Highlights
In order to thrive in the schizophrenia environment, new therapies must be sufficiently differentiated from existing antipsychotics. Datamonitor believes developers of undifferentiated oral products will struggle to compete in this mature market because but will find position as second or later line of therapy for treatment refractory patients
Developing depot formulations is a key successful life-cycle management strategy in the schizophrenia market in order to protect franchises from generic erosion. Recent launches of monthly depots Zyprexa Relprevv and Invega Sustenna have helped Eli Lilly and Johnson & Johnson strengthen their position in this market.
