Head-to-head evidence
Clozapine vs Lurasidone
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.
Schizophrenia
Shared mechanism: Dopamine D2 and serotonin 5-HT2A receptors (antagonist) · full Schizophrenia pipeline
Clozapine
Marketed by HLS Therapeutics Inc.
NCT00250575 · Phase 3 · completed
The study was open-label, single-arm, and had no placebo or active comparator; all 43 participants received clozapine. Its primary measures focused on hematological tests, blood-related adverse events, and monitoring-system compliance rather than a clinical symptom endpoint, and no results are posted.
Next expected readout: April 2027 · NCT04580134 (registry estimate)
Lurasidone
Marketed by Sumitomo Pharma
NCT00549718 · Phase 3 · completed
The study randomized approximately 500 participants to lurasidone 40, 80, or 120 mg or placebo and used quadruple masking of participants, clinicians, investigators, and outcome assessors. Its clinical primary endpoint, change in total PANSS score over 6 weeks, favored lurasidone overall versus placebo and was statistically significant (p<0.05).
