Assessing the Safety and Efficacy of FSD-F2R6-A-CP in Volunteers in an Induced State of Alcohol Intoxication

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.

• Alcohol-naïve
• Positive pregnancy test
• A history of significant alcohol sensitivity
• A history of adverse reactions to power (energy) drinks or caffeine,

• A psychiatric history of certain disorders, a first-degree relative with specific psychiatric or alcohol use disorders,
• An intolerance to blood sampling, recent blood or plasma donations within the past 60 days.
• Recently used enzyme-modifying drugs within the previous 30 days including strong inhibitors of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes (e.g., cimetidine, fluoxetine, quinidine, erythromycin, ciprofloxacin, fluconazole, ketoconazole, diltiazem and HIV antivirals) and strong inducers of CYP enzymes (e.g., barbiturates, carbamazepine, glucocorticoids, phenytoin, St. John's Wort, and rifampicin).
