Pilot Study Comparing Effects of Xanomeline Alone to Xanomeline Plus Trospium

Overview

This study is intended to determine whether the addition of trospium chloride to xanomeline tartrate will ameliorate the peripheral cholinergic side effects that have been previously experienced with xanomeline tartrate when administered alone.

Full Title of Study: “A Phase I, Double-Blind, Randomized, Multiple-Dose, Pilot Study Comparing Xanomeline Administered Alone to Xanomeline Administered in Combination With Trospium Chloride in Normal Healthy Volunteers”

Study Type

  • Study Type: Interventional
  • Study Design
    • Allocation: Randomized
    • Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
    • Primary Purpose: Treatment
    • Masking: Triple (Participant, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor)
  • Study Primary Completion Date: October 28, 2016

Detailed Description

In this inpatient study, volunteers will received either xanomeline alone, or xanomeline plus trospium for 7 days. Subjects will report cholinergic side effects daily via visual analog scales, for each of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, sweating and excessive salivation. Clinician administered scales will also be administered daily for assessment of the same cholinergic side effects.

Interventions

  • Drug: xanomeline tartrate
    • xanomeline tartrate, 75 mg capsule, TID
  • Drug: Trospium chloride
    • trospium chloride, over encapsulated 20 mg tablet, BID

Arms, Groups and Cohorts

  • Active Comparator: Xanomeline plus placebo
    • Drug: Xanomeline tartrate 75 mg TID, for 225 mg total daily dose Placebo, TID
  • Experimental: Xanomeline plus trospium
    • Drug: Xanomeline tartrate 75 mg TID, for 225 mg total daily dose Drug: Trospium chloride 20 mg BID, for a 40 mg total daily dose

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • Mean weekly maximum composite Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score (nausea, diarrhea, sweating, salivation and vomiting combined) comparing xanomeline + placebo to xanomeline + trospium
    • Time Frame: 7 days
