About this trial

The primary goal of this Phase 2 clinical trial is to determine the effects of a novel V1a receptor antagonist (NTX-1472) in adults with Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD). The main questions this trial aims to answer are:

* Is NTX-1472 safe and well tolerated in adults with SAD? * How effectively does NTX-1472 treat adults with SAD?

Researchers will compare the effects of NTX-1472 with matching placebo (a look-alike capsule that contains no drug).

Participants will:

* Take NTX-1472 or matching placebo every day for 8 weeks * Visit the clinic 6 times over the course of 14 weeks for checkups and tests
