This study is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of NOE-105 on speech fluency without the known antipsychotic-induced side effects of commonly used treatments for childhood onset fluency disorder (COFD).
NOE-105 is an investigational selective PDE10A inhibitor with a potential therapeutic effect for the treatment of COFD. In this study adult male patients may be randomized to a double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group treatment with NOE-105 or placebo once daily. The study is designed to find the maximum tolerated dose of NOE-105 and thereafter, to maintain the participants at this dose until they have completed a total of 10 weeks treatment period. Following up to 10 weeks of treatment, participants will visit the study site for a follow-up visit within 28 (± 7) days of the date of the last dose of study treatment.

Change From Baseline to End of 6 Weeks in Total MLGSSS
MLGSSS refers to Maguire-Leal-Garibaldi Self-rated Stuttering Scale. The scale includes ten questions that are assessed on a 0 to 10 scale with 0 being no impact and 10 being highest impact. The total score ranges from 0 to 100 with the higher the score the worse the stuttering.
Time frame: 43 days
Change From Baseline in Sheehan Disability Scale
The Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) is a brief, self-report tool that assesses disability or functional impairment in the domains of (1) Work/School life, (2) Social life, and (3) Family life/home responsibilities. Each is assessed on a 10 point scale with 0 being no impact, and 10 being highest impact. Each item is rated from 0 (not at all) to 10 (extremely) impairment. Each domain score is added to provide a total score from 0-30 total score with 0 (no impairment) and 30 is severe impairment. The change from the Baseline assessment have been provided.
Time frame: Up to 71 days
Change From Baseline to End Point in Clinician-rated Stuttering Severity Instrument-4
SSI-4 is a validated scale to evaluate speech fluency including frequency, duration, physical concomitants and the naturalness of the speech. The score ranges from 10 (mildest) to 46 (most severe). The results show the change from Baseline in the SSI-4
Time frame: Up to 71 days
