Study start date: December 29, 2021

Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

CVL-231 is a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) activator that selectively binds to the M4 muscarinic receptor subtype (M4 mAChR) and is being developed for treatment of psychosis in schizophrenia. Part A of this 2-part trial will investigate the PK of CVL-231 in healthy participants following a single oral dose of CVL-231 as 3 modified-release (MR) formulations with different release rates and an immediate-release (IR) formulation under fasted conditions. Upon selection of an MR formulation with appropriate PK characteristics, the effect of food on the PK of CVL-231 and its metabolite following single oral doses of the selected MR formulation may be evaluated in Part B.

Positive drug screen for illicit drugs or a positive test for alcohol 10. 12-lead ECG demonstrating pre-defined abnormalities at Screening and Day -1 based on local evaluation. 11.
