MONTPELLIER, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Teva presented at ECNP 2024* new positive efficacy, safety, and tolerability results for Phase 3 SOLARIS trial evaluating Olanzapine LAI (TV-‘749 / mdc-TJK) in adult patients diagnosed with schizophrenia.
Richard Malamut, Chief Medical Officer of Medincell, said: “In addition to publishing the positive efficacy results for the primary and secondary endpoints of the SOLARIS study, the data presented by Teva unveiled the three doses evaluated, which align with the three doses of oral olanzapine currently available for the treatment of patients with schizophrenia. This alignment is very important as it should simplify the work for physicians when switching their patients from oral olanzapine to our LAI formulation. All three doses demonstrate systemic safety profile consistent with other approved olanzapine formulations, with no new safety signals identified. Most notably, no PDSS has been observed to date. This is crucial because the risk of PDSS, along with the associated post-injection monitoring requirement, has been a major barrier to the use of the approved intramuscular olanzapine LAI.”
