A Study of Emraclidine for Adults with Schizophrenia

This study is looking at a new oral medication called emraclidine for adults with schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a brain disorder that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. The study wants to see how safe emraclidine is, if it helps with symptoms, and how it moves through your body. You would receive either emraclidine or a placebo (an inactive pill). About 268 people will join this study across the United States. To be eligible, you need to be between 18 and 65 years old, weigh over 110 lbs, and have a BMI between 18 and 40. Depending on which part of the study you join, there are also specific requirements about your current symptom severity.

Study design
This is an interventional study where participants will receive either oral emraclidine or a placebo. Approximately 268 participants will be enrolled.
What's involved
The study will assess adverse events and how emraclidine moves through the body for up to approximately 74 days.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will be followed for adverse events for up to approximately 74 days.

(Part A only): Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score \< 80 at Screening and at Baseline
(Part B only): Participant experiencing an acute exacerbation of psychotic symptoms with onset less than 2 months prior to Screening
(Part B only): Participant must have a PANSS total score from 80 to 120, inclusive, at Screening and at Baseline
(Part B only): Participant MUST have a score of ≥ 4 (moderate or greater) for ≥ 2 of the following PANSS Positive Scale items at Screening and at Baseline
(Part B only): Participant must have a Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGIS) score ≥ 4 (at least moderately ill) at Screening and Baseline

Exclusion

Any primary DSM-5 disorder other than schizophrenia (current nicotine use disorder and caffeine use disorder are allowed) within 12 months before Screening.
History of clozapine exposure.

  • Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs)Up to approximately 74 days

    An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. The investigator assesses the relationship of each event to the use of study.

    PANSS is a 30-item clinician-reported rating scale which assesses both the positive and negative symptom syndromes of patients with schizophrenia. The PANSS consists of 3 subscales containing a total of 30 symptom constructs. For each symptom construct, severity is rated on a 7-point scale, with a score of 1 indicating the absence of symptoms and a score of 7 indicating extremely severe symptoms.
