Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are healthy adults of any sex or gender who can stay in an inpatient unit for three weeks, have BMI 18-40, and agree to contraception guidelines if applicable.
✕Probably not a fit
Individuals with significant cardiovascular, GI, or other medical issues, or those unable to comply with inpatient confinement, may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This phase 4 study examines the safety and tolerability of KarXT when taken with antiemetic medications in healthy volunteers. Participants will receive KarXT with either regular or as-needed antiemetic treatment in an inpatient setting for three weeks. The goal is to see if the combination reduces GI side effects without introducing new safety concerns. Results may guide how to manage KarXT-related nausea during initial treatment in patients with mental health conditions. No patient-focused efficacy outcomes are reported in this healthy volunteer study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the approach could reduce KarXT-related nausea and vomiting, improving tolerability for patients starting therapy.
How similar studies have gone: Previous similar approaches in other contexts have shown that antiemetic co-therapy can reduce treatment-related nausea, but this specific combination with KarXT in healthy volunteers is novel.

Inclusion Criteria: * Participants must be healthy male and female participants as determined by no clinically significant deviation from normal in medical history, physical examination, 12-lead ECG, 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 BMI ≥ 18 and ≤ 40 kg/m2. * Individuals of childbearing potential (IOCBP) must be willing and able to adhere to the contraception guidelines. Exclusion Criteria: * Participants must not have history or presence of clinically significant 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.
