Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change From Baseline to Week 24 in MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Battery (MCCB) Neurocognitive Composite Score
Baseline up to Week 24

The MCCB is a cognitive battery to assess 7 domains recommended by the MATRICS initiative (i.e., working memory, verbal learning, speed of processing, attention/vigilance, visual learning, social cognition, reasoning and problem solving). The MCCB neurocognitive composite T-score is a standardized mean of the six domain scores (excluding social cognition). Raw scores are converted to age and sex adjusted t-scores which are standardized to normative data, and have a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10 in the general healthy population. A higher composite T-score represents lower impairment.

What is Basmisanil used for?

Basmisanil has been studied for use in healthy volunteers and in participants with cognitive impairment associated with schizophrenia (CIAS) who are treated with antipsychotics. Its development has focused on these conditions, with clinical trials completed in both areas.

Who makes Basmisanil?

Basmisanil is being developed by Roche Holding AG, which trades under the ticker RHHBY. Roche is the pharmaceutical company responsible for advancing this investigational small molecule through clinical research.

What phase is Basmisanil in?

Basmisanil has completed a Phase 1 study in healthy volunteers and a Phase 2 study in schizophrenia patients. The drug is investigational and remains in clinical development, with no FDA approval granted.

What clinical trials is Basmisanil in?

Basmisanil has been studied in two completed trials. NCT02534207 was a Phase 1 positron emission tomography study in Japanese healthy volunteers in the United Kingdom. NCT02953639 was a Phase 2 study evaluating effects in participants with cognitive impairment associated with schizophrenia in the United States.

Is Basmisanil the same as other names?

Basmisanil is the primary name for this investigational drug. No alternative names have been reported in the clinical trial data, so it is not known to be the same as any other drug under a different name.
