About This Trial

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the dose levels, safety, and drug levels of KarXT intramuscular injection in participants with Schizophrenia

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 1 trials test a new treatment for the first time in humans, focusing on safety, dosing, and how the body processes the drug. For Schizophrenia, a Phase 1 study typically enrolls a small number of participants — often healthy volunteers or patients who have exhausted standard treatment options. Phase 1 results determine whether a treatment moves into larger Phase 2 efficacy studies.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

With a target enrollment of 48 participants, this is a small study — typical of early-phase research, rare-disease trials, or pilot studies designed to generate preliminary signal before a larger study is launched.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Inclusion Criteria - Participants must have a primary diagnosis of schizophrenia, as confirmed by psychiatric evaluation based on Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th Edition, Text Revision) (DSM-5-TR) criteria and Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) (version 7.0.2). - Participants must have a Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score ≤ 80 and a Clinical Global Impression - Severity (CGI-S) score ≤ 4 at both screening and baseline. - Participants must have a body mass index (BMI) between 18 and 40 kg/m². - Participants should be willing and able, as determined by the investigator, to discontinue all antipsychotic medications prior to the baseline visit and must be able to comply with all protocol requirements. Exclusion Criteria - Participants must not have newly diagnosed schizophrenia or a first treated episode of schizophrenia. - Participants must not have any other DSM-5-TR disorder diagnosed within the past 12 months, such as major depressive disorder or bipolar disorder. - Participants must not have a history of alcohol or drug use disorder within the past 12 months or those with clinically significant disease or disorder that would jeopardize their safety or affect the validity of study results. - Participants must not be at risk for suicidal behavior. - Female participants must not be pregnant or breastfeeding. - Other protocol-defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria apply. Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.
