ABOUT MAJOR DEPRESSIVE DISORDER (MDD)
MDD is one of the most common psychiatric disorders and a leading cause of disability worldwide, impacting an estimated 332 million people– or about 5 percent of the population.5,6 In 2021, approximately 21 million adults in the U.S. had at least one major depressive episode.7 While depression is typically treated with a "one-size-fits-all" approach, no two cases are the same. MDD is a complex, heterogeneous disorder involving multiple regions of the brain and presenting with as many as 256 unique symptom combinations.8,9 As a result, responses to treatment vary widely. With current standard-of-care oral antidepressants, 2 in 3 people living with MDD continue to experience residual or persistent symptoms.10 Moreover, MDD is a risk factor for the development and worsening of a range of comorbidities, illustrating the importance of integrating mental and general health care.11
MDD is often accompanied by sleep disturbances such as insomnia or hypersomnia, with approximately 60 percent of MDD patients experiencing insomnia symptoms despite being on standard-of-care oral antidepressants.12 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.13,14
Approximately one-third of adults with MDD will not respond to oral antidepressants alone and are considered to have treatment-resistant depression (TRD), which is often defined as inadequate response to two or more oral antidepressants that were administered at an adequate dose for an adequate duration.7,15 TRD has a significant negative impact on the lives of those affected and has one of the highest economic burdens of all psychiatric disorders.15 Patients often cycle through multiple oral medications, waiting 4-6 weeks for potential relief.16 Based on the STAR*d study after trying their third oral antidepressant, approximately 86 percent of patients do not achieve remission.16
ABOUT CAPLYTA® (lumateperone)
CAPLYTA® is approved by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of adults with schizophrenia, as well as depressive episodes associated with bipolar I or II disorder (bipolar depression), as monotherapy, and as adjunctive therapy with lithium or valproate. While its exact mechanism of action is unknown, CAPLYTA® is characterized by high serotonin 5-HT2A receptor occupancy and lower amounts of dopamine D2 receptor occupancy at therapeutic doses.
A supplemental new drug application (sNDA) for CAPLYTA® as an adjunctive treatment for adults with major depressive disorder is currently under U.S. Food and Drug Administration review.
ABOUT SELTOREXANT
Seltorexant, an investigational 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 selectively antagonizes the orexin-2 receptors, potentially improving mood symptoms and restoring sleep without next-day sedation in patients with depression.17 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.18,19 Seltorexant is the only investigational therapy being studied in MDD that is believed to work by normalizing the overactivation of the orexin-2 receptors, thereby addressing the underlying biology that contributes to depression and causes insomnia symptoms.
ABOUT SPRAVATO®
SPRAVATO® (esketamine) CIII nasal spray is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration alone or in conjunction with an oral antidepressant for adults with MDD when they have inadequate response to at least two oral antidepressants (TRD) and depressive symptoms in adults with major depressive disorder with acute suicidal ideation or behavior in conjunction with an oral antidepressant. It is a non-selective, non-competitive antagonist of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor and is believed to work differently than traditional antidepressants by acting on a pathway in the brain that affects glutamate. The mechanism by which esketamine exerts its antidepressant effect is unknown. To date, SPRAVATO® has been approved in 79 markets and administered to more than 150,000 patients worldwide.
ABOUT SCHIZOPHRENIA
Schizophrenia is a complex, chronic brain disorder that affects how people think, feel, speak, and act. It affects up to an estimated 2.8 million adults in the U.S. yet remains widely misunderstood and insufficiently treated.20 Symptoms vary by person, but confusion and distortions in perceptions, emotions, and behavior are common.21 Evidence shows that the first three to five years after diagnosis – "the critical period" – from symptom onset are key for a patient's treatment, as this is when the condition progresses most rapidly.22,23 A comprehensive treatment plan, which may include medication, therapy, and psychosocial services, can be critical in delaying the time to relapse for adults with schizophrenia.24
ABOUT J&J'S SCHIZOPHRENIA PORTFOLIO
Johnson & Johnson's portfolio of schizophrenia therapies offers the broadest range of oral and long-acting injectable treatment options to support each patient's individual treatment journey. The Company's 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, including 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.21,22
CAPLYTA® is a once-daily oral therapy approved to treat adults with schizophrenia. A supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for CAPLYTA® with long-term data evaluating the safety and efficacy of the medication for the prevention of relapse in schizophrenia was recently submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
CAPLYTA® Important Safety Information
CAPLYTA® (lumateperone) is indicated in adults for the treatment of schizophrenia and depressive episodes associated with bipolar I or II disorder (bipolar depression) as monotherapy and as adjunctive therapy with lithium or valproate.
