SEP-363856 for Anxiety
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This Phase 3 study is testing whether two doses of an investigational drug called Ulotaront(50 mg/day and 75 mg/day) may be used as a possible treatment for adults with generalized anxiety disorder, compared with a placebo, over an 8-week period.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
Yes. To take part, you'll need to safely stop your current anxiety medications — such as antidepressants or anti-anxiety medications — during a screening period before starting the study, with your study doctor's guidance.
How does the drug Ulotaront differ from other treatments for anxiety?
Most approved treatments for generalized anxiety work by changing serotonin levels in the brain. Ulotaront is believed to change levels of dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin in the brain.
