This clinical trial looks to see if the medications KarXT + KarX-EC improve memory and thinking problems in people with Alzheimer’s Disease.
What Happens In This Study?
You will either be given medicines called KarXT + KarX-EC or two placebos (dummy pills that looks like the medicine but have no active ingredients). Neither you, nor the research team, will know which group you are in.
