This study evaluated the local tolerability of TV-46000, a long-acting injectable formulation of risperidone, in adults with schizophrenia. Data from two phase 3 trials and one phase 1 study indicated that injection site reactions (ISRs) occurred in 19% of patients receiving TV-46000, with a notable decrease in ISR frequency after the first injection. The study design was a randomized controlled trial.

Key findings

  • Injection site reactions occurred in 19% of patients receiving TV-46000.
  • The exposure-adjusted event rate for ISRs was 48.67 per 100 patient-years.
  • Most ISRs were mild or moderate, leading to only 1.7% treatment discontinuations.
  • Mean injection site pain scores decreased significantly within 1 hour post-injection.

Why it matters

Understanding the tolerability of long-acting injectable antipsychotics is crucial for improving patient adherence and reducing relapse rates in schizophrenia. This study highlights the manageable nature of ISRs associated with TV-46000.
