The decision of when to transition to PP3M is based on the patient’s symptom status while receiving PP1M.Patients and Methods: In a double-blind relapse–prevention study (NCT01529515), patients who met Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) score stabilization criteria after 4 months of PP1M were eligible for transition to PP3M; those who continued to meet stabilization criteria after 12 weeks following an open-label PP3M dose were randomized to receive PP3M or placebo. We compared (post hoc) PANSS, Clinical Global Impression–Severity (CGI-S), and Personal and Social Performance (PSP) scores during the pre-randomization, open-label phase in patients in randomized versus non-randomized groups using analysis of variance or chi-square tests.Results: Of 506 patients enrolled, 305 were randomized. After 4 months’ PP1M treatment, PANSS and CGI-S scores were significantly lower and PSP scores significantly higher in randomized patients versus non-randomized patients (least squares means [95% CI]: 57.1 [55.7, 58.6] vs 62.2 [60.0, 64.3], 2.9 [2.8, 3.1] vs 3.3 [3.1, 3.4], and 67.0 [65.7, 68.3] vs 64.5 [62.6, 66.4], respectively); changes from baseline between groups differed significantly (all P ≤ 0.009).Conclusion: Confirming adequate stabilization with PP1M prior to transitioning to PP3M is critical in maximizing treatment response; clinicians should consider transitioning patients to PP3M only if patients respond well to PP1M for at least 4 months and their last two consecutive doses are the same.Keywords: treatment outcome, administration and dosage, neuropsychiatric symptoms, psychosocial functioning, stabilization, long-acting injectable antipsychoticO'Donnell ARao STurkoz IGopal SKim EDove Medical Pressarticletreatment outcomeadministration and dosageneuropsychiatric symptomspsychosocial functioningstabilizationlong-acting injectable antipsychoticNeurosciences.
