NCT ID NCT07230652
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This Phase 1 trial tests the safety and tolerability of a new extended-release tablet called LY03020 in 40 Chinese adults, including healthy volunteers and people with stable schizophrenia. The drug is also being explored for psychosis related to Alzheimer's disease. Participants receive either the drug or a placebo, and researchers monitor side effects and how the drug moves through the body. This is an early-stage study, so it focuses on safety rather than effectiveness.
