The contribution of long-acting injectables (LAI) is undeniable in this matter, but there are still some unmet medical needs not covered by these drugs (e.g. quick onset of action for patients with acute exacerbation of schizophrenia). This article summarises the pharmacokinetics, efficacy and safety of Risperidone ISM (<i>in situ</i> microparticles). The aim of this review is to provide information about the potential uses of this new LAI formulation of risperidone for the treatment of schizophrenia, contextualising and diving into the published evidence. Risperidone ISM shows a rapid release which allows achieving within 12 h risperidone active moiety levels similar to those observed in the steady-state for oral risperidone treatment, achieving a mean average concentration of 38.63 ng/mL. The plasma concentration of active moiety achieved by Risperidone ISM comes with a predictable dopamine D2 receptor occupancy above 65% throughout the 28-day dosing period, which is accepted as a threshold for the efficacy of the antipsychotic treatment. This can be associated with the positive efficacy findings throughout its clinical development. In the short term, it provides an early and progressive reduction of symptoms in adult patients with acute exacerbation of schizophrenia without the need for loading doses or oral risperidone supplementation, which could contribute to reinforcing the therapeutic alliance between the patient and the psychiatrist. In addition, long-term treatment was effective, safe and well tolerated regardless of the initial disease severity or whether patients were previously treated with Risperidone ISM during an acute exacerbation or switched from stable doses of oral risperidone. Improvement and maintenance of personal and social functioning and health-related quality of life were observed in each setting, respectively. All these findings endorse Risperidone ISM as a useful and valuable treatment for the acute and maintenance management of patients with schizophrenia.</p>","PeriodicalId":23127,"journal":{"name":"Therapeutic Advances in Psychopharmacology","volume":"14 ","pages":"20451253241280046"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11483852/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142475495","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is presently limited guidance on tapering decanoate-based long-acting injectable dopamine antagonists (LIDAs).Objectives:We aimed to apply hyperbolic principles of tapering to the decanoate-based LIDAs flupentixol, zuclopenthixol and haloperidol to develop withdrawal regimens.Design:We used in silico methodology to predict plasma drug levels and D<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> occupancy for different LIDA regimens.Methods:Existing pharmacokinetic and receptor occupancy data from nuclear neuroimaging studies were used to power modelling. Abrupt discontinuation was examined as a potential strategy, and dose reduction was modelled with pre-defined constraints used in similar work of 10 (fast regimens), 5 (moderate) and 2.5 (slow) percentage points of D<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> occupancy change per month.Results:Abrupt discontinuation of decanoate-based LIDAs leads to excessive change in D<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> occupancy which violated our pre-defined constraints, potentially resulting in withdrawal symptoms and increased risk of relapse. Reduction of LIDA dose allowed hyperbolic reduction in plasma level consistent with imposed constraints on receptor occupancy reduction rate. For equivalent per-weekly LIDA dosing, more frequent administration allowed a more gradual reduction of D<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> occupancy. However, switching to oral forms is required to continue hyperbolic tapering to full discontinuation; reduction to zero using only LIDA produces too large a reduction in D<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> occupancy. Guidance for reduction and cessation of LIDAs according to slow, moderate and fast criteria is provided.Conclusion:Abrupt cessation of decanoate LIDAs is not consistent with gradual hyperbolic tapering, despite their longer half-lives compared with oral formulations. Reduction to the point of full discontinuation can only be achieved by switching to oral therapy to complete the taper. These results are limited by the in silico and theoretical nature of the study, and there is a need to confirm these findings through real-world observational and interventional studies.","PeriodicalId":23127,"journal":{"name":"Therapeutic Advances in Psychopharmacology","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142262388","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Psilocybin is one of the most widely studied classic psychedelics which has shown good safety and clinical benefit for major depression and substance use disorders.

The efficacy and tolerability of APs differ significantly between men and women, and some of these differences are more noticeable depending on the patient’s age and the stage of the disorder. Although sex differences may influence treatment outcomes in SZ, their pertinence has been insufficiently addressed, especially regarding the use of LAI-APs. Some biological and social experiences, such as pregnancy, lactation, contraception and menopause, are specific to women, but these remain under-researched issues. Implications of this disorder in parenting are also of special pertinence regarding women; therefore, taking sex differences into account when treating SZ patients is now recommended, and improving personalized approaches has been proposed as a priority in the management of psychosis.

We report on three patients, one with short bowel syndrome, one with viral gastritis, and one with aortic dissection who were trialed on SL asenapine for agitation after failing alternative antipsychotics. Two of these patients had an extensive history of psychiatric admissions for bipolar disorder and substance-induced psychosis. All three patients had significant reductions in agitation within 1–5 days, with no reported adverse effects. However, benefit of SL asenapine was hindered in two of these patients as they began inappropriately swallowing the medication, reducing bioavailability to nil. Clinicians should consider the use of SL asenapine for medically complex agitated patients where gastric absorption is questionable.
