A Phase-1 Study Comparing Pharmacokinetic and Safety Profiles of Three Different Dose Intervals of Aripiprazole Lauroxil

AL allows for a range of dose/dose-interval combinations. The PK results from this study show that a dosing interval of every 8 weeks for the 1064 mg dose resulted in aripiprazole concentrations within the established therapeutic window for AL. There was no safety signal directing any particular concern to any of the three doses/dose intervals studied. All patients continued their primary antipsychotics without any apparent tolerability issue arising from the addition of the AL injections. The results of this study show that 1064 mg AL may be suitable for a 2-month dose interval. The three doses/dose intervals studied have the potential to help clinicians and patients expand their choice of AL treatment to best meet the needs of the individual patient.
