Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Participant is aged 18-40 years, inclusive, at time of signing the ICF
- Participant has a primary diagnosis of schizophrenia established by a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation based on the DSM-5 (American Psychiatric Association 2013) criteria and confirmed by Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview for Schizophrenia and Psychotic Disorder Studies (MINI) version 7.0.2.
- Participant Scores MSQ ≤3 for the Medication Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ)
- Within 5 years of first antipsychotic treatment for psychosis at time of signing ICF
- Clinical reason to seek a change in antipsychotic treatment due to psychosis symptom severity, it is clinically appropriate for the participant to seek a change in antipsychotic treatment due to psychosis symptom severity, adverse effects, both, or overall patient judgement/choice.
- Symptom Severity Criteria:
- Clinical reasons include Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score of ≤ 120 at screening if participant is experiencing inefficacy from current antipsychotic treatment and
- A score of ≥ 4 (moderate or greater) for ≥ 1 of the following PANSS Positive Subscale (P) items: i. Item 1 (P1; delusions), ii. Item 2 (P2; conceptual disorganization), iii. Item 3 (P3; hallucinatory behavior), iv. Item 6 (P6; suspiciousness/persecution) and
- A Clinical Global Impressions-Severity scale (CGI-S) score of ≥ 4 at screening and baseline visits.
- OR
- Adverse Event or Overall Patient Choice Criteria:
- A score of \<4 for all the following PANSS Positive Subscale (P) items: i. Item 1 (P1; delusions), ii. Item 2 (P2; conceptual disorganization), iii. Item 3 (P3; hallucinatory behavior), iv. Item 6 (P6; suspiciousness/persecution)
- Participant Scores MSQ ≤3 for the Medication Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ)Clinical reason to seek a change in antipsychotic treatment due to adverse effects or overall patient judgement/choice.

Participants are permitted to remain on non-prohibited (see, Exclusion Criterion, and Section 9) psychotropic medications (that are not secondary AP treatments) other than the primary pre-switch AP that have been part of their ongoing treatment regimen.
- a. Anticholinergic drugs (e.g., benztropine) are allowed at baseline but need to be washed out during cross titration within 1 week after initiating xanomeline/trospium.
- Subject can provide informed consent. A signed informed consent form must be provided before any study assessments are performed. Subject must be fluent (oral and written) in English to consent. Female participants must be willing and capable to use birth control throughout the time of the trial as defined in Section 3.1.3

- Active biliary disease (eg, symptomatic gallstones). Participants with other biliary histories are eligible and should be discussed with the medical monitor
- History or high risk of urinary retention, gastric retention,
- Untreated narrow-angle glaucoma
- An estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of \< 60 mL/min at the screening visit.
- Elevations in hepatic transaminases at screening ≥ 3× ULN for ALT and AST and/or ≥ 2× ULN for total bilirubin
- History of hypersensitivity or prior exposure to xanomeline/trospium or trospium chloride
- History of any significant drug allergy (such as anaphylaxis or hepatotoxicity).
- Intellectual disability or autism spectrum disorder (by history)
- Active substance dependence within the past 3 months (except for tobacco and cannabis)
