Fanapt™ (iloperidone)
Fanapt belongs to a class of medications for schizophrenia known as atypical antipsychotics. The term "atypical" refers to the different mechanisms of action of second-generation antipsychotics.
The FDA approval of Fanapt was supported by two placebo- and active-controlled short-term (4- and 6-week) trials and safety data derived from more than 2,000 patients. Both trials enrolled patients who met the DSM-III/IV criteria for schizophrenia. Fanapt was shown to be superior to placebo in controlling symptoms of schizophrenia across doses of 12 mg to 24 mg per day -- which is the recommended daily target dose range. Titration to the target dose of 12 mg per day can be achieved in 4 days.
