Quetiapine (Seroquel XR) vs Risperidone (QUAR)
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.

Quetiapine (Seroquel XR)
Marketed by Cheplapharm Arzneimittel GmbH and partners
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)
Risperidone (QUAR)
Developed by Laboratorios Farmacéuticos Rovi, S.A.
NCT06276361 · Phase 1 · completed
A sequential, open-label pharmacokinetic study of quarterly-injection risperidone in 58 participants, with pharmacokinetic parameters as the primary measures. The design is uncontrolled for treatment effect and no results have been posted to the registry, so this is weak evidence.
Next expected readout: December 2027 · NCT07047651 (registry estimate)
