BioXcel enrolls first patients in DoW-funded Phase 2a BXCL501 acute stress trial
  • BioXcel Therapeutics reported first patients enrolled in a U.S. Department of War-funded Phase 2a trial of BXCL501, its sublingual dexmedetomidine film, for acute stress reactions.
  • Study is designed to enroll 100 patients following motor vehicle collisions.
  • Trial will assess whether BXCL501 can ease acute stress symptoms, support cognitive recovery, reduce risk of longer-term post-traumatic psychiatric problems.
  • No results have been presented; outcomes are expected in a future readout.
  • Positive findings could support a shift in VA/DoW clinical guidance, which currently prioritizes psychotherapy and generally discourages drug treatment for acute stress reactions.
