Brief summary

Schizophrenia is a common and severe psychiatric illness characterized by extreme disturbances of cognition and thought, affecting language, perception and sense of self. This study will assess adverse events, change in disease activity, and how oral emraclidine moves through the body in adult participants with schizophrenia Emraclidine is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of schizophrenia. Participants are placed in one of two parts, Part A or Part B, where each group will receive a different treatment. Participants will receive either oral emraclidine or placebo. Approximately 268 participants will be enrolled across roughly 32 sites in the United States. Participants in Part A will be assigned to oral emraclidine or placebo administered for 14 days or up to 21 days depending on cohort. Cohorts without titration include a 14-day treatment period at target dose. Cohorts with titration are comprised of a titration period of up to 7 days and a 14-day treatment period at the cohort target dose. Participants in Part B will receive oral emraclidine or placebo. Participants will be followed for 30 days after the last dose of the study drug. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Part B Only-Change from Baseline in in Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGIS) scoreUp to approximately Week 6CGIS is a single, clinician-reported item that measures the clinician's impression of a participant's current anxiety severity considering their total clinical experience with the patient population. The measure uses a 7-point Likert rating scale with responses ranging from "normal, to at all ill" (1) to "among the most extremely ill patients" (5), with higher scores indicating greater anxiety severity.
Part B Only-Change from Baseline in Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total scoreUp to approximately 74 daysPANSS 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.
Part B Only-Number of Participants achieving ≥ 30% improvement in PANSS total scoreUp to approximately week 6PANSS 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.
Part B Only-Number of Participants achieving remission (PANSS total score ≤ 60)Up to approximately week 6PANSS is a 30-item clinician-reported rating scale which assesses both the positive and negative symptom syndromes of patients with schizophrenia.
