Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of KarXT combined with KarX-EC in adults aged 55 to 90 who experience agitation related to Alzheimers Disease. This Phase 3 study aims to understand how these medications impact agitation symptoms in this population, using recognized criteria to confirm Alzheimers diagnosis and agitation severity. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the combination of KarXT and KarX-EC or a placebo. Dosing is specified for certain days, and the study includes a 14-week treatment period during which agitation and other symptoms will be closely monitored. The study design includes a quadruple-blind method to reduce bias. During the study, participants and their caregivers will attend regular visits where the researchers will assess changes in agitation using tools like the Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory and Clinical Global Impressions-Severity scale. Safety will also be carefully monitored through various assessments including vital signs, lab tests, ECGs, and movement scales. Participant involvement extends up to 18 weeks to capture any adverse events and treatment effects.

Researchers are conducting a phase 3, open-label extension study to assess the long-term safety and tolerability of KarXT for treating mania or mania with mixed features in adults with Bipolar-I disorder. The study focuses on evaluating how participants respond to KarXT over an extended period, emphasizing safety measurements such as adverse events and symptom changes. Participants will receive KarXT at specified doses over a treatment period lasting up to 54 weeks. This study includes participants previously involved in related placebo-controlled studies as well as new participants diagnosed with Bipolar-I disorder with manic symptoms. The treatment may be given alongside standard therapeutic doses of lithium, valproate, or lamotrigine as applicable. Throughout the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including monitoring of treatment emergent adverse events, serious adverse events, and psychiatric symptom scales like the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale, Young Mania Rating Scale, and others. Safety and tolerability will be closely tracked, with evaluations occurring up to week 54. The entire participation may last until the study end date in June 2028, ensuring comprehensive long-term follow-up.

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of adding KarXT to current treatment for mania in adults with Bipolar-I Disorder. Participants must be experiencing an acute manic episode, with or without mixed features, and currently taking lithium, valproate, or lamotrigine. The study is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial assessing KarXT as an adjunctive therapy. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either KarXT combined with lithium, valproate, or lamotrigine, or a placebo combined with these mood stabilizers. The study drug or placebo will be administered at specified doses on designated days. The trial focuses on treatment during an acute manic episode with monitoring over several weeks to assess changes in mania symptoms and other clinical outcomes. Participants will be monitored through scheduled visits where researchers will measure changes in mania severity using the Young Mania Rating Scale YMRS and other clinical scales. Safety assessments will include tracking adverse events and evaluating other symptom scales related to bipolar disorder. The total study duration includes treatment and follow-up periods lasting up to seven weeks, during which participants health and responses to the study drug are carefully observed.

Researchers are evaluating KarXT for the treatment of manic episodes in adults with Bipolar-I Disorder. This Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study involves participants experiencing an acute episode of mania or mania with mixed features. The study aims to compare the effectiveness and safety of KarXT against a placebo during a 3-week inpatient treatment period. Participants will receive flexible dosing of either KarXT or placebo during the 3-week double-blind inpatient phase. Before treatment, psychotropic medications must be washed out within 14 days. The study includes screening, the treatment period, and a safety follow-up, totaling no more than seven weeks. During the study, participants will have their symptoms assessed using tools such as the Young Mania Rating Scale and Clinical Global Impressions-Bipolar scale. Researchers will monitor changes in mania symptoms and overall clinical impression at week 3. Safety follow-up continues after treatment to ensure participant well-being throughout the study duration.

This research aims to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of a combined formulation of xanomeline tartratetrospium chloride in an immediate release capsule KarXT and xanomeline enteric capsules KarX-EC for treating agitation in participants with Alzheimers Disease. The study focuses on individuals who have completed prior parent studies CN012-0023 or CN012-0024 and seeks to understand treatment effects over an extended period. Participants will receive specified doses of KarXT and KarX-EC on designated days as part of this single-group, non-randomized study. The treatment phase lasts up to approximately 30 weeks, during which the combined drugs are administered and monitored for safety and effectiveness related to agitation management in Alzheimers Disease. Throughout the study, participants will be monitored for treatment-emergent adverse events and other safety measures. Assessments include tracking adverse events, serious adverse events, changes in vital signs, laboratory evaluations, electrocardiograms, cognitive function tests like the Mini-mental State Examination and ADAS-Cog-13, as well as symptom severity scales. Caregiver involvement is required to provide support and facilitate study participation. The total study duration extends up to about 30 weeks with ongoing safety and efficacy evaluations.
