Improving Cognition in People with Schizophrenia
Briefly

Xanomeline trospium chloride (XT) received FDA approval in fall 2024 for treating schizophrenia in adults, showing promise beyond traditional antipsychotics. Traditional medications primarily alleviate psychotic symptoms, but XT additionally targets negative symptoms and cognitive deficits, enhancing overall patient well-being. It operates through unique stimulation of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in the brain, divergent from existing antipsychotics, which can lead to improvements in executive function, attention, and memory. Phase three clinical trials highlighted XT's efficacy in bolstering cognitive abilities in patients, making it a comprehensive treatment option for schizophrenia.
Xanomeline trospium chloride (XT) represents a new era in schizophrenia treatment, addressing positive, negative symptoms, and cognitive deficits through its unique acetylcholine action.
