Paliperidone palmitate (Invega Trinza)

Marketed by Johnson & Johnson

Approved in Schizophreniasmall molecule (palmitate ester prodrug, long-acting injectable suspension)
Weak signal

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.

Quetiapine (Seroquel XR)

Marketed by Cheplapharm Arzneimittel GmbH and partners

Approved in Schizophreniasmall molecule
Weak signal

NCT00640601 · Phase 3 · completed

This was a nonrandomized, single-group, open-label study of 295 treated participants, without a placebo or active comparator. Although 56.88% were reported to have improved clinical benefit on the primary CGI-CB measure, the uncontrolled design cannot determine how much of the improvement was due to quetiapine rather than other factors.
