In a significant development, Bristol-Myers Squibb Company is conducting a Phase 3 study titled A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel Group Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of KarXT + KarX-EC for the Treatment of Agitation Associated With Alzheimer’s Disease. The study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of the drug combination KarXT + KarX-EC in treating agitation in Alzheimer’s patients, a condition that significantly impacts patient quality of life and caregiver burden.
The study is testing two interventions: Xanomeline/Trospium Chloride Capsule and Xanomeline Enteric Capsule, both designed to alleviate agitation symptoms in Alzheimer’s patients. These drugs are being compared against a placebo to determine their effectiveness.
This interventional study follows a randomized, parallel assignment model with quadruple masking, meaning that participants, care providers, investigators, and outcomes assessors are unaware of the treatment allocations. The primary purpose of the study is treatment-focused.
The study began on July 16, 2025, with its primary completion and estimated overall completion dates yet to be announced. The most recent update was submitted on August 20, 2025, indicating ongoing recruitment and progress.
For investors, this study could have significant implications for Bristol-Myers Squibb’s stock performance. Successful outcomes could enhance the company’s portfolio in the Alzheimer’s treatment market, potentially boosting investor confidence. Given the competitive landscape in Alzheimer’s therapies, positive results could position Bristol-Myers Squibb favorably against its peers.
The study is currently recruiting, with further details available on the ClinicalTrials portal.
