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.
Risperidone (Rykindo)
Marketed by Luye Pharma Group
NCT02055287 · Phase 1 · completed
A non-randomized, open-label, four-dose pharmacokinetic study of Rykindo in 36 participants. With no randomization, no blinding, no comparator arm, and no results posted to the registry, this is weak evidence.
Next expected readout: December 2027 · NCT07047651 (registry estimate)
