A Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Effect of a Single Dose of CVN058 on Mismatch Negativity in Subjects With Stable Schizophrenia

This is a phase 1, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 3 period cross-over study to evaluate
CVN058 target engagement by measuring auditory evoked potential mismatch negativity (MMN)
downstream to 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 3 (5-HT3) as a pharmacodynamic (PD) marker.

Male and female subjects with schizophrenia, age 18 to 50 years old, inclusive, will be
randomized to 1 of 6 treatment sequences (Table 2.a) to receive 1 of 3 dose regimens in each
period: a single oral administration of CVN058 (15 mg or 150 mg) or matching placebo. The
sequence will determine the order in which a subject will take each of the 3 regimens.
Discontinued subjects may be replaced at the discretion of the sponsor so that approximately
20 completed subjects are available for analysis.

The study includes three 1-day treatment periods, with a minimum of 7-day washout, maximum 10
day washout (2 total washouts, after Periods 1 and 2) between periods, and a 7-10 day
follow-up call post dosing of the last period. Subjects may be inpatients or outpatients at
the discretion of the Investigator.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Subjects 18 to 50 years of age, inclusive, at the time of informed consent.

impact absorption (e.g., bariatric surgery or bowel resection).

- Subjects having clinical laboratory evaluations (including clinical chemistry,
hematology and complete urinalysis) outside the reference range for the testing
laboratory, unless the results are deemed to be not clinically significant (NCS) by
the investigator at Screening.

- Subjects with moderate to severe substance use disorder, unstable mood or anxiety
disorder.

- Subject has a current diagnosis of a significant psychiatric illness other than
schizophrenia per DSM-V and is in an acute phase/episode.
