This research study tests whether GLYX-13 - an experimental drug that acts on a brain receptor called NMDA - can decrease symptoms of OCD within hours. This is not a treatment study. Results from this study will allow doctors and researchers to better understand if you and others with OCD may respond to a class of medications that target the NMDA brain receptor.

Scores Change in Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Challenge Scale (YBOCCS) Scores From Baseline to 230 Minutes Postinfusion.
Patients self-rated the severity of their obsessions and compulsions using the YBOC Challenge Scale, a 10-item self-report form that assesses Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) symptoms (i.e., time spent, degree of control, severity) \[total score range = 0 - 40 \] over the previous 60 minutes. The higher the number on the YBOCCS, the more severe the symptoms.
Time frame: Baseline and 230 minutes post infusion
Number of Patients Who Met and Exceeded Response Criteria of Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale.
Patients given YBOCS (Yale Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale), a gold standard measure of obsessions and compulsions. For the YBOCS the minimum units are 0 and Maximum units on the total scale are 40. The higher the number on the YBOCS, the more severe the symptoms. Response was defined as at least a 35% reduction on the YBOCS.
Time frame: Baseline and 4 Weeks
