Head-to-head evidence
Paliperidone (Invega) 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.

Paliperidone (Invega)
Marketed by Johnson & Johnson
NCT00077714 · Phase 3 · completed
The study was randomized and double-blind, but it enrolled only 12 participants and the registry does not clearly identify a comparator arm. Its primary endpoint was a clinical symptom measure (PANSS), but whether it was met cannot be determined because results are not posted.
Next expected readout: September 2027 · NCT04478838 (registry estimate)
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.
