Dainippon Sumitomo Pharma Announces Lurasidone Phase III Data in Patients With Schizophrenia
Date:5/20/2009

regarded as "failed," or inconclusive, as haloperidol (10 mg/day), which was included for purposes of assay sensitivity, also failed to distinguish from placebo.

These data showed that lurasidone was well tolerated with a low propensity for EPS, QTc interval changes and weight, lipid and glucose adverse effects. Adverse events seen in the three trials were generally mild. The most common adverse events reported at a frequency of at least 5% and at least twice the rate of placebo among the combined lurasidone doses in these trials were akathisia (11.6% vs. 4.7% placebo), somnolence (14.3% vs. 7.1%) and nausea (14.8% vs. 6.1%).

About Lurasidone

Discovered and developed by Dainippon Sumitomo Pharma Co., Ltd., lurasidone is a novel compound with a unique receptor-binding profile including high affinity for dopamine D(2), serotonin 5-HT(2A), 5-HT(7), 5-HT(1A), and noradrenalin alpha(2c) receptors. Lurasidone has low affinity for histamine H(1), and cholinergic M(1) receptors.

About Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a chronic, disabling and serious medical illness that affects between two to three million American adults and more than 24 million adults worldwide. Schizophrenia affects men and women equally and occurs at similar rates in all ethnic groups around the world. Schizophrenia is a treatable medical condition and is thought to be caused by a combination of environmental and genetic factors. The condition is characterized by positive and negative symptoms, such as hallucinations, delusions, disorganized thinking, lack of emotion, lack of energy, as well as cognitive impairments including problems with memory, attention and the ability to plan, organize and make decisions. In 2002, the overall cost of schizophrenia in the United States was estimated to be $62.7 billion, with $22.7 billion in direct health care costs.
