PRODUCT PIPELINE
IGALMI™ (dexmedetomidine) sublingual film is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the acute treatment of agitation associated with schizophrenia or bipolar I or II disorder in adults. Please see full Prescribing Information. BXCL501 is being evaluated as a potential treatment for agitation associated with multiple psychiatric and neurological disorders.
Through OnkosXcel Therapeutics, our wholly owned subsidiary, we are developing BXCL701, an investigational oral innate immune activator, as a potential therapy for the treatment of aggressive forms of prostate cancer and other solid and liquid tumors.

BXCL501
BXCL501 is our most advanced neuroscience clinical asset. In indications other than those approved by the FDA as IGALMI, BXCL501 is an investigational, proprietary, orally dissolving film formulation of dexmedetomidine, a selective alpha-2 receptor agonist targeting symptoms from stress-related behaviors such as agitation. Please see full Prescribing Information.
BioXcel Therapeutics believes BXCL501 potentially targets an important mediator of agitation and has observed anti-agitation results in multiple clinical trials across several neuropsychiatric disorders. BXCL501 is being evaluated for the potential acute treatment of agitation associated with dementia due to probable Alzheimer’s disease in the care setting, and for the acute treatment of agitation associated with bipolar I or II disorder or schizophrenia in the at-home setting. The safety and efficacy of BXCL501 for these investigational uses have not been established.
BXCL501 has been granted Breakthrough Therapy designation by the FDA for the acute treatment of agitation associated with dementia and Fast Track designation for the acute treatment of agitation associated with schizophrenia, bipolar disorders, and dementia.
