Brief Summary

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

This is a study of the efficacy and safety of BXCL501 in children and adolescents with acute agitation and either bipolar disorder or schizophrenia.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study will enroll approximately 140 subjects randomized to dose regimens of 80 µg or 120 µg BCXL501 or placebo (Group one), or 60 µg BCXL501 or placebo (Group two; Europe only). Subjects with acute agitation will include male and female children and adolescents who are either newly admitted to a hospital setting or already admitted and experiencing acute agitation. Subjects will be domiciled in a clinical research setting or hospitalized to remain under medical supervision while undergoing screening procedures to assess eligibility. Efficacy and safety assessments will be conducted periodically before and after dosing.

3. Patients who have a score of ≥ 4 on at least 1 of the 5 items on the PEC at Baseline.
4. Participants who agree to use a medically acceptable and effective birth control method

Exclusion Criteria

1. Patients with agitation caused by acute intoxication, including alcohol or drugs of abuse (with the exception of THC) during urine screening.
