Milsaperidone (VHX-896)

Marketed by Vanda Pharmaceuticals

Approved in Schizophreniasmall molecule
Weak signal

NCT06494397 · Phase 1 · completed

Every participant in this trial received both VHX-896 and iloperidone, just in a different order, so there is no separate group that shows what happens without VHX-896, and nobody was blinded to which drug was being given at each stage. The trial measured drug levels in the blood to compare the two products, not any change in psychiatric symptoms, and results have not been posted yet.
