Disease
Names and IDs as Open Targets gives them. Its IDs in MeSH, Orphanet, the Disease Ontology and the NCI Thesaurus are those Open Targets states for it.
Drugs5
The drugs Open Targets' clinical reports study for the disease, the highest stage first, then the most trial reports. The stage is Open Targets', the highest any of its sources reports for the pair, and each row names the sources that report it.
| Drug | ChEMBL ID | Type | Open Targets' stage | Stage reported by | Reports | Of them trials | Trials shown here | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ESCITALOPRAM | CHEMBL1508 | Small molecule | Phase 2/3 | ClinicalTrials.gov | 1 | 1 | 1 | Drugs and targets |
| ATICAPRANT | CHEMBL1921847 | Small molecule | Phase 2 | ClinicalTrials.gov | 1 | 1 | 1 | Drugs and targets |
| CYCLOSERINE | CHEMBL771 | Small molecule | Phase 2 | ClinicalTrials.gov | 1 | 1 | 1 | Drugs and targets |
| QUETIAPINE | CHEMBL716 | Small molecule | Phase 2 | ClinicalTrials.gov | 1 | 1 | 1 | Drugs and targets |
| VALPROIC ACID | CHEMBL109 | Small molecule | Phase 2 | ClinicalTrials.gov | 1 | 1 | 1 | Drugs and targets |
Targets6
The targets ChEMBL's mechanism records give for the disease's drugs, through Open Targets, the most drugs first. A mechanism record says what a drug acts on, not that the target causes the disease.
| Target | Protein | Its drugs that act on it | Mechanisms | Highest stage of those drugs | Gene in Genes | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ALDH5A1 | Succinate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase, mitochondrial | 1 | Succinate semialdehyde dehydrogenase inhibitor | Phase 2 | https://conductscience.org/library/genes/7915 | Drugs and targets |
| DRD2 | D(2) dopamine receptor | 1 | Dopamine D2 receptor antagonist | Phase 2 | https://conductscience.org/library/genes/1813 | Drugs and targets |
| HTR2A | 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2A | 1 | Serotonin 2a (5-HT2a) receptor antagonist | Phase 2 | https://conductscience.org/library/genes/3356 | Drugs and targets |
| HTR2C | 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2C | 1 | Serotonin 2c (5-HT2c) receptor antagonist | Phase 2 | https://conductscience.org/library/genes/3358 | Drugs and targets |
| OPRK1 | Kappa-type opioid receptor | 1 | Kappa opioid receptor antagonist | Phase 2 | https://conductscience.org/library/genes/4986 | Drugs and targets |
| SLC6A4 | Sodium-dependent serotonin transporter | 1 | Serotonin transporter inhibitor | Phase 2/3 | https://conductscience.org/library/genes/6532 | Drugs and targets |
Trials5
Trials an Open Targets clinical report links to the disease, posted results first, then the largest. A trial is shown when the release's checks confirm its link to the disease and Drugs and targets shows its link to one of the disease's drugs.
| Trial | Title | Phase | Participants | Results first posted | Conditions | Drugs | Linked by | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NCT02218736 | Fast-Fail Trials in Mood and Anxiety Spectrum Disorders; Kappa Opioid Receptor Phase 2a | Phase 2 | 163 | 2019-01-08 | ANXIETY DISORDERS (or Anxiety and Phobic Neuroses) | ATICAPRANT | Open Targets' reading of its record | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| NCT00591825 | fMRI Study Examining Effects of D-cycloserine in Specific Phobia | Phase 2 | 54 | 2017-06-05 | Phobias | CYCLOSERINE | Open Targets' reading of its record | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| NCT02789813 | Influence of Valproic Acid on Extinction-based Therapy in Patients With Fear of Spiders. | Phase 2 | 100 | Phobia, Specific | VALPROIC ACID | Its record names the disease | ClinicalTrials.gov | |
| NCT00872716 | Quetiapine in Specific Phobia | Phase 2 | 60 | Specific Phobia | QUETIAPINE | Its record names the disease | ClinicalTrials.gov | |
| NCT00121069 | Study of Escitalopram in the Treatment of Specific Phobia | Phase 2/3 | 12 | Phobic Disorders | ESCITALOPRAM | Its record names the disease | ClinicalTrials.gov |
Comparisons in its trials2
Comparisons Trial comparisons calculated in the trials shown here, most participants first. A comparison in one of these trials does not always compare a treatment for the disease, so read the two groups.
| Comparison | Group 1, with the outcome | Group 2, with the outcome | Participants | Trial | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CERC-501 vs Placebo: deaths from any cause | 0 of 45 | 0 of 44 | 89 | NCT02218736 | Trial comparisons |
| CERC-501 vs Placebo: serious adverse events | 0 of 45 | 0 of 44 | 89 | NCT02218736 | Trial comparisons |
Papers from its trials0
The papers the trials shown here list on ClinicalTrials.gov as their results (RESULT) or as drawn from them (DERIVED), results first, newest first.
