Long-Term Safety Study of Direclidine in Adults with Schizophrenia

3 1 1

What is this study about?

This study involves adults with schizophrenia, which is a mental health condition that can affect how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. The treatment being tested is called NBI-1117568, which is an investigational medication given as a hard capsule that is taken by mouth. The active ingredient in this medication is direclidine.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of NBI-1117568 in adults with schizophrenia. The study will look at what unwanted effects or side effects may occur when people take this medication over an extended period of time. This is an open-label study, which means that both the participants and the doctors will know that everyone is receiving the actual medication rather than placebo.

During the study, participants will receive NBI-1117568 for up to 156 weeks, which is about three years. Some participants may be coming directly from a previous study where they were already taking this medication. Throughout the treatment period, doctors will monitor participants regularly to check for any side effects or health changes that may occur while taking the medication. The study will track and record any unwanted effects that participants experience during the treatment period.

1 Treatment period begins

After enrollment in the study, the treatment period will begin. This study is described as open-label, which means that both the patient and the doctor will know which medication is being administered.

The study will assess the long-term safety and tolerability of the investigational medication in adults with schizophrenia.

2 Receiving the investigational medication

The medication used in this study is called NBI-1117568, which contains the active substance direclidine.

The medication is provided in the form of hard capsules that are taken orally, meaning by mouth.

Specific dosage, frequency, and duration of administration will be determined individually during the study. The exact details regarding these parameters are not specified in the available information.

3 Safety monitoring during treatment

Throughout the treatment period, the occurrence of adverse events will be monitored. Adverse events are any unwanted medical occurrences or side effects that may happen during the study.

This monitoring is the primary focus of the study and will continue for the duration of participation.

4 Continuation of treatment

The study is designed to evaluate long-term safety, which means participation may extend over an extended period.

The estimated duration of the study extends until January 2032, though individual participation length may vary.

Regular assessments will be conducted to evaluate how well the medication is tolerated over time.

Schizophrenia – Schizophrenia is a chronic mental disorder that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. People with this condition may experience episodes where they lose touch with reality, which can include hearing voices or seeing things that are not there. The disorder typically begins in late adolescence or early adulthood and tends to develop gradually over time. Individuals may have difficulty distinguishing between what is real and what is imaginary. The condition also affects a person’s ability to think clearly, manage emotions, and relate to others. Symptoms can vary in intensity and may come and go in cycles throughout a person’s life.
