Karuna Therapeu Azione

Karuna Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company. It creates and delivers transformative medicines for people living with psychiatric and neurological conditions. Its pipeline built on the therapeutic potential of its lead product candidate, KarXT (xanomeline-trospium), an oral modulator of muscarinic receptors that are located both in the central nervous system (CNS) and various peripheral tissues. KarXT combines xanomeline, a novel muscarinic agonist, with trospium, an approved muscarinic antagonist, to preferentially stimulate muscarinic receptors in the CNS. It is developing KarXT for the treatment of acute psychosis in adults with schizophrenia, and for the treatment of psychosis in Alzheimer's disease. Its pipeline also includes clinical-stage candidate KAR-2618, a TRPC4/5 inhibitor for the treatment of mood and anxiety disorders, and pre-clinical muscarinic, TRPC4/5 and target-agnostic compounds for the treatment of psychiatric and neurological conditions.
