Researchers are evaluating tirzepatide in adults with obesity who do not have diabetes but have at least one weight-related health condition. The study aims to assess body weight loss and the development of type 2 diabetes over a long period in a real-world setting. This is a Phase 4 clinical trial sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either weekly subcutaneous injections of tirzepatide in addition to standard care or standard care alone. The study uses a parallel design to compare these two groups and lasts about 260 weeks 5 years. The focus is on long-term effects and real-world treatment outcomes. During the study, participants will have regular assessments including measurements of body weight, blood sugar control HbA1c, waist circumference, blood pressure, cholesterol, kidney function, quality of life, and healthcare resource use. The primary outcome is the percent change in body weight from baseline to 24 months. Secondary outcomes cover diabetes onset, metabolic changes, obesity-related complications, and quality of life over 60 months. Participants will be monitored throughout the study duration for safety and health changes.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of KarXT in adults aged 55 to 90 years who have mild to severe Alzheimers Disease AD with moderate to severe psychosis related to AD. This Phase 3 study aims to compare KarXT with a placebo to see how well it works in treating psychosis symptoms associated with AD, focusing on changes in hallucinations and delusions. Participants will receive either KarXT capsules at varying doses or placebo capsules in a randomized, double-blind setup. The treatment period lasts up to 14 weeks, during which participants take the assigned capsules daily. The study design includes two groups running in parallel, with neither participants nor researchers knowing who receives the drug or placebo. During the study, participants will undergo assessments including the Neuropsychiatric Inventory-Clinician NPI-C focusing on hallucinations and delusions, Clinical Global Impressions-Severity scale, and other related scales to measure psychosis symptoms and caregiver distress. Safety and efficacy will be monitored throughout, with evaluations at baseline and at the end of treatment. The entire participation period extends up to 14 weeks.

This research focuses on people with psychosis linked to Alzheimers Disease who have completed earlier studies CN012-0026, CN012-0027, or CN012-0056. It is a Phase 3 global, multicenter, open-label extension study lasting 52 weeks that aims to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of KarXT in this population. Participants will receive KarXT capsules containing Xanomeline and Trospium Chloride. The study includes various dosing levels ranging from 202 mg to 66.76.67 mg taken three times daily. This open-label extension follows completion of previous studies and continues for up to 54 weeks from the initial dose, including a 14-day safety follow-up after the final dose. During the study, participants will be monitored for treatment-emergent adverse events and serious adverse events. Safety assessments include clinical evaluations throughout the treatment and 14 days after the last dose. The total participation time is approximately one year, allowing researchers to understand long-term effects of KarXT in this group.
