Summary

This is a single site clinical trial in which 12 participants with schizophrenia will be randomized to one of three doses of treatment with Cobenfy for 5 weeks. \[18F\]DOPA PET scans will be obtained before and after treatment to examine the effects of Cobenfy on dopamine transmission.

The overall objective of the current study is to measure Cobenfy's ability to engage its putative target (DA transmission/synthesis capacity in the striatum and midbrain as measured by \[18F\]DOPA Kicer (\[18F\]DOPA relative uptake rate)).

Conditions

  • SCHIZOPHRENIA 1 (Disorder)
  • Schizoaffecitve Disorder

Interventions

DRUG

Xanomeline and trospium chloride (KarXT)

Subjects will be randomized to 5 weeks of low, middle, or high dose of Xanomeline and trospium chloride, and will complete a PET scan with \[18\]F DOPA at the beginning and end of the treatment period.
