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.

What this could mean

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

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.
