COBENFY

Bristol Myers Squibb announced that the FDA has approved COBENFY® (xanomeline and trospium chloride). COBENFY represents the first new class of medicine in several decades and introduces a fundamentally new approach to treating schizophrenia by selectively targeting M1 and M4 receptors in the brain without blocking D2 receptors. COBENFY® (xanomeline and trospium chloride), formerly KarXT, is an oral medication for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults. COBENFY combines xanomeline, a dual M1 - and M4 - preferring muscarinic receptor agonist, with trospium chloride, a muscarinic receptor antagonist that does not appreciably cross the blood-brain barrier, primarily acting in peripheral tissues. While the exact mechanism of action of COBENFY is unknown, its efficacy is thought to be due to the agonist activity of xanomeline at M1 and M4 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in the central nervous system.
