Eligibility
Recruits 18 Vulnerable population selected: participants are patients with anorexia nervosa. All participants are adult females (18–45 years). Patients must be able to understand study requirements and give written informed consent prior to study start. No assent procedures for minors are described..
- Pregnancy Exclusion
- Pregnancy, lactation, or planning to become pregnant during the study. Females of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test prior to starting treatment and practice highly effective methods of birth control throughout the study period (unless postmenopausal or surgically sterile, or whose sole sexual partner had a successful vasectomy). Highly effective contraceptives measures according to CTCG recommendation, version 1.2, 07 March 2024, are: a. Combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation: oral/intravagi nal/transdermal or progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation: oral/ injectable/ implantable for at least 3 months prior to dosing and continuing through the study completion. b. Intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS) for at least 3 months prior to dosing and continuing through the study completion. c. Bilateral tubal occlusion. d. Vasectomized partner. e. Sexual abstinence. Note: Women are considered post-menopausal and not of childbearing potential if they have had 12 months of natural (spontaneous) amenorrhea with an appropriate clinical profile (e.g., age-appropriate, history of vasomotor symptoms) or have FSH level of at least 40 U/ml at screening (to confirm menopause) or have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy (with or without hysterectomy) or tubal ligation at least six weeks ago. In the case of oophorectomy alone, only when the reproductive status of the woman has been confirmed by follow-up hormone level assessment is she considered not of childbearing potential.
