AIM: To explore the optimal dose of blonanserin transdermal patch (BNS-P) based on baseline psychiatric symptomatic characteristics during acute schizophrenia.
METHODS: A post hoc cluster analysis was conducted using data from a 6-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of BNS-P (40 or 80 mg/day) in acute schizophrenia. We classified patients into three clusters based on baseline psychiatric symptoms. Efficacy was assessed using the change from baseline to week 6 in the PANSS total score. Safety was assessed by the incidence of adverse events.
RESULTS: Among 577 patients, three clusters were identified, characterized by severe psychiatric (Cluster-S; n = 122), predominant negative (Cluster-N; n = 191), and predominant positive (Cluster-P; n = 264) symptoms. In Cluster-P, both BNS-P 40 and 80 mg/day reduced PANSS total score significantly more than placebo (p = 0.036, effect size = 0.342; p < 0.001, effect size = 0.687, respectively). In Cluster-S and -N, only BNS-P 80 mg/day reduced PANSS total score significantly more than placebo (p = 0.045, effect size = 0.497; p = 0.034, effect size = 0.393, respectively). The effect size was greater at 80 mg/day than at 40 mg/day across all clusters. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events were akathisia and skin-related adverse events in all clusters.
CONCLUSION: BNS-P exhibited a dose-dependent antipsychotic effect in all clusters, particularly highlighting its efficacy in patients with predominant positive symptoms, even at lower doses. These findings provide novel and valuable insights for determining BNS-P dose tailoring to individual symptomatic characteristics in real-world practice.
