Teva and Medincell Announce Positive Phase 3 Efficacy Results from SOLARIS Trial Evaluating TEV-‘749 (olanzapine) as a Once-Monthly Subcutaneous Long-Acting Injectable in Adults with Schizophrenia
- The study met its primary endpoint achieving clinically meaningful and statistically significant reductions across all TEV-‘749 dose groups versus placebo in the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score, a widely used assessment tool for schizophrenia symptom severity
- TEV-‘749 was well tolerated, with no incidence of post-injection delirium/sedation syndrome (PDSS) observed to date: additional safety data is being collected as part of the long-term follow-up SOLARIS study
-
TEV-‘749 is being developed by Teva as a once-monthly subcutaneous long-acting injection of olanzapine with the use of SteadyTeq™ technology, a copolymer technology proprietary to
Medincell
TEV-‘749 met its primary endpoint across all three dosing groups, with mean difference in change in the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score from baseline to week 8 of -9.71 points, -11.27 points, and -9.71 points versus placebo for the high, medium, and low dose groups, respectively. These differences from placebo were clinically meaningful and statistically significant with adjusted P-values of <0.001 for each comparison. Key secondary endpoints of CGI-S (Clinical Global Impressions – schizophrenia) and PSP (Personal and Social Performance Scale) total score were also statistically significant after adjusting for multiplicity. No cases of PDSS have been reported to date, after administration of approximately 80% of the target injection number.
An estimated 3.5 million people are currently diagnosed with schizophrenia in the
“These encouraging results from the efficacy portion of our Phase 3 SOLARIS trial demonstrate the potential of TEV-‘749 to be an effective long-acting treatment option for schizophrenia and further show our dedication to advancing innovative science in mental health and beyond,” said
