    Retrospective data, Review, Journal:  Olanzapine-Samidorphan for Schizophrenia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. (Pubmed Central) -  Mar 25, 2024   
    Drug discontinuation incidence was higher in the OLZSAM group: RR = 1.22; 95% CI = 0.84-1.79; p = 0.30. The combination OLZSAM showed comparable efficacy to olanzapine alone in schizophrenia patients, with relatively less incidence of weight gain and adverse events; however, the drug discontinuation due to adverse events was more in the OLZSAM group.

    An update on cutting-edge evidence on treatment developments in schizophrenia is vital to inform the pediatric prescription practices. The scope of the ongoing studies to bring novel pharmacological evidence to clinical practice will serve to be beneficial for clinicians treating children and adolescents with schizophrenia.

    Olanzapine/Samidorphan Effects on Weight Gain: A Pooled Analysis of Phase 2 and 3 Randomized, Double-Blind Studies (Salon 4) -  Apr 15, 2023 - Abstract #ASCP2023ASCP_212;    
    P2, P3
    Baseline mean (SD) age was 35.2 (10.7), 308 (29%) were female, 440 (41.4%) were White, and mean (SD) body mass index (BMI) was 24.8 (3.3) kg/m2. At week 12, OLZ/SAM treatment was associated with a lower least-square mean (LSM) percent change in body weight from baseline (3.68%) vs olanzapine (5.43%) (LSM [SE] difference=-1.75% [0.41]; 95% CI=-2.55, -0.94).

    Treatment with OLZ/SAM mitigated weight gain vs olanzapine in early-in-illness patients with schizophrenia, schizophreniform disorder, or BD-I. In these exploratory subgroup analyses from the ENLIGHTEN-2 study, weight-mitigating effects of OLZ/SAM vs olanzapine were observed consistently across patient subgroups and were in line with results from the overall study population.

    Compared to oral paliperidone, the LAI may decrease risk of DIMDs while LAI risperidone and aripiprazole have equal risk compared to oral formulations. Furthermore, new experimental drug targets that do not use dopamine receptor blockade show promise in reducing incidence of DIMDs.

    Clinical, Review, Journal:  Olanzapine/Samidorphan: A New Option for the Treatment of Adults With Schizophrenia or Bipolar I Disorder. (Pubmed Central) -  Sep 3, 2022   
    Advantages of this drug combination include once-daily dosing, favorable tolerability, and most importantly, mitigation of weight gain, which may encourage adherence, when compared with OLZ alone. The new combination treatment of OLZ/SAM is a unique antipsychotic formulation to provide the recognized efficacious treatment of OLZ, while mitigating the weight gain and possibly the weight-related adverse effects secondary to OLZ monotherapy.

    Journal:  Olanzapine/Samidorphan: New Drug Approved for Treating Bipolar I Disorder and Schizophrenia. (Pubmed Central) -  Jul 28, 2022   
    When treating complex patients with schizophrenia, the olanzapine/samidorphan combination has limited effect on medication-induced weight gain often associated with antipsychotic olanzapine monotherapy. Additional studies are needed to further define the role of olanzapine/samidorphan in bipolar I disorder and clinical practice.

    The clinical implications of new research on non-pharmacologic somatic treatments including aerobic exercise, transcranial magnetic stimulation, and electroconvulsive therapy will be discussed. Finally, there will be a discussion of new drugs for schizophrenia that are in Phase 3 trials.

    As for the emerging experimental antipsychotic, some of them (including KarXT, SEP-363856, RO6889450, ALKS3831) have demonstrated good antipsychotic efficacy and a favorable safety profile, but little is known about their use in patients with bipolar disorder and specifically designed trials are needed. Lastly, some benefits for the treatment of mania could be expected to come in the next future from non-mood stabilizers/non-antipsychotic agents (especially PKC inhibitors like Endoxifen): long-term trials are needed to confirm positive results in terms of long-term efficacy and safety.

    Review, Journal:  Olanzapine and Samidorphan Combination Treatment: A Systematic Review. (Pubmed Central) -  Mar 8, 2022   
    OLZ/SAM-treatment is associated with mitigated weight-gain liability when compared to OLZ-monotherapy in adults with schizophrenia. Additional studies are needed to ascertain patient acceptability, appropriate selection and sequencing of OLZ/SAM in the treatment algorithms for adults with schizophrenia (and BD-I), as well as to determine cost-effectiveness and long-term metabolic effects.

    Clinical, PK/PD data, Journal:  Population Pharmacokinetics of Olanzapine and Samidorphan When Administered in Combination in Healthy Subjects and Patients With Schizophrenia. (Pubmed Central) -  Feb 17, 2022   
    Consistent with the known metabolic pathways for olanzapine (primarily via uridine 5'-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferase [UGT]-mediated direct glucuronidation and cytochrome P450 [CYP]-mediated oxidation) and for samidorphan (predominately mediated by CYP3A4), coadministration of OLZ/SAM with rifampin, a strong inducer of CYP3A4 and an inducer of UGT enzymes, significantly decreased the systemic exposure of both olanzapine and samidorphan. Severe renal impairment or moderate hepatic impairment resulted in modest increase in olanzapine and samidorphan exposure.
