Otsuka and Lundbeck Receive the US FDA’s Approval for Rexulti (brexpiprazole) sNDA to Treat Agitation Associated with Dementia Due to Alzheimer’s Disease

Shots:

  • The US FDA has approved the sNDA of Rexulti for agitation associated with dementia due to AD. The sNDA was based on 2 P-III 12wk. fixed-dose studies (Study 331-12-283) and (Study 331-14-213) evaluating brexpiprazole vs PBO
  • The results from both studies showed a 31% greater reduction from baseline in the frequency of agitation symptoms, was well-tolerated with a low incidence of discontinuations. The safety profile was consistent with the known safety profile of brexpiprazole in other indications
  • Brexpiprazole was approved in the US for MDD and schizophrenia in adults & in Health Canada for the same indication while in Japan and EU for the treatment of schizophrenia
