About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Crossover Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of FSD-F2R6-A-CP in Volunteers in an Induced State of Alcohol Intoxication (METAL-2)

This will be a (2 visit) double-blind, randomized, placebo crossover design clinical study to assess the potential benefits of FSD-F2R6-A-CP versus a placebo by assessing its impact on side effect profiles as well as cognitive abilities, motor abilities, and breath alcohol concentration following ingestion of alcohol followed by the dietary supplement or placebo. This study will enroll healthy men and women.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Intoxication

    Intoxication will be measured using a 0-100 mm VAS scale, with left (0 mm) and right (100 mm) anchors designated 'not at all' and 'very much' to assess subjects' subjective experience of intoxication.

    Measured: Change in pre-treatment score to 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 hours post-treatment

  2. Impairment

    Impairment will be measured using a 0-100 mm VAS scale, with left (0 mm) and right (100 mm) anchors designated 'not at all' and 'very much' to assess subjects' subjective experience of impairment.

    Measured: Change in pre-treatment score to 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 hours post-treatment

  3. Mental Fatigue

    Mental fatigue will be measured using a 0-100 mm VAS scale, with left (0 mm) and right (100 mm) anchors designated 'not at all' and 'very much' to assess subjects' subjective experience of mental fatigue.

    Measured: Change in pre-treatment score to 0.5, 1, 2 and4 hours post-treatment

  4. Clearheaded-Muzzy

    Clearheaded-Muzzy will be measured by a 100 mm visual analog scale (VAS) representing bipolar adjective pairs for the assessment of both alerting and sedating CNS drug effects.

    Measured: Change in pre-treatment score to 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 hours post-treatment

  5. Clumsy-Well Coordinated

    Clumsy-Well Coordinated will be measured by a 100 mm visual analog scale (VAS) representing bipolar adjective pairs for the assessment of both alerting and sedating CNS drug effects.

    Measured: Change in pre-treatment score to 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 hours post-treatment

  6. Energetic-Lethargic

    Energetic-Lethargic will be measured by a 100 mm visual analog scale (VAS) representing bipolar adjective pairs for the assessment of both alerting and sedating CNS drug effects.

    Measured: Change in pre-treatment score to 0.5, 1, 2 an 4 hours post-treatment

  7. Drowsy-Alert

    Drowsy-Alert will be measured by a 100 mm visual analog scale (VAS) representing bipolar adjective pairs for the assessment of both alerting and sedating CNS drug effects.

    Measured: Change in pre-treatment score to 0.5, 1, 2 an 4 hours post-treatment

  8. Mentally Slow-Quick Witted

    Mentally Slow-Quick Witted will be measured by a 100 mm visual analog scale (VAS) representing bipolar adjective pairs for the assessment of both alerting and sedating CNS drug effects.

    Measured: Change in pre-treatment score to 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 hours post-treatment

  9. Headache

    Headache will be measured on a 100 mm VAS. The subject will indicate the severity of any headache by drawing a vertical line on the horizontally positioned VAS. The left end (0 mm) of the VAS will designate 'no pain' and the right end (100mm) will designate 'most severe pain imaginable' with no intermediate divisions or descriptive terms.

    Measured: Change in pre-treatment score to 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 8 hours post-treatment

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Druid App Test

    This is a peer-reviewed, phone app with 4 different tests that test for cognitive and motor impairments.

    Measured: Change in pre-treatment score to 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 hours post-treatment

  2. Digital Symbol Substitution Task (DSST)

    This is a computerized test that will be used to assess the subject's cognitive functioning. This will test processing speed, working memory, visuospatial processing and attention.

    Measured: Change in pre-treatment score to 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 hours post-treatment

  3. Trail Making Test (TMT)

    This is a neuropsychological test of visual attention and task switching. Subjects will connect a set of 25 dots in order as quickly and accurately as possible. This will provide visual search speed, scanning, speed of processing, mental flexibility, and executive functioning. This test will be completed on a computer.

    Measured: Change in pre-treatment score to 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 hours post-treatment

  4. Breath Alcohol Concentration

    To quantify the participants' level of intoxication through objective measures, breath alcohol concentrations will be measured with a breathalyzer.

  5. Acute Hangover Severity Scale (AHSS)

    This is a 12-item questionnaire that rates the severity of a hangover from 0 to 120 with higher scores indicating worse hangover symptoms.

    Measured: Measured at 8 and 24 hours after treatment

  6. Single Item Hangover Severity Score

    This is a single item outcome measure that rates the severity of a hangover from 0 to 10 with higher scores indicating worse hangover symptoms.

    Measured: Measured at 8 and 24 hours after treatment

  7. Systolic blood pressure

    Systolic blood pressure measured in mmHg.

    Measured: Measured at baseline (before alcohol), pre-treatment and 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 hours post-treatment

  8. Diastolic blood pressure

    Diastolic blood pressure measured in mmHg

    Measured: Measured at baseline (before alcohol), pre-treatment and 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 hours post-treatment

  9. Heart rate

    Heart rate measured in beats per minute

    Measured: Measured at baseline (before alcohol), pre-treatment and 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 hours post-treatment

  10. Respiratory rate

    Respiratory rate measured in respirations per minute

    Measured: Measured at baseline (before alcohol), pre-treatment and 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 hours post-treatment

  11. Temperature

    Temperature measured in degrees fahrenheit with an infrared thermometer

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing FSD-F2R6-A-CP in people with Acute Alcohol Intoxication, run by Quantum Biopharma at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 11 inclusion and 20 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 May 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Intoxication (time frame: Change in pre-treatment score to 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 hours post-treatment). The study lists 9 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 May 2025.
