MONTPELLIER, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--New data presented by Teva at ECNP 2024* demonstrate switching to UZEDY at four weeks after the last dose of once-monthly Perseris® (RBP-7000) provided the most comparable pharmacokinetic (PK) profile based on relevant simulations, with comparable doses identified.
Perseris manufacturer announced in July 2024 the discontinuation of its commercialization.
Teva already presented in June 2024 data informing clinical strategies for switching patients to UZEDY from a once-monthly intramuscular injection of Invega Sustenna® (paliperidone palmitate)**.
Richard Malamut, Chief Medical Officer of Medincell said: “We are delighted to see that our partner is fully committed to supporting healthcare providers in implementing effective switching strategies to UZEDY, which offers several key differentiating features compared to other risperidone or paliperidone palmitate formulations: no loading doses or oral supplementation at initiation, flexible dosing intervals of either one or two months, subcutaneous administration, ready-to-use prefilled syringe.”
About additional results from the Advance study on the utilization of long-acting injectable antipsychotics, which were also reported by Teva at ECNP 2024, Richard Malamut said: “It is encouraging to see that most of the factors raised by patients with Schizophrenia, their caregivers, and healthcare providers regarding use of a long-acting injectable antipsychotic can be effectively addressed with UZEDY.”
