New hope for schizophrenia: KarXT enters Late-Stage trial

NCT ID NCT06882785

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This phase 3 study tests whether KarXT, a new drug, can safely reduce schizophrenia symptoms in 250 Japanese adults experiencing acute psychosis. Participants first receive either KarXT or a placebo for 5 weeks, then all may receive KarXT for a year. The goal is to see if KarXT improves symptoms like hallucinations and disorganized thinking.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

KarXT (also known as BMS-986510)

What this could lead to

If successful, KarXT could offer a new treatment option for schizophrenia, helping to control symptoms like hallucinations and delusions.

What could go wrong

This is a phase 3 trial, but it is still early to know if KarXT works better than existing treatments. Side effects are possible, and results may not apply to all patients.
