Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

KarXT

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Xanomeline and Trospium Chloride Capsules

Intervention Type DRUG

Oral xanomeline 50 mg/trospium chloride 20 mg BID on days 1-2 followed by xanomeline 100 mg/trospium chloride 20 mg BID on days 3-7. The dosage is increased to xanomeline 125 mg/trospium chloride 30 mg BID on days 8-364 unless the subject is experiencing adverse events from the xanomeline 100 mg/ trospium chloride 20 mg dose. Subjects who were increased to xanomeline 125 mg/trospium chloride 30 mg will have the option to return to xanomeline 100 mg/ trospium chloride 20 mg depending on clinical response and tolerability. Re-escalation to 125/30 BID or re-titration in cases in which the subject has been off KarXT for a longer period of time (at least a week) is allowed and will require a discussion between the principal investigator and the medical monitor.
