Safety & Tolerability

Weight change on CAPLYTA was similar to placebo in short-term trials1

In 4- to 6-week clinical trials, mean change in body weight from baseline at Day 28 was +3.5 lbs for CAPLYTA 42 mg and +2.9 lbs for placebo3

In a long-term study with CAPLYTA, patients saw1:

-4 lbs (average weight loss) after 6 months
-7 lbs (average weight loss) after 1 year

CAPLYTA had metabolic effects similar to placebo1

Mean change from baseline3

Mean change from baseline fasting glucose levels, total cholesterol levels, and triglycerides levels
  • CAPLYTA mean change from baseline was similar to placebo in terms of glycemic control, total cholesterol, and triglycerides1
  • Data were collected in patients with acute schizophrenia over 4-6 weeks1,3

Changes in prolactin levels were similar to placebo3

Mean change in prolactin from baseline at 4 weeks3

Mean change in prolactin from baseline at week 4 for patients receiving CAPLYTA 42 mg or placebo

Favorable weight, metabolic, and prolactin profile was observed in a 1-year trial with CAPLYTA3

Mean change from baseline in metabolic and endocrine parameters in a long-term open-label trial3

    Important Safety Information regarding metabolic effects:

  • Metabolic changes, including hyperglycemia, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and weight gain, have been reported with antipsychotic drugs1
  • Hyperglycemia, in some cases extreme and associated with ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar coma or death, has been reported in patients treated with antipsychotics. There have been reports of hyperglycemia in patients treated with CAPLYTA1
  • Assess fasting plasma glucose and lipids when initiating CAPLYTA and monitor periodically during long-term treatment1
