Medincell (Paris:MEDCL):
More than 92% of schizophrenia patients taking Olanzapine LAI
in the Phase 3 SOLARIS survey were satisfied or very satisfied with
the initiation regimen, dosing schedule and trial
medication1.
Richard Malamut, Chief Medical Officer at Medincell,
commented: “Patient and healthcare professional satisfaction
with treatment options is critical to successfully managing
schizophrenia. In addition to positive efficacy results2, the Phase
3 trial of our long-acting injectable formulation of olanzapine has
demonstrated promising potential in addressing the significant
challenge of PDSS3,4. Encouraging early clinical feedback further
indicates that the key features enabled by our technology - such as
a convenient dosing schedule, straightforward initiation regimen,
and subcutaneous administration - have been very well received.
These advantages could be instrumental in expanding treatment
access for more individuals living with schizophrenia.”
These survey results were presented by Teva as part of a
large set of schizophrenia data at the SIRS 2025, taking place from
March 29 to April 2 in Chicago (Teva’s press
release).

Olanzapine LAI (mdc-TJK / TEV-‘749) is an investigational,
once-monthly, subcutaneous long-acting injection of the atypical
antipsychotic olanzapine for the treatment of schizophrenia. This
is the second drug within the partnership with Teva that uses
Medincell’s co-polymer technology (licensed to Teva under the name
SteadyTeq™) to generate a controlled steady release of drug
throughout the dosing interval. Teva is currently preparing for
regulatory submission and launch of Olanzapine LAI, with long-term
full safety data expected to be released in Q2 2025 and an NDA
submission anticipated in H2 2025. UZEDY®, the other drug, was
approved by the US FDA in April 2023.
Medincell’s partner Teva leads the clinical development and
regulatory process and is responsible for commercialization of the
long-acting olanzapine. Medincell is entitled to receive royalties
on net sales, along with development and commercial milestone
payments.

3 Post-Injection Delirium/Sedation
Syndrome (PDSS) is a rare but significant complication associated
with existing long-acting injectable formulation of olanzapine.
PDSS occurs when a portion of the injected medication
unintentionally enters the bloodstream too quickly, causing sudden
sedation, confusion, and potentially serious side effects such as
respiratory issues. For healthcare providers and patients, PDSS
remains a barrier to the widespread use of olanzapine LAI. The
requirement for close post-injection monitoring limits the
convenience and flexibility of this treatment option. Medincell’s
olanzapine LAI is designed to eliminate the risk of PDSS,
potentially making it a safer and more accessible treatment
option.
