Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of KarXT combined with KarX-EC in adults aged 55 to 90 who have agitation related to Alzheimers Disease. This Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to address agitation symptoms in this population by comparing the investigational drugs with a placebo. The study is sponsored by Bristol-Myers Squibb and uses established diagnostic criteria for Alzheimers Disease. Participants will receive either the combination of XanomelineTrospium Chloride capsules KarXT KarX-EC or a placebo with specified doses on designated days. The study includes a parallel group design and treatment lasts for 14 weeks. The main focus is to assess changes in agitation using the Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory-International Psychogeriatric Association CMAI-IPA total score. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including cognitive and behavioral evaluations, safety monitoring through vital signs, laboratory tests, electrocardiograms, and rating scales for movement disorders and suicidal ideation. Caregivers will be involved to help monitor participant status and medication compliance. The primary outcome is measured at Week 14, with safety follow-up extending to Week 18. Participants are expected to be engaged throughout the treatment period and follow-up assessments.

Researchers are conducting a Phase 3 clinical trial to evaluate the drug DT120 compared to placebo in adults aged 18 to 74 years diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder MDD. Participants must have a confirmed diagnosis according to the DSM-5, be experiencing a major depressive episode lasting between 8 weeks and 24 months, and have certain minimum scores on depression severity scales. The study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of DT120 in treating MDD symptoms. The study includes a 12-week randomized, double-blind period where participants receive a single dose of either DT120 or placebo. After this, eligible participants can enter a 40-week open-label extension phase where all receive DT120 and are monitored for safety and symptom changes, with the possibility of retreatment based on specific criteria. The study drug works mainly through serotonin 2A receptor activity. Participants will undergo various assessments throughout the study, including regular evaluations of depression severity using the Montgomery-sberg Depression Rating Scale MADRS, Clinical Global Impression scales, anxiety rating, quality of life questionnaires, and sexual functioning assessments. The primary outcome is the change in MADRS score at Week 6. Safety and treatment needs will also be monitored during the extension phase. Total participation may last up to 52 weeks, with ongoing monitoring of mood and symptom changes.

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.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of two drugs, EXV-802 and EXV-801, for treating agitation in people with Alzheimers Disease dementia. This Phase 23 clinical trial is multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, and includes about 300 participants diagnosed with Alzheimers-related agitation based on established criteria and biomarkers. The trial is sponsored by Exciva GmbH and conducted in the US, Canada, and Europe. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups receiving EXV-802 capsules, EXV-801 capsules, or placebo capsules, each taken twice daily for 6 weeks. Before treatment, a screening period of about 4 weeks will ensure participants meet all criteria. The trial compares these treatments to assess potential benefits and safety. During the study, participants will be monitored regularly, including assessments of agitation severity using the Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory and Clinical Global Impression of Severity scores at baseline and after 6 weeks. Caregivers will play a key role by being in contact with participants for at least two hours on four separate days weekly. Safety and treatment effects will be followed throughout the trial until its completion in 2029.
