FDA Gives Conditional Approval For Aripiprazole For Schizophrenia

WASHINGTON (Reuters Health) Sept 03 - Bristol-Myers Squibb Company and Japan's Otsuka Pharmaceutical Company Ltd. announced on Tuesday that they have received an approvable letter from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for their investigational schizophrenia therapy aripiprazole.
Final approval of aripiprazole is contingent upon the successful completion of ongoing discussions with the FDA, the companies added in a statement.

Aripiprazole, whose proposed trade name is Abilify, was discovered by Otsuka Pharmaceutical. The product is said to be the first of a new generation of atypical antipsychotics that might offer an improved side-effect profile.

Bristol-Myers Squibb spokeswoman Tracy Furey told Reuters Health an estimated 2 million Americans suffer from schizophrenia. She said clinical trials of the drug currently are ongoing for the treatment of acute mania, bipolar disease and Alzheimer's disease.
