Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

The primary outcome measure is change in the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) at Week 6 compared to baseline values.
6 weeks
Determine whether talnetant provided adequate relief from IBS pain and discomfort for at least one of three talnetant dose groups compared with placebo and to determine the safety and tolerability of talnetant in subjects with IBS.
Change from baseline in the PANSS total score.

Secondary Endpoints

The secondary measures assess both efficacy (cognition, depression) as well as a variety of safety/tolerability endpoints (adverse events, motor function, laboratory measures).
6 weeks
- Explore response among subgroups IBS. - Evaluate positive treatment effects within bowel subgroups. - Compare treatment groups for global improvement of IBS symptoms. - Improvement of IBS pain or discomfort, Quality of Life.
Secondary measures assessed efficacy, safety & tolerability endpoints using the PANSS, BPRS Psychosis score, CGI-S, CGI-GI, Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia, Brief Assessment of Cognition for Schizophrenia, and others.

Frequently asked questions about talnetant

What is talnetant?

Talnetant is an investigational small molecule developed by GSK plc (ticker GSK) that has been studied in Phase 2 clinical trials for schizophrenia and irritable colon, also known as irritable bowel syndrome. It is a TACR3 antagonist. It has not been approved by the FDA and remains a clinical-stage research compound.

What is talnetant used for?

Talnetant has been studied for two indications: schizophrenia and irritable colon, or irritable bowel syndrome. All of its clinical work has been in Phase 2 trials, and the program's trials are listed as completed. It is not an approved treatment for either condition.

What does talnetant target?

Talnetant targets TACR3, also known as the neurokinin-3 receptor, and acts as an antagonist, meaning it blocks signaling at that receptor. This target class distinguishes it from dopamine-based antipsychotics, and the mechanism was the basis for testing it in schizophrenia and irritable bowel syndrome.

Who makes talnetant?

Talnetant is developed by GSK plc, which trades under the ticker GSK. GSK sponsored the Phase 2 clinical program evaluating the compound in schizophrenia and irritable colon. No other developer is associated with the asset in the available trial record.

What phase is talnetant in?

Talnetant is in Phase 2. All four of its registered trials were Phase 2 studies, and all are now completed, with no active trials ongoing. The compound is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA for any indication.

What clinical trials is talnetant in?

Talnetant has been evaluated in completed Phase 2 trials including NCT00300963 and NCT00103727, which compared it with risperidone and placebo in schizophrenia, NCT00049946 in adults with schizophrenia, and NCT00101985, an eight-week irritable bowel syndrome study run across the United States, Europe, Canada, Australia, and South Africa.
