Approved in Schizophreniasmall molecule
Partial signal

NCT00305422 · Phase 3 · completed

The study was randomized and double-blinded with an active risperidone comparator, but its small sample of 45 participants limits the strength of the evidence. The primary comparison was not reported, and the primary focus included cognitive and functional brain-activation measures rather than a clearly specified hard clinical endpoint.

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.

Next expected readout: February 2032 · NCT07152184 (registry estimate)
