Study summary

This study looks at how to reduce nausea and vomiting in people taking KarXT which is used to treat mental health conditions like schizophrenia. KarXT can cause stomach-related side effects, especially in the first couple of weeks. In this study, healthy volunteers will take KarXT along with anti-nausea medication, either regularly (to prevent symptoms) or as needed.

The goal is to see how well these strategies help reduce nausea and vomiting and how safe the combination is. The results will help doctors better manage side effects and make treatment more comfortable for patients starting KarXT.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Participants must be healthy male and female participants as determined by no deviation from normal in medical history, physical examination, 12-lead , VS, and clinical laboratory determinations.
  • Participants must be willing and able to be confined to an inpatient setting for a 3-week duration, follow instructions, and comply with the protocol requirements.
  • Participants must have ≥ 18 and ≤ 40 kg/m2.
  • Individuals of (IOCBP) must be willing and able to adhere to the guidelines.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Participants must not have history or presence of cardiovascular (eg, untreated or unstable hypertension, clinically significant tachycardia), pulmonary, renal, hematologic, gastrointestinal ([GI] eg, obstructive disorders [including conditions that may decrease GI motility, such as ulcerative colitis, intestinal atony, and myasthenia gravis], active biliary disease [including symptomatic gallstones]), endocrine, immunologic, dermatologic, neurologic, or oncologic disease or any other condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would jeopardize the safety of the participant or the validity of the study results.
  • Participants must not have history of moderate to severe alcohol use disorder or a substance (other than nicotine or caffeine) use disorder within the past 12 months or a positive urine drug screen (UDS) for a substance other than cannabis at screening or baseline.
  • Participants must not have history or high risk of urinary retention, gastric retention, or narrow-angle glaucoma.
  • Participants must not have active biliary disease (eg, symptomatic gallstones). Participants with other biliary histories are eligible and should be discussed with the medical monitor.
  • Other protocol-defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria apply.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(5)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

ECG (electrocardiogram)

A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, taken with stickers on the chest, arms and legs. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.

BMI (body mass index)

Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.

What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
