IXT-m200
Treatment as Usual (TAU)
IXT-m200 is a high-affinity chimeric anti-METH monoclonal antibody that is well-tolerated in healthy volunteers and in non-intoxicated people with METH use disorder. The total dose will be given over 10 min for the 0.5-g dose and over 20 min for the 1-, 1.5-, and 2-g doses.
Lorazepam is a benzodiazepine that is safe and commonly used to treat agitation and dysphoria in the emergency setting. Haloperidol is commonly used to treat agitation due to psychosis.
