Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Iloperidone Divided by the Average Plasma Concentration (Cav) of Iloperidone (Cmax/Cav) - Phase B
Pre-dose to 26 days post-dose

Blood samples for pharmacokinetic (PK) evaluation were drawn pre-dose and at 3, 6, and 12 hours on Day 1; at 0 and 12 hours on Day 2; and on Days 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 14, 18, 22, and 26 following administration of iloperidone. PK parameters were calculated from plasma concentration-time data using non-compartmental methods.

The Average Plasma Concentration (Cav) of Iloperidone - Phase C
Pre-dose to 26 days post-dose

Blood samples for pharmacokinetic (PK) evaluation were drawn pre-dose and at 3, 6, and 12 hours on Day 1; at 0 and 12 hours on Day 2; and on Days 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 14, 18, 22, and 26 following administration of iloperidone. Blood samples were collected after each depot injection. PK parameters were calculated from plasma concentration-time data using non-compartmental methods. Cav was calculated as AUC0-672h/672 h.

Iloperidone 125 mg crystalline formulation - Phase AEXPERIMENTALParticipants received a crystalline formulation of iloperidone 125 mg in a depot IM injection 1 time. Prior to receiving IM iloperidone, participants were gradually titrated up with oral iloperidone for at least 7 days to stable doses of 12 to 24 mg daily.
Iloperidone 250 mg crystalline formulation - Phase BEXPERIMENTALParticipants received a crystalline formulation of iloperidone 250 mg in a depot IM injection 1 time. Prior to receiving IM iloperidone, participants were gradually titrated up with oral iloperidone for at least 10 to 14 days to stable doses of 12 to 24 mg daily.
Iloperidone 250 mg microparticle formulation - Phase BEXPERIMENTALParticipants received a microparticle formulation of iloperidone 250 mg in a depot IM injection 1 time. Prior to receiving IM iloperidone, participants were gradually titrated up with oral iloperidone for at least 10 to 14 days to stable doses of 12 to 24 mg daily.

Prior to receiving IM iloperidone, participants were gradually titrated up with oral iloperidone for at least 10 to 14 days to stable doses of 12 to 24 mg daily.
Iloperidone 500 mg microparticle formulation - Phase CEXPERIMENTALParticipants received a microparticle formulation of iloperidone 500 mg in a depot IM injection 2 times 28 days apart. Prior to receiving IM iloperidone, participants were gradually titrated up with oral iloperidone for at least 10 to 14 days to stable doses of 12 to 24 mg daily.
Iloperidone 625 mg microparticle formulation - Phase CEXPERIMENTALParticipants received a microparticle formulation of iloperidone 625 mg in a depot IM injection 2 times 28 days apart. Prior to receiving IM iloperidone, participants were gradually titrated up with oral iloperidone for at least 10 to 14 days to stable doses of 12 to 24 mg daily.

Frequently asked questions about Iloperidone crystalline formulation

What is iloperidone crystalline formulation used for?

Iloperidone crystalline formulation is being developed for the treatment of schizophrenia. It is an investigational long-acting injectable depot formulation of iloperidone, studied in adult patients with schizophrenia. The formulation is designed to provide extended drug release, but it has not been approved by the FDA and remains in clinical development.

What does iloperidone crystalline formulation target?

Iloperidone crystalline formulation targets dopamine D2 receptors (DRD2) and serotonin 5-HT2A receptors (HTR2A). It acts as an antagonist at both receptor types. This dual antagonism is the mechanism thought to underlie its antipsychotic activity in schizophrenia, though the crystalline depot formulation is still under investigation.

Who is developing iloperidone crystalline formulation?

Iloperidone crystalline formulation is being developed by Novartis AG, which trades under the ticker NVS. Novartis is responsible for the clinical development of this long-acting injectable depot formulation for schizophrenia.

What phase is iloperidone crystalline formulation in?

Iloperidone crystalline formulation is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational product and has not been approved by the FDA for any indication. The Phase 1 program has been completed, with no active trials currently listed.

What clinical trials is iloperidone crystalline formulation in?

Iloperidone crystalline formulation has been studied in one completed Phase 1 trial, NCT01348100, titled "Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Iloperidone Depot in Schizophrenic Patients." The trial enrolled 81 adults with schizophrenia in the United States. It was randomized and controlled, but not double-blind.
