Asenapine vs Iloperidone (PD psychosis use)
Same mechanism, same race: design-graded trial evidence for both assets, with the grading rationale shown. Grades describe the quality of the evidence, never the merits of either security.

Asenapine
Marketed by AbbVie and partners
NCT00212784 · Phase 3 · completed
This 52-week trial randomly assigned 1,225 people with schizophrenia to asenapine or to olanzapine, with participants, carers, investigators and outcome assessors all unaware of assignment. The primary measure was change in total PANSS symptom score. Asenapine improved symptoms by 21.0 points against 27.5 points for olanzapine, a difference favouring olanzapine at p<0.0001, so asenapine was less effective than its active comparator on this measure.

Iloperidone (PD psychosis use) · Fanapt

NCT00254202 · Phase 3 · completed
The trial was randomized and quadruple-blind, included both placebo and active control groups, and enrolled 593 participants. Its primary clinical symptom endpoint was PANSS-T change, with mean changes of -12.0 for iloperidone versus -7.1 for placebo, but statistical significance of the comparison is not reported, so the result remains unclear.
Next expected readout: November 2027 · NCT06961968 (registry estimate)
