Single-dose ketamine wafer study in healthy adults
This study tests a single dose of a ketamine wafer that dissolves under the tongue in healthy adults. It checks how the drug moves through the body and if it is safe. It may help people with certain conditions where ketamine is being explored as a treatment.

This study uses a special brain scan (MRI) to understand how the brain chemical glutamate works in healthy people. You may be asked to take either an experimental drug or a placebo to see how it affects your brain chemistry.
This trial tests if ketamine (taken as a pill or under the tongue) can help people with moderate to severe depression that hasn't improved with at least two other antidepressants. The goal is to find out if this approach is safe and effective.
This trial tests whether a single dose of ketamine can quickly improve depression by studying brain chemical changes using MRI. It's for people with treatment-resistant depression who haven't used ketamine before.
This study tests whether a new drug called (2R,6R)-HNK can reduce pain caused by heat in healthy volunteers. The results will help researchers understand if this drug might be useful for treating acute (short-lasting) pain in the future.
This Phase 1 study tests how ketamine changes “dissociative” experiences—feelings of being disconnected from thoughts or surroundings—in adults. You may be helping researchers better understand ketamine’s effects, which could guide safer future uses.
This early-phase study tests whether ketamine can help people with major depression who have trouble feeling pleasure. It also studies how the brain may change in response to stress, to better understand who might respond to treatment.
