Assessing the safety and pharmacokinetics of xanomeline with trospium in healthy Japanese adults and elderly

A 2-Part, Phase 1, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of Multiple Doses of Dual-burst Release of Xanomeline With Immediate-Release Trospium Chloride Versus KarXT in Healthy Adult and Elderly Participants of Japanese Ethnicity (Part 1) and an Open-label Study to Assess the Effect of Omeprazole on the Pharmacokinetics of Dual-burst Release of Xanomeline With Immediate-Release Trospium Chloride in Healthy Adult Participants (Part 2)

Phase 1 Interventional Karuna Therapeutics · NCT06605950

This study is testing how safe and effective a new combination of medications is for healthy Japanese adults and older people, while also looking at how another drug affects their absorption.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of xanomeline combined with trospium chloride in healthy adult and elderly participants of Japanese ethnicity. It compares the effects of multiple doses of KarXT and KarX-EC capsules against a placebo. Additionally, the study investigates how omeprazole influences the pharmacokinetics of xanomeline and trospium in healthy adults. Participants will be closely monitored for any adverse effects and changes in drug absorption.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are healthy adults aged 19 to 55 or elderly individuals aged 56 to 90 of first-generation Japanese ancestry.

Not a fit: Patients who are not of Japanese ethnicity or those with significant health issues may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide insights into the safe use and dosing of xanomeline and trospium in Japanese populations, potentially leading to better treatment options.

How similar studies have performed: While this study focuses on a specific ethnic group, similar pharmacokinetic studies have shown promise in understanding drug interactions and safety profiles.
