Summary

This phase 2 trial is testing whether the drug lumateperone can reduce stuttering symptoms in adults with moderate to severe childhood-onset stuttering. Participants take either lumateperone (21 mg or 42 mg) or a placebo daily for several weeks. Researchers will measure changes in stuttering severity using self-report scales and clinician assessments.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
a drug called lumateperone (ITI-007) taken as a tablet once daily
What this could lead to
If effective, lumateperone could become a new medication option to help reduce stuttering symptoms in adults.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 24 participants, so results may not apply widely. The drug may cause side effects or prove no better than placebo.
