New Developments in the Treatment of Schizophrenia: An Expert Roundtable.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Schizophrenia is a disabling disorder that profoundly affects functioning and quality of life. While available antipsychotics have improved outcomes for patients with schizophrenia, they are relatively ineffective for negative and cognitive symptoms and are associated with a range of troublesome side effects. A significant unmet medical need for more effective and better-tolerated therapies remains.

Methods

A roundtable consisting of 4 experts in the treatment of patients with schizophrenia convened to discuss the current treatment landscape, unmet needs from patient and societal perspectives, and the potential of emerging therapies with novel mechanisms of action (MOAs).

Results

Key areas of unmet need include optimal implementation of available treatments
