Study Summary

Ecopipam hydrochloride (HCl) is an investigational drug being studied for several possible diseases. To date, all clinical studies have been done using the ecopipam immediate release (IR) tablet. However, a controlled release (CR) capsule formulation of ecopipam has been produced that may be able to improve its effectiveness and reduce its side effects. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ecopipam CR capsules when given as single oral dose in healthy volunteers.
