Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with a primary diagnosis of schizophrenia who are experiencing an acute relapse that warrants inpatient care, are willing to discontinue prohibited antipsychotics, and can remain hospitalized for the study duration are the ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with unstable or poorly controlled medical conditions, recent moderate-to-severe substance use disorder, imminent suicide or violence risk, or known hypersensitivity to the drug are unlikely to benefit from participation.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This Phase 3, placebo-controlled inpatient trial compares NBI-1117568 with placebo in adults who are experiencing an acute exacerbation of schizophrenia and require hospitalization. Participants must discontinue prohibited antipsychotics before enrollment and remain in a supervised inpatient setting while receiving study medication or placebo. The primary outcome is change in behavioral and psychological symptoms of schizophrenia from baseline compared with placebo, with safety and tolerability monitored throughout the inpatient period.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, NBI-1117568 could reduce acute behavioral and psychological symptoms and potentially shorten or ease hospital stays for adults with schizophrenia.
How similar studies have gone: Placebo-controlled trials of other antipsychotics have demonstrated symptom improvements in acute schizophrenia, but NBI-1117568's efficacy is still being tested in this Phase 3 program.
