NCT ID NCT07084831
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a new medicine, Xanomeline/Trospium (also called KarXT), can improve thinking and memory in adults with schizophrenia. Unlike standard antipsychotics, this drug targets a different brain system and may help with cognitive symptoms. Researchers will follow 171 participants for up to a year, measuring changes in cognition, symptoms, and daily life.

- Active substance
- Xanomeline/Trospium (also known as KarXT/Cobenfy)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could show that Xanomeline/Trospium improves thinking and memory in people with schizophrenia, potentially leading to better daily functioning and quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase, open-label study with no placebo group, so results may be less reliable. Cognitive improvements are not guaranteed, and side effects are possible.
