Trial overview
The available clinical trial for GXV813 is a Phase 2 interventional study called STAR-1.[1] It is authorised and includes 142 participants.[1]
The study is designed to assess the safety, tolerability, and treatment response of GXV813 in people with schizophrenia.[1] The trial compares GXV813 with placebo to see whether the study drug improves symptoms.[1]
Who is being studied
This study focuses on hospitalized adults with schizophrenia who are having an acute episode.[1] The trial summary says the participants are adult inpatients diagnosed according to DSM-5 criteria.[1]
In simple terms, this means the study is looking at people who are currently in the hospital and whose symptoms are active enough to need close care.[1]
What is being measured
The main endpoint is the change from baseline in PANSS total score at 6 weeks.[1] Baseline means the starting point before treatment begins.[1]
PANSS stands for Positive and Negative Symptom Scale, which is a rating tool used to measure schizophrenia symptoms.[1] A change in this score helps researchers see whether symptoms improve, worsen, or stay the same over time.[1]
Trial design and treatment groups
The study is interventional, which means researchers assign the treatment rather than just observing what happens.[1] The interventions listed are GXV813 given orally and placebo in hard gelatin capsule form.[1]
Placebo is a comparison treatment that does not contain the active study drug.[1] Using placebo helps researchers judge whether any symptom change is due to GXV813 rather than chance or other factors.[1]
Why this study matters
Schizophrenia can affect both positive symptoms, such as hallucinations or delusions, and negative symptoms, such as low motivation or reduced speech.[1] This trial is important because it focuses on both types of symptoms in a hospital setting where people may need close monitoring.[1]
Because the study is in Phase 2, it is part of the process of learning whether GXV813 may help people with schizophrenia and how it performs in a larger patient group.[1]
