Summary of Clinical Use Click here for help
In Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials, lumateperone demonstrated improved sleep maintenance, antipsychotic efficacy, and clinical signals consistent with reduction in negative symptoms associated with schizophrenia, depression and anxiety, and other symptoms associated with impaired social function. It was progressed to Phase 3 clinical trials for the treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar depression, and Alzheimer's disease [1].

Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects Click here for help
Lumateperone simultaneously modulates serotonin, dopamine, and glutamate signalling, which are three neurotransmitter pathways that are implicated in severe mental illness. Low dose lumateperone behaves as a highly potent 5-HT2A receptor antagonist. As the dose is increased, engagement with additional molecular targets occurs with the compound showing modest dopamine receptor modulation and modest inhibition of serotonin transporters [4]. In relation to its effects on dopamine signalling via D2 receptors, lumateperone acts as a pre-synaptic partial agonist and post-synaptic antagonist.
