Clinical benefits and impact of early use of long‐acting injectable antipsychotics for schizophrenia

Abstract: AimResults from clinical trials support the use of oral antipsychotics for treatment of early or first‐episode psychosis in patients with schizophrenia. This paper will review literature on the advantages of early initiation of treatment for schizophrenia and the clinical benefits of early use of long‐acting injectable antipsychotics (LAIs).MethodA comprehensive literature review was conducted to identify published literature on the use of LAIs early in the treatment of schizophrenia.ResultsAlthough there is a… Show more

“…Taken together, these results support the potential value of early intervention with PP1M and are consistent with previous reports (Heres et al, 2014; Kane et al, 2015; Llorca et al, 2013; Subotnik et al, 2015) that patients early in their psychiatric illness are often more responsive to treatment. Furthermore, they add to the growing body of evidence on the effects of PP1M in recently diagnosed schizophrenia patients (Bossie et al, 2011; Fu et al, 2014; Sliwa et al, 2012; Stevens et al, 2016; Zhang et al, 2015), including prospective parallel-group comparisons showing benefits with PP1M compared with daily oral antipsychotic treatment (Alphs et al, 2015; Schreiner et al, 2015). In these patients, the tolerability of PP1M's initiation dosing was similar to oral risperidone (Gopal et al, 2011).…”

“…Our data are consistent with an early introduction of LAIs after psychoses onset, be it schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder, but the same could be apply in the future for bipolar disorder, as ARI was found to delay time to relapse more than placebo (Calabrese et al, ). Since the first solicitations for using LAIs early in the course of schizophrenia (Stip, Abdel‐Baki, Bloom, Grignon, & Roy, ; Zhornitsky & Stip, ), the appropriateness of starting young patients earlier on LAIs is increasingly advanced (Brugnoli et al, ; Karson, Duffy, Eramo, Nylander, & Offord, ; Lytle, McVoy, & Sajatovic, ; Manchanda et al, ; Stevens, Dawson, & Zummo, ).…”

“…Our results also suggest that these gains can be augmented by improving adherence to antipsychotic drugs during the early stage of the illness. While not widely available, evidence-based interventions to accelerate treatment entry and improve antipsychotic adherence do exist-these include early intervention services such as CSC, and proadherence interventions such as LAI antipsychotics (Mihalopoulos et al 2009;Stevens et al 2016).…”
