The schizophrenia therapy market is crowded and dominated by atypical and typical antipsychotics. Although the continued generic erosion of oral atypical antipsychotics influences psychiatrists’ treatment decisions (e.g., the recent availability of generic lurasidone in the United States), newer oral atypical antipsychotics (e.g., Alkermes’s Lybalvi, Intra-Cellular Therapies’ Caplyta), along with drugs such as BioXcel Therapeutics’ Igalmi, are aiming to make inroads into the treatment pathway. Competition between long-acting injectables (LAIs) is also intensifying with the availability of new therapies (e.g., Janssen’s Invega Hafyera, Lundbeck / Otsuka’s Abilify Asimtufii, Teva’s Uzedy), along with the generic availability of some key LAIs. Nevertheless, novel drugs targeting key unmet needs will be welcomed (e.g., Boehringer Ingelheim’s iclepertin for cognitive impairment in schizophrenia, Acadia’s Nuplazid for the negative symptoms of schizophrenia), but other therapies in late-phase development (e.g., Karuna’s KarXT, Newron Pharmaceuticals’ evenamide) will have to clearly differentiate themselves from established therapies to gain a strong foothold in this market. As such, a deep understanding of the current and future dynamics in the schizophrenia therapy market is critical.
