Lurasidone vs Paliperidone palmitate (Invega Trinza)
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.

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).
Paliperidone palmitate (Invega Trinza)
Marketed by Johnson & Johnson
NCT02713282 · Phase 3 · completed
This was a single-group, open-label study without randomization or a comparator arm, so it could not directly compare the 3-month formulation with placebo or another treatment. Registry results were not posted at the time of grading; the key result shown was recovered from the cited external source.
