MINDSET 2 Study: Testing a New Pill Treatment for Alzheimer's disease
MINDSET 2 is a phase 3 clinical trial conducted by Bristol-Myers for people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. The study tests whether a new pill treatment (KarXT + KarX-EC) is safe and can help with thinking and memory problems. This is an experimental treatment not yet approved by the FDA.
Eligibility Criteria
Study goal and designEvaluating KarXT + KarX-EC for cognitive impairment
This Phase 3 clinical trial conducted by Bristol-Myers is testing whether the new pill treatment (KarXT + KarX-EC) is safe and can improve memory, thinking, and daily functioning in people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease.
Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the experimental treatment or a placebo, so researchers can compare the effects. These drugs are still investigational and have not yet been approved by the FDA.


Study-related care and supportComprehensive medical evaluations and monitoring
While contributing to research, participants receive:
- The possibility to receive the investigational study drug (KarXT + KarX-EC)
- Regular cognitive assessments and medical evaluations
- Study visits with qualified medical professionals
- Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) assessments
All medical and travel costs related to the study are covered. Participants must have a designated caregiver who maintains adequate contact (around 10 hours per week or more) and is willing to attend all study visits.
