Wow! Cool, but it can be 2030 before it appears in my country.
This is amazing. So this drug isnt just adjunct therapy but its own new class of antipsychotics?
Well, yes. If it works out, it means that there is a whole new class of drugs that could replace the existing class.
According to what my psychiatrist told me, a drug takes between 2 and 5 years to reach another country. The time depends on the market demand, geographic location, etc.
Exactly! It is used as monotherapy, it is not complemented. And it has a different mechanism of action than current antipsychotics.
“We’re really excited about ulotaront’s novel mechanism,” Psychogenics CEO Emer Leahy said [in an earlier interview]“It probably could be the first new mechanism of action for schizophrenia in about 65 years.”
