Summary

This multicenter, randomized, open-label, parallel-group, multiple-dose study is designed to evaluate the bioequivalence, at pharmacokinetic steady state, of a paliperidone palmitate injection manufactured by CSPC Zhongnuo Pharmaceutical (Shijiazhuang) Co., Ltd. (Test Group) and a paliperidone palmitate injection manufactured by Janssen Pharmaceutica N.V. (Reference Group) in patients with schizophrenia in China. Bioequivalence will be assessed based on steady-state pharmacokinetic parameters after repeated intramuscular administration (e.g., Cmax,ss and AUCτ). The safety and tolerability of the test and reference products will also be evaluated.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

Paliperidone Palmitate Injection(PP1M)

Paliperidone palmitate injection will be administered intramuscularly according to two dosing regimens based on participants' prior exposure to paliperidone palmitate: 1. Participants with no prior use of paliperidone palmitate injection, or whose last dose was administered more than 6 months ago (for the once-monthly formulation), or more than 5 half-lives ago (for the once-every-3-months formulation): Day 1: 150 mg, deltoid muscle Day 8: 100 mg, deltoid muscle Followed by 100 mg every 28 days thereafter Approximate treatment duration: 148 days 2. Participants who have previously received at least 3 injections (including 150 mg Day 1 loading dose and 100 mg Day 8 loading dose, deltoid muscle) of the once-monthly formulation (100 mg) of paliperidone palmitate and whose last dose was given within 4 to 6 weeks prior to enrollment: Continue with 100 mg every 28 days Approximate treatment duration: 113 days
