NCT ID NCT07284472

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests two experimental drugs, EXV-802 and EXV-801, to see if they can safely reduce agitation in people with Alzheimer's dementia. About 300 participants aged 55-90 with moderate to severe agitation will receive either the drug or a placebo twice daily for 6 weeks. The main goal is to measure changes in agitated behaviors using a standard rating scale.
