NCT ID NCT07268430

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tested whether a new paliperidone palmitate injection works the same as the standard one in 256 Chinese patients with schizophrenia. Patients received either the new or the standard injection, and researchers measured drug levels in the blood to see if they matched. The goal was to show the new version is equivalent, which could lead to more treatment options.
