Lurasidone Phase 2: Efficacy

JP P2 Studies:

  • Lurasidone was effective in patients with schizophrenia at the daily

dose range from 20 mg to 80 mg. US P2 Studies:

  • PET study showed that lurasidone should be effective in the dose

range from 40 mg to 80mg.

  • Lurasidone was effective in the dose range of 40 mg to 120mg in the

P2 studies.

  • PANSS total score was improved significantly on and after Day 3 in 80

mg dose group. JP P2b Study:

  • PANSS total score was improved significantly in 40 mg and 80 mg

dose groups. However, dose dependency was not demonstrated.

  • The percentage of patients with moderate to marked improvements of

GIR score increased dose-dependently in the dose rage from 20 mg to 80 mg. Comparative Tolerability Study with Ziprasidone:

  • Lurasidone demonstrated the comparative efficacy with ziprasidone

(approved drug).

slide-46
SLIDE 46

Lurasidone Phase 2: Safety

US QTc Study: QTc interval prolongation of more than 5 msec, a threshold suggested in the guideline, was observed both at the highest daily clinical dose (120mg) and the 5 fold dose (600mg).

  • There were no patients with QTc interval prolongation of >60msec or

QTc of >500msec. US Comparative Tolerability Study with Ziprasidone:

  • It was confirmed that the akathisia score in 120 mg of lurasidone was

lower than ziprasidone dose group at all assessed points. JP and US Phase 2 Studies: Abnormal involuntary movement score was significantly decreased by dosing lurasidone. It was suggested that lurasidone causes minimal EPS.

  • Lurasidone was generally safe and well tolerated without any

significant abnormalities in metabolic parameters including blood sugar and lipid levels.

Summary of Phase 3 in North America

No significant differences in summed SNCV were

  • bserved between ranirestat group and placebo group.

This unclear study result may be attributed to the changes in placebo group which were much higher than expected. Ranirestat showed somewhat improvement in MNCV and F-wave latencies. No significant differences in mTCNS, a critical clinical parameter, between ranirestat group and placebo group were observed. This unclear study result may be attributed to the unexpected high improvement in the placebo group. Ranirestat was generally safe and well tolerated without any significant abnormalities

Summary of P2b Monotherapy Study

HbA1c was decreased dose-dependently in 14-week administration of 750 mg/day of SMP-862, 1500 mg/day of AMP-862 and placebo. HbA1c was significantly decreased in the group of 1500 mg/day compared to 750 mg/day, currently approved as daily dose for metformin chloride. No change in lactic acid level an no other significant findings in safety

P2b monotherapy clinical study: Conclusions

Repaglinide at dose levels of 0.75, 1.5 and 3 mg/day showed significant reduction in PPG-AUC and HbA1C in comparison with placebo. The optimal dose level of repaglinide to control blood glucose level was 1.5 mg/day. Repaglinide was generally safe and well tolerated without any significant abnormalities
