First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This Phase 2 trial tests whether a new drug called NTX-1472 can safely reduce symptoms of social anxiety disorder. About 100 adults will take either the drug or a placebo daily for 8 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in anxiety and avoidance using a standard scale, and track any side effects.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

NTX-1472 (a V1a receptor antagonist)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for social anxiety disorder that works differently from current medications.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may not prove more effective than placebo, and side effects are still being studied.
