Phase 3
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Psychosis Associated With Alzheimer's Disease
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT06126224
Lead Sponsor
Karuna Therapeutics
Brief Summary

This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of KarXT in male and female subjects who are aged 55 to 90 years and have mild to severe Alzheimer's Disease (AD) with moderate to severe psychosis related to AD.

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of KarXT compared with placebo in the treatment of subjects with psychosis associated with AD as measured by the Neuropsychiatric Inventory-Clinician (NPI-C): Hallucinations and Delusions (H+D) score.

  4. Significant or severe medical conditions including pulmonary, hepatic, renal, hematologic, gastrointestinal, endocrine, immunologic, dermatologic, neurologic, cardiovascular, or oncologic disease or any other condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, could jeopardize the safety of the subject, ability to complete or comply with the study procedures or validity of the study results.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change from Baseline to End of Treatment in the Neuropsychiatric Inventory-Clinician: Hallucinations and Delusions (NPI-C: H+D) scoreBaseline and End of Treatment (up to 14 weeks)

Neuropsychiatric Inventory-Clinician: Hallucinations and Delusions scale includes 2 domains from the NPI-C scale, namely, hallucinations and delusions. These 2 domains include the following number of items to be rated by the clinician: Hallucinations, 7 items (maximum score = 21) and Delusions, 8 items (maximum score = 24). The maximum score for the NPI-C: H+D scale is 45. Higher scores on this scale indicate worse outcomes.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change from Baseline to End of Treatment in the Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory (CMAI) scoreBaseline and End of Treatment (up to 14 weeks)

Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory (CMAI) is a caregiver's rating 29-item questionnaire used to assess the frequency of manifestations of agitated behaviors in older adults. Each item is rated on a 7-point scale ranging from "1 = never" to "7 = several times per hour." Higher scores on this scale indicate worse outcomes.

Change from Baseline to End of Treatment in the Clinical Global Impressions-Severity (CGI-S) scaleBaseline and End of Treatment (up to 14 weeks)

Clinical Global Impressions-Severity (CGI-S) requires the assessor to consider aspects of the psychosis (hallucinations and delusions) prior to providing a global assessment of severity. Higher scores on this scale indicate worse outcomes.
