The trial involves 56 participants and will monitor side effects, vital signs, and lab tests for up to 90 days after the injection.

Active substance

brexpiprazole long-acting injection

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a longer-acting treatment option for schizophrenia, potentially reducing the need for daily pills.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase 1 trial with only 56 participants, focused on safety and dosing. It is too small and early to know if the injection will effectively control schizophrenia symptoms or have significant side effects.
