New schizophrenia pill aims to keep symptoms at bay
NCT ID NCT07227818
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This Phase 3 trial tests whether the experimental drug NBI-1117568 can delay relapse of schizophrenia symptoms compared to a placebo. About 560 adults with stable schizophrenia will first receive the drug openly, then be randomly assigned to continue it or switch to placebo. The main goal is to see how long it takes for symptoms to return.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

- NBI-1117568 (oral capsules)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a new treatment option to help people with schizophrenia maintain stability and prevent symptom relapse.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 3 study, so results are not yet proven. The drug may not work better than placebo, and side effects are still being evaluated.
