing and Oxytocin Mechanisms in Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder: A Pilot Study
Premenstrual Dysphoric DisorderThis research study will look at brain and symptom differences among women with severe premenstrual mood symptoms. One goal of this study is to look at the effects of taking a nasal spray containing oxytocin (a hormone made in the brain) on brain areas involved in emotion regulation while viewing pictures during a neuroimaging (fMRI) session. The investigators will also look at whether oxytocin improves premenstrual mood symptoms.
