Trial Summary

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.

How is the drug KarXT different from other treatments for bipolar disorder?

KarXT is unique because it combines two components, xanomeline and trospium, which target different pathways in the brain, potentially offering a novel approach to treating bipolar disorder compared to traditional mood stabilizers like lithium and valproate.12345
