An Extension Study to Assess Long-term Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of KarXT in Adult Patients With Schizophrenia (EMERGENT-4)

Completed · Phase 3

Conditions studied: Schizophrenia

In brief

This is a Phase 3, multicenter, 53-week, outpatient, open-label extension (OLE) study to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy of KarXT in subjects with Diagnostic and Statistical Manual-Fifth Edition (DSM-5) schizophrenia who previously completed the treatment period of one of the two Phase 3 double-blind studies, KAR-007 or KAR-009. In this OLE study, all subjects will receive KarXT (a fixed combination of xanomeline 125 mg and trospium chloride 30 mg twice daily \[BID\]) for up to 52 weeks regardless of treatment assignment in the preceding Phase 3 acute study. The primary objective of the study is to assess the long-term safety and tolerability of KarXT in subjects with a DSM-5 diagnosis of schizophrenia. The secondary objective of this study is to assess the long-term efficacy and monitor trough concentrations of xanomeline and trospium after administration of KarXT.
