Researchers are evaluating the long-term safety and tolerability of KarXT in treating mania or mania with mixed features in adults with Bipolar-I disorder. This phase 3, open-label extension study aims to better understand how KarXT performs over an extended period in this population. The study includes participants who either completed previous double-blind placebo-controlled studies or are newly diagnosed with Bipolar-I disorder experiencing manic symptoms. Participants receive KarXT at specified doses on certain days, with some also taking therapeutic doses of Lithium, Valproate, or Lamotrigine as part of their treatment. The study does not mention a placebo group during this extension, focusing instead on monitoring the long-term effects of KarXT alone or in combination with these established therapies. During the study, participants are monitored for adverse events up to week 54 to assess safety. Evaluations include psychiatric assessments using scales such as the Young Mania Rating Scale and CGI-BP score at screening and baseline. Researchers will track treatment-emergent adverse events and overall tolerability throughout the study duration, which lasts up to 54 weeks for each participant.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of adding KarXT (Xanomeline/Trospium Chloride) to standard treatment for mania in adults with Bipolar-I Disorder. This Phase 3, randomized, double-blind study focuses on individuals experiencing acute manic episodes, with or without mixed features, who are already taking lithium, valproate, or lamotrigine. The study aims to measure changes in mania symptoms using the Young Mania Rating Scale at Week 5. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either KarXT or a placebo alongside their stable dose of lithium, valproate, or lamotrigine. The doses of these medications are specified and given on set days during the study. Only those with stable mood stabilizer doses for at least two weeks prior to screening, and valproate treatment for at least seven months, are eligible. The treatment period lasts for 5 weeks. During the study, participants will be closely monitored through psychiatric evaluations and clinical assessments. Researchers will assess mania severity, safety, and any side effects. The main outcome is the change from baseline in the Young Mania Rating Scale score at Week 5. Participants’ physical health, including liver function and risk of urinary or gastrointestinal issues, will also be monitored to ensure safety throughout the trial.

Researchers are investigating the safety and effectiveness of KarXT in treating manic episodes in adults with Bipolar-I Disorder. This Phase 3 study focuses on individuals experiencing acute mania or mania with mixed features who require hospitalization. The study aims to compare KarXT with a placebo to see how well it reduces manic symptoms during a three-week inpatient period. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either KarXT or a placebo at specified doses during the inpatient treatment phase. The study is double-blind, so neither the participants nor the researchers know who receives which treatment. The total study duration, including screening, treatment, and safety follow-up, will not exceed seven weeks. During the study, participants will be closely monitored through psychiatric evaluations and rating scales, including the Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) to measure changes in mania symptoms by week 3. Other assessments include the Clinical Global Impressions-Bipolar scale and safety evaluations. Researchers will track adherence, symptoms, and any side effects throughout the study period.

Researchers are evaluating whether the drug zilebesiran can reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events such as cardiovascular death, nonfatal heart attacks, strokes, or heart failure in adults who have hypertension that is not well controlled and who either have established cardiovascular disease or are at high risk for it. This Phase 3 global study is designed to continue until enough cardiovascular events have occurred to assess the treatment's effect. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either zilebesiran or a placebo, both given as injections under the skin (subcutaneous administration). All participants will continue with their standard care, which includes treatment with at least two antihypertensive medications, one of which must be a diuretic such as a thiazide or loop diuretic. The study is double-blind, so neither participants nor researchers know who is receiving the active drug or placebo. During the study, participants will be closely monitored for cardiovascular events including heart attacks, strokes, heart failure hospitalizations, and cardiovascular deaths over approximately five years. Researchers will collect data on these events to determine the time until the first occurrence of any of these outcomes. Safety assessments and standard clinical evaluations will also be performed throughout the study period to ensure participant well-being.
