Highlights

Psychiatrists rate improved efficacy of treatments for negative symptoms as the greatest unmet need. This unmet need presents a commercial opportunity for novel treatments to achieve product differentiation in the increasingly competitive antipsychotics market.

Treatment options are required for patients with refractory schizophrenia. Therefore, antipsychotics with superior efficacy will be a welcome addition to the physician's armamentarium.

Prescribers' decisions are predominantly influenced by the efficacy of treatments for positive symptoms. New treatments with superior efficacy and tolerability would be welcomed, although they would need to compete with generics and well-established brands.
