Prodrugs and patents: Enhancing therapy adherence and reducing side effects

Bristol Myers Squibb's schizophrenia drug KarXT, with a PDUFA date of 26 September 2024, shows strong clinical data and a differentiated mechanism. Concerns over its twice-daily dosing led Terran Biosciences to develop a once-daily oral and multi-month injectable prodrug version, TerXT and TerXT LAI, aiming to improve adherence. KarXT's potential to avoid traditional antipsychotic side effects like weight gain and diabetes risks is highlighted, with GlobalData forecasting $2.99bn in sales by 2030.

Families need better guidance from neurologists on therapy priorities and polypharmacy, as well as support to make informed decisions without judgment.
