مستخلص: A recent study published in The Lancet has shown that a novel therapy called Xanomeline-trospium (KarXT) has led to significant improvements in positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia compared to a placebo. The treatment was not associated with weight gain or severe side effects, and it works by activating muscarinic receptors rather than blocking dopamine receptors like current antipsychotic medications. The US Food and Drug Administration has accepted the company's new drug application for KarXT, and the results of the study suggest that it could be a promising alternative for patients with schizophrenia. However, more research is needed to determine its effectiveness compared to existing treatments. [Extracted from the article]
