Effect of Lurasidone on Social Functioning in Schizophrenia: Post Hoc Analysis of the JEWEL Study

Conclusions: In patients with schizophrenia treated with lurasidone, social functioning improved relative to placebo during a 6-week double-blind study and continued to improve over the course of 12 weeks of extension treatment with lurasidone. Effects of lurasidone on social functioning appear to be comparable to what has been reported for other atypical antipsychotics.Trial Registration: EudraCT Numbers: 2016-000060-42 and 2016-000061-23.PMID:38301186 | DOI:10.4088/JCP.23m14881
