Similarly designed, published studies of other AAPs were used for comparison. Time to drug-placebo relapse separation and relapse rates were estimated from Kaplan–Meier curves and evaluated descriptively. Separation was defined as a sustained difference of ≥5% incidence of relapse between the AAP and placebo curves.Results: The Kaplan–Meier curve for cariprazine showed a time to drug-placebo relapse separation at 6–7 weeks after randomization, compared to the Kaplan–Meier curves for the other AAPs, which showed earlier separation at 1–4 weeks. The placebo relapse rates at 4 weeks after randomization were 5% for cariprazine and 8–34% for other AAPs. Geometric mean values of model-predicted plasma concentrations for total active cariprazine moieties (sum of cariprazine, desmethyl-cariprazine, and didesmethyl-cariprazine) were 20.0 and 6.1 nM at 2 and 4 weeks after discontinuation, respectively. Elimination half-lives of other AAPs and their active metabolites (<4 days) suggest that plasma concentrations would be low or negligible at 2–4 weeks after last dose.Conclusion: Discontinuation of cariprazine treatment appeared to be associated with a delayed incidence of relapse compared with other AAPs, which may be due to the longer half-life of cariprazine and its active metabolites.Keywords: cariprazine, schizophrenia, half-life, occupancyCorrell CUJain RMeyer JMPericlou ACarrothers TBarabássy ÁPatel MEarley WDove Medical Pressarticlecariprazineschizophreniahalf-lifeoccupancyNeurosciences.
