We aimed to compare the bioavailability of a long-acting oral weekly formulation of risperidone, LYN-005, with daily oral risperidone at steady state.<h3>Methods</h3>In this open-label, non-randomised, phase 3 trial, clinically stable participants with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder were enrolled from five sites across the USA while residing in an inpatient facility for 5 weeks (with the exception of days 9–13). After a 7-day run-in period with immediate-release risperidone (2 mg or 6 mg), participants received five doses of long-acting oral weekly LYN-005 (15 mg or 45 mg, respectively), with a supplemental half dose of daily immediate-release risperidone during week 1. Primary endpoints compared pharmacokinetic parameters of LYN-005 (minimum concentration [C<sub>min</sub>] at weeks 1 and 5, and maximum concentration [C<sub>max</sub>] and average concentration [C<sub>avg</sub>] at week 5) with those of immediate-release risperidone on the last day of the run-in period. Prespecified primary endpoint criteria were geometric mean ratios for C<sub>min</sub> at week 1 and week 5 (90% CI ≥0·8), C<sub>max</sub> at week 5 (90% CI ≤1·25), and C<sub>avg</sub> at week 5 (0·8 ≤90% CI ≤1·4).

In the pharmacokinetic analysis (n=44), sustained release of the active moiety was observed across all doses of LYN-005. Geometric mean ratios of LYN-005 versus immediate-release risperidone were 1·02 (90% CI 0·93–1·12) for C<sub>min</sub> at week 1, and 1·04 (90% CI 0·87–1·23), 0·84 (0·77–0·92), and 1·03 (0·93–1·13) for C<sub>min</sub>, C<sub>max</sub>, and C<sub>avg</sub>, respectively, at week 5 and met predetermined criteria. In individuals taking LYN-005 (n=67), gastrointestinal treatment-emergent adverse events were most common (44 [66%] participants), with one serious treatment-emergent adverse event reported.<h3>Interpretation</h3>Weekly LYN-005 provided sustained release of risperidone at therapeutic concentrations with similar bioavailability to immediate-release risperidone.

Estimating the magnitude of these excess costs would support better integrated mental and physical health care. The aim of this study was to estimate the excess annual hospital costs of non-mental health related inpatient and emergency care utilisation for four mental disorders in 32 European countries.<h3>Methods</h3>In this modelling study, we obtained data on the working-age population (aged 20–64 years) of 32 European countries from the European Statistical Agency, the 2019 Global Burden of Disease, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study, epidemiological and cost evidence syntheses, and listed country-specific estimates. We estimated the non-mental health inpatient costs and emergency care hospital costs associated with the excess physical health burden of alcohol use disorders, bipolar disorder, depressive disorders, and schizophrenia in purchasing power standard Euros (PPS€) for 2019. Total physical comorbidity hospital costs were calculated by summing attributable non-mental health inpatient and emergency hospital costs across all physical health diagnoses by ICD-10 category for each mental disorder in all countries. Excess costs represent the proportion of total costs that were attributable to the excess physical health burden. People with lived experiences informed the original project plans.<h3>Findings</h3>In 2019, there were 312·5 million people of working age across 32 European countries. Total annual non-mental health inpatient and emergency care hospital costs were PPS€20·3 billion for alcohol use disorders, PPS€6·7 billion for bipolar disorder, PPS€26·5 billion for depressive disorders, and PPS€1·8 billion for schizophrenia, with considerable variation observed among countries. The proportion of excess costs were 59·4% (PPS€12·1 billion) for alcohol use disorder, 56·7% (PPS€3·8 billion) for bipolar disorder, 52·7% (PPS€14·0 billion) for depressive disorders, and 35·6% (PPS€0·7 billion) for schizophrenia.<h3>Interpretation</h3>These first comprehensive European estimates indicate that non-mental health inpatient and emergency care hospital costs contributed substantially to the total costs associated with four mental disorders. The excess costs equated to 1·8% of the included countries’ overall health-care expenditure and 0·16% of their gross domestic products. Estimates are conservative because they are limited to diagnosed mental disorders prevalent among working-age adults. A 1·0% reduction in the excess physical health burden of these mental disorders could lead to annual savings of more than PPS€190 million in non-mental health hospital costs in Europe.<h3>Funding</h3>European College of Neuropsychopharmacology.","PeriodicalId":48784,"journal":{"name":"Lancet Psychiatry","volume":"65 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":64.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144260498","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bipolar disorder is increasingly conceptualised as a chronic, potentially progressive condition worsened and accelerated by each mood episode, which might resemble multiple sclerosis or rheumatoid arthritis as a condition that requires disease-modifying treatments to change illness trajectory. In this Personal View, we argue that lithium acts like a disease-modifying drug in bipolar disorder. Although the pathophysiology of bipolar disorder remains unclear, many of the mechanisms implicated in bipolar disorder, and the surrogate markers associated with this condition, are uniquely affected by lithium treatment from the DNA and cellular levels to the structure and function of the brain and other body systems. Clinical trial and cohort study evidence shows that lithium is effective and probably superior to other medications used to treat bipolar disorder, and that long-term outcomes are better with lithium than non-lithium regimens. Conceptualisation of lithium as a disease-modifying agent might help to increase clinical use by doctors, especially early in the disease course to better serve our patients.","PeriodicalId":48784,"journal":{"name":"Lancet Psychiatry","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":64.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144252611","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the concept was borrowed by Leo Kanner and Hans Asperger to describe another condition (infantile autism) and eventually awareness of autistic features in schizophrenia declined. Today, autistic features are by default considered indicative of autism spectrum disorder, and patients with schizophrenia, who exhibit autistic features, risk being misdiagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and receiving inadequate treatment. To aid differential diagnosis and treatment, it is important to rediscover what autism in schizophrenia is, and how it differs from autism spectrum disorder. We present a reading of the seminal works that shaped the understanding of autism in schizophrenia and extract four key insights: autistic features are common in schizophrenia; autistic features are found both in behaviours and experiences; autism in schizophrenia can be defined as a frail immersion in the lifeworld, manifesting as a pervasive inability to take for granted what others consider matter of fact; and autism is hypothesised to be caused by self-disorder. Contemporary psychopathological research corroborates the idea that autism is caused by self-disorder, a concept that could substantially aid differential diagnostic resources.","PeriodicalId":48784,"journal":{"name":"Lancet Psychiatry","volume":"100 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":64.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144211306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
