Phase
Phase 1 / Phase 2
Type of endpoint/s
Pharmacodynamics
Statistical methods / analysis
Correlations and univariate analyses will be perfomed for ketamine and norketamine plasma concentrations and mood rating scores and EEG changes in an exploratory data analysis. Further analyses using pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic (PKPD) modelling effects will be conducted to investigate relationships between ketamine exposure (plasma concentrations) and pharmacological effects (mood scores and EEG changes).
