Dexmedetomidine in the Treatment of Agitation Associated With Dementia (TRANQUILITY II)
brief summary
A study to determine the safety and efficacy of BXCL501 dosing for episodes of agitation associated with dementia when they occur (given as needed \[PRN\]), for a maximum of 28 doses within a 12-week treatment period.
detailed description
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group, 3-arm study assessing efficacy, safety, and tolerability of two doses of BXCL501 in male and female subjects (65 years and older) with acute psychomotor agitation. Subjects will be dosed PRN with a maximum of 28 doses over a 12-week period. Once a subject has received 28 doses of BXCL501, they will continue to be followed for the remainder of the 12-week study period.
Approximately 150 subjects will participate in this study. Subjects will receive a single film consisting of BXCL501 40 µg dose or BXCL501 60 µg dose or placebo in a 1:1:1 randomization scheme. Subjects must reside in a care facility where all study-related procedures and study drug dosing will be performed.
