Frequently asked questions about Paliperidone IR

What is Paliperidone IR used for?

Paliperidone IR is an investigational small molecule being studied for the treatment of schizophrenia. It is an immediate-release form of paliperidone developed by Johnson & Johnson. The clinical program has focused on patients with schizophrenia, with one completed Phase 1 study enrolling 328 participants.

What does Paliperidone IR target?

Paliperidone IR targets the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor (HTR2A) and the dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2). It acts as an antagonist at both receptors. This dual antagonism at HTR2A and DRD2 is the mechanism studied in schizophrenia, a condition associated with dopaminergic and serotonergic dysregulation.

Who makes Paliperidone IR?

Paliperidone IR is developed by Johnson & Johnson, which trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker JNJ. The company is the sponsor behind the clinical development program for this immediate-release formulation of paliperidone.

What phase is Paliperidone IR in?

Paliperidone IR is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by the FDA. The program includes one completed Phase 1 trial, and no active trials are currently listed for this asset.

What clinical trials is Paliperidone IR in?

Paliperidone IR has been evaluated in one completed Phase 1 trial, NCT01559272, titled A Study to Assess the Pharmacokinetics, Safety, and Tolerability of Paliperidone Palmitate in Patients With Schizophrenia. The trial enrolled 328 patients with schizophrenia across the United States, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Israel, Malaysia, Slovakia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, and Taiwan.

Is Paliperidone IR the same as Paliperidone IR (Period 1)?

Yes, Paliperidone IR (Period 1) is an alternative name for Paliperidone IR. Both names refer to the same immediate-release paliperidone asset developed by Johnson & Johnson for schizophrenia, so searches using either name point to the same investigational drug and its single completed Phase 1 study.
