Study of ABX-002 for the Adjunctive Treatment of Depressive Episodes Associated With Bipolar Disorder in Adults
NCT06869187 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if ABX-002 added to participants' existing treatment(s) can improve clinical symptoms of depression and to learn about potential effects on brain chemistry that may correlate with antidepressive effects. This is a single treatment arm, open-label, Phase 2 study of ABX-002 in up to30 adults with bipolar depression. A subset of these participants will undergo brain imaging. Five healthy volunteer participants will also be enrolled and receive no drug treatment, undergoing 2 imaging sessions to confirm instrument and test - retest method reliability control. For bipolar disorder participants who are experiencing an episode of depression, the study will include 4 study periods: 1. Screening Period of up to 5 weeks 2. 6-week Treatment Period 3. 2-week post dose Safety Follow-up Period. 4. 6-month postdose targeted safety follow-up period For healthy volunteers, the study will include 2 study periods: 1. Screening Period of up to 3 weeks 2. Imaging Period of up to 3 weeks.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06869187
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06869187 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as Phase 2, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 35 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Autobahn Therapeutics, which has 2 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Bipolar Disorder Depression appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which ABX-002 is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06869187 reports 15 study locations spanning 8 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include New York, New Jersey, Connecticut. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
