Insights

Medical Research Analyst

The presentation of 23 abstracts at Psych Congress represents significant clinical validation for J&J's neuropsychiatry portfolio. The 5-year safety data from 35,000 SPRAVATO® patients provides robust evidence supporting the drug's long-term safety profile in treatment-resistant depression. This extensive real-world validation strengthens SPRAVATO®'s market position.

The analysis linking schizophrenia relapse to mortality risk in over 30,000 patients could drive increased adoption of long-acting injectables like paliperidone palmitate. The data showing 15-20% premature mortality highlights an urgent medical need and market opportunity.

The breadth of research across depression and schizophrenia, particularly around anhedonia and insomnia symptoms, demonstrates J&J's commitment to expanding therapeutic applications. This pipeline development and real-world evidence generation should help maintain J&J's leadership in neuropsychiatry.

ABOUT TREATMENT-RESISTANT DEPRESSION
Depression is a common mental health disorder that impacts an estimated 280 million people worldwide.² In the U.S., approximately 21 million adults have had at least one major depressive episode, and approximately one-third of medication-treated adults are considered to have TRD.^3,4 People living with MDD are often considered to have TRD if they have not responded adequately to at least two different antidepressants of adequate dose and duration in the current depressive episode.⁴ TRD has a significant negative impact on the lives of those affected and has one of the highest economic burdens of all psychiatric disorders.⁴

ABOUT SPRAVATO^®
SPRAVATO^® (esketamine) CIII nasal spray is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in combination with an oral antidepressant for adults with TRD and depressive symptoms in adults with major depressive disorder with acute suicidal ideation or behavior. It is the first treatment to use a new mechanism of action in decades for the treatment of TRD. SPRAVATO^® is a non-selective, non-competitive antagonist of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor and is believed to work differently by acting on a pathway in the brain that affects glutamate. To date, SPRAVATO^® has been approved in 79 countries and administered to more than 100,000 patients worldwide.

ABOUT MAJOR DEPRESSIVE DISORDER WITH INSOMNIA SYMPTOMS
MDD is one of the most common psychiatric disorders and leading causes of disability worldwide,⁵ with an estimated 280 million people living with the disorder around the world.² MDD is often accompanied by sleep disturbances such as insomnia or hypersomnia, affecting up to 60 percent of patients with MDD.⁶ Disturbed sleep and insomnia symptoms have a significant impact on a patient's quality of life and exacerbate the risk of depressive relapse and suicide.^7,8

ABOUT SELTOREXANT
Seltorexant, an investigational potential first-in-class therapy, is a selective antagonist of the human orexin-2 receptor currently being developed as an adjunctive treatment for adults with MDD with insomnia symptoms. Seltorexant is believed to selectively antagonize the orexin-2 receptors, potentially improving mood and sleep symptoms associated with depression. When orexin-2 receptors are stimulated for too long or at inappropriate times, their activation can cause hyperarousal manifestations, including insomnia and excessive cortisol release, which may contribute to depression and insomnia.

ABOUT SCHIZOPHRENIA
Schizophrenia is a chronic and severe brain disorder affecting approximately 20 million people worldwide and an estimated 2.4 million adults in the U.S.^9-11 The disease is characterized by distortions in thinking, perception, emotions, language, sense of self, and behavior.⁹ It can also lead to neurological impairment and severe disability.¹² Antipsychotic medication is recognized as an essential component in the treatment of schizophrenia, and adherence to medication plays a critical role in controlling symptoms and costly relapses.¹³

ABOUT J&J'S U.S. LONG-ACTING INJECTABLES
The J&J U.S. portfolio of long-acting injectable treatments for adults with schizophrenia provides the most varied range of dosing options and the longest-lasting schizophrenia treatments with each dose available. Our portfolio includes INVEGA SUSTENNA^® (1-month paliperidone palmitate), INVEGA TRINZA^® (3-month paliperidone palmitate), and INVEGA HAFYERA^® (6-month paliperidone palmitate), all of which are administered in a clinical setting by a medical professional.

Long-acting injectables (LAIs) allow for the slow release of medicine into the bloodstream and have been available and studied for more than 50 years. Based on clinical guidance, the National Council for Mental Wellbeing and the American Psychiatric Association have updated their guidance and practice guidelines to recommend the use of LAIs for appropriate patients.^14-16

SPRAVATO^® IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
