New anxiety drug shows promise in early trial

NCT ID NCT05749055

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tested a new drug called ENX-102 in 252 adults with generalized anxiety disorder. Participants received either the drug or a placebo for several weeks. Researchers measured changes in anxiety symptoms using a standard rating scale. The goal was to see if ENX-102 reduces anxiety better than a placebo and to check its safety.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

ENX-102 (a drug that targets GABA receptors in the brain to reduce anxiety)

What this could lead to

If successful, ENX-102 could offer a new treatment option for people with generalized anxiety disorder, potentially with fewer side effects than current medications.

What could go wrong

This is a Phase 2 trial with only 252 participants, so results may not hold up in larger studies. The drug may not work better than placebo, and side effects are still being evaluated.
