Official title: A Phase 1, Randomized, Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics, Safety, and Tolerability of Emraclidine Following Multiple Ascending Oral Doses in Healthy Elderly Subjects
Run by AbbVie · NCT07219030 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This trial will test how the pill emraclidine moves through the body and how well healthy older adults tolerate it.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Healthy older adults in generally good health who meet the BMI (18.0–32.0 kg/m2) and weight (>45 kg) criteria and have no significant medical conditions are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
People with significant cardiac, respiratory (beyond mild childhood asthma), renal, hepatic, neurological, psychiatric, immunologic, hematologic conditions, recent or active malignancy, or significant medication/food allergies are excluded and unlikely to benefit from participation.

What this trial studies
This Phase 1 interventional trial gives oral emraclidine or placebo to healthy elderly participants to characterize pharmacokinetics and monitor adverse events. Participants will receive oral doses and undergo timed blood sampling and other measures to track how the drug is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and eliminated. Safety monitoring includes recording adverse events, vital signs, laboratory tests, and ECGs, and eligible volunteers must be in generally good health with specified BMI and weight limits. The study is sponsored by AbbVie and is being conducted at clinical pharmacology sites in California and Florida.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the results could define safe dosing ranges and tolerability of emraclidine in older adults and guide later clinical studies.
How similar studies have gone: Early-phase pharmacokinetic and tolerability studies are a standard first step and have successfully characterized many oral drugs, though emraclidine itself is being tested here for this population.

Inclusion Criteria: * BMI is ≥ 18.0 to ≤ 32.0 kg/m2 after rounding to the tenths decimal at Screening. BMI is calculated as weight in kg divided by the square of height measured in meters. * Body weight \> 45 kg at the time of screening and upon initial confinement. * A condition of general good health, based upon the results of a medical history, physical examination, vital signs, laboratory profile and a 12-lead ECG. Exclusion Criteria: * History of any clinically significant cardiac, respiratory (except mild asthma as a child), renal, hepatic, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, immunological, hematologic, neurological or psychiatric disease or disorder, or any other uncontrolled medical illness. * History of any clinically significant sensitivity or allergy to any medication or food. * Evidence of dysplasia or history of malignancy (including lymphoma and leukemia) other than successfully treated non-metastatic cutaneous squamous cell, basal cell carcinoma or localized carcinoma in situ of the cervix.
