New hope for bipolar mania: KarXT trial launches
NCT ID NCT07140913
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding KarXT to standard mood stabilizers (lithium, valproate, or lamotrigine) helps control manic episodes in people with bipolar I disorder. About 424 adults hospitalized for mania will receive either KarXT or a placebo for 5 weeks. The main goal is to see if mania symptoms improve more with KarXT.
