NYX-2925, a new chemical entity, acts as a co-agonist to glutamate at the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR). At low concentrations of endogenous agonists (glycine/D-serine), NYX-2925 partially activates NMDARs, modulating neural pathways relevant for chronic pain. NYX-2925 is being developed for the treatment of chronic pain conditions, including painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy and fibromyalgia. In this first-in-human, phase I, single-ascending dose (50-1,200 mg) and multiple-ascending dose (150-900 mg) study, the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PKs) of NYX-2925 were evaluated in 84 healthy adult volunteers. No safety concerns emerged, including no dissociative side effects. NYX-2925 exhibited dose-proportional PKs and minimal accumulation following once-daily dosing for 7 days. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) measurements confirmed that NYX-2925 crosses the blood brain barrier, with maximum CSF concentrations approximating 6-9% of maximum plasma concentrations at the same dose level. NYX-2925 was safe and well-tolerated in healthy volunteers, and the study results support the continued clinical development for chronic pain conditions.
