gov/medwatch . 1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice.
Adults The information below is derived from an integrated clinical study database for lurasidone hydrochloride consisting of 3799 adult patients exposed to one or more doses of lurasidone hydrochloride for the treatment of schizophrenia, and bipolar depression in placebo-controlled studies.
9 patient-years. A total of 1106 lurasidone hydrochloride -treated patients had at least 24 weeks and 371 lurasidone hydrochloride-treated patients had at least 52 weeks of exposure. Adverse events during exposure to study treatment were obtained by general inquiry and voluntarily reported adverse experiences, as well as results from physical examinations, vital signs, ECGs, weights and laboratory investigations.
Adverse experiences were recorded by clinical investigators using their own terminology. In order to provide a meaningful estimate of the proportion of individuals experiencing adverse events, events were grouped in standardized categories using MedDRA terminology.
Schizophrenia The following findings are based on the short-term, placebo-controlled premarketing adult studies for schizophrenia in which lurasidone hydrochloride tablets were administered at daily doses ranging from 20 to 160 mg (n=1508).
Commonly Observed Adverse Reactions:
The most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥ 5% and at least twice the rate of placebo) in patients treated with lurasidone hydrochloride were somnolence, akathisia, extrapyramidal symptoms, and nausea. 3% (66/708) of placebo-treated patients discontinued due to adverse reactions.
There were no adverse reactions associated with discontinuation in subjects treated with lurasidone hydrochloride that were at least 2% and at least twice the placebo rate. Adverse Reactions Occurring at an Incidence of 2% or More in Lurasidone Hydrochloride-Treated Patients: Adverse reactions associated with the use of lurasidone hydrochloride (incidence of 2% or greater, rounded to the nearest percent and lurasidone hydrochloride incidence greater than placebo) that occurred during acute therapy (up to 6 weeks in patients with schizophrenia) are shown in Table 19.

Dystonic symptoms include: spasm of the neck muscles, sometimes progressing to tightness of the throat, swallowing difficulty, difficulty breathing, and/or protrusion of the tongue. While these symptoms can occur at low doses, they occur more frequently and with greater severity with high potency and at higher doses of first-generation antipsychotic drugs.
An elevated risk of acute dystonia is observed in males and younger age groups. 8% of subjects receiving placebo. 5%, 7/1508) discontinued clinical trials due to dystonic events – four were receiving lurasidone hydrochloride tablets 80 mg/day and three were receiving lurasidone hydrochloride tablets 120 mg/day.
Adolescents In the short-term, placebo-controlled, adolescent schizophrenia study, dystonia occurred in 1% of lurasidone hydrochloride-treated patients (1% lurasidone hydrochloride tablets 40 mg and 1% lurasidone hydrochloride tablets 80 mg) compared to 0% of patients receiving placebo.
No patients discontinued the clinical study due to dystonic events. 0% of subjects receiving placebo. No subject discontinued the clinical study due to dystonic events. 6% of subjects receiving placebo. No subject discontinued the clinical study due to dystonic events.
2% of patients receiving placebo. No patients discontinued the clinical study due to dystonic events.

Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
