Highlights

  • LYN-005, a novel long-acting oral risperidone, achieved pharmacokinetic equivalence to daily immediate-release risperidone at steady-state.
  • Sustained therapeutic plasma concentrations were observed with weekly dosing, supporting its potential to mitigate adherence challenges in schizophrenia.
  • Safety profile was consistent with established risperidone use, with gastrointestinal adverse events most common and no unexpected safety signals.
  • The weekly oral formulation may address a critical gap for patients preferring oral therapy but struggling with daily adherence.
