The schizophrenia market is highly crowded given the presence of numerous antipsychotic therapies including the continued genericization of key oral therapies, the availability of newer oral atypical antipsychotics (e.g., Otsuka/Lundbeck’s Rexulti and Allergan/Gedeon Richter/Recordati’s Vraylar/Reagila), and the intensifying competition among long-acting injectables (LAIs). Indeed, to gain a foothold in the market, differentiation from already established therapies is a primary requirement for the late-phase and recently approved therapies—including new atypical antipsychotics (e.g., Alkermes’s ALKS-3831), new LAIs (e.g., Indivior’s Perseris, Janssen’s paliperidone six-month depot), and others (Intra-Cellular Therapies’ lumateperone, Minerva Neurosciences’ roluperidone, and Acadia Pharmaceuticals’ pimavanserin). Meanwhile, the potential of early- to mid-phase therapies for negative symptoms and cognitive impairment associated with schizophrenia, which are symptoms on which drug developers are increasingly focusing, remains to be seen.
