Lundbeck A/S (Lundbeck) today announced results from a preliminary analysis that showed statistically significant reductions (p<0.0001) in total psychiatric hospitalization rates in patients diagnosed with schizophrenia who were converted to once-monthly ABILIFY MAINTENA™ (aripiprazole) – an extended-release injectable suspension formulation of aripiprazole – compared to previous treatment with daily standard-of-care (SOC) oral antipsychotics.1 Relapse, or an acute exacerbation of the disease, can result in hospitalization.2 It also has been reported that hospitalization may contribute to higher health care costs.3 These data were presented in a poster at the 166th American Psychiatric Association (APA) Annual Meeting in San Francisco on May 21.1
