| Sumario: | Schizophrenia is a common debilitating disorder characterized by significant impairments in how reality is perceived, combined with behavioural changes. In this review, we describe the lurasidone development programme for adult and paediatric patients. Both the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics of lurasidone are revisited. In addition, pivotal clinical studies conducted on both adults and children are summarized. Several clinical cases, which demonstrate the role of lurasidone in real-world practice, are also presented. Current clinical guidelines recommend lurasidone as the first-line treatment in the acute and long-term management of schizophrenia in both adult and paediatric populations. |
