              Warnings

              Black Box Warnings

              Increased mortality in elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis

              • Increased mortality in elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis observed when treated with antipsychotic drugs
              • Not approved for treatment of patients with dementia-related psychosis

              Suicidal thoughts and behaviors

              • Antidepressants increased the risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviors in pediatric and young adults in short-term studies
              • Closely monitor all antidepressant-treated patients for clinical worsening, and for emergence of suicidal thoughts and behaviors
              • Safety and effectiveness not established in pediatric patients

              Contraindications

              History of hypersensitivity; reactions have included pruritus, rash (eg, allergic dermatitis, papular rash, and generalized rash), and urticaria

              Cautions

              Geriatric patients with dementia-related psychosis who are treated with antipsychotic drugs are at increased risk of death

              Geriatric patients with dementia who were treated with antipsychotics had a higher incidence of stroke and transient ischemic attacks, including fatal stroke

              Monitor all antidepressant-treated patients for any indication for clinical worsening and emergence of suicidal thoughts and behaviors, especially during initial few months of drug therapy, and at times of dosage changes; counsel family members or caregivers of patients to monitor for changes in behavior and to alert the healthcare provider; consider changing therapeutic regimen, including possibly discontinuing therapy, in patients whose depression is persistently worse, or who are experiencing suicidal thoughts or behaviors

              Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS), a potentially fatal symptom complex, reported with administration of antipsychotic drugs; if NMS suspected, immediately discontinue lumateperone and provide intensive symptomatic treatment and monitoring

              Tardive dyskinesia, a syndrome consisting of potentially irreversible, involuntary, dyskinetic movements, may develop in patients treated with antipsychotic drugs; risk appears to be highest among elderly individuals, especially women, but it is not possible to predict which patients are likely to develop the syndrome

              May cause metabolic changes, including hyperglycemia, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and weight gain

              Leukopenia and neutropenia reported with antipsychotic agents, including lumateperone; agranulocytosis reported with other agents in the class

              May cause orthostatic hypotension and syncope; risk is greatest during initial dose administration

              Antipsychotics, including lumateperone, may cause somnolence, postural hypotension, and motor and sensory instability, which may lead to falls and, consequently, fractures and other injuries

              May cause seizures; risk is greatest with history of seizures or with conditions that lower seizure threshold

              May cause somnolence and has the potential to impair judgment, thinking, and motor skills

              May disrupt the body’s ability to reduce core body temperature; strenuous exercise, exposure to extreme heat, dehydration, and anticholinergic medications may contribute to an elevated core body temperature

              Esophageal dysmotility and aspiration reported with antipsychotic drug use

              Drug interaction overview

              • CYP3A4 inhibitors
                • ​Strong inhibitors: Reduce lumateperone dose to 10.5 mg/day
                • Moderate inhibitors: Reduce lumateperone dose to 21 mg/day
                • Moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors increase systemic exposure of lumateperone
              • CYP3A4 inducers
                • Avoid coadministration
                • CYP3A4 inducers decrease systemic exposure of lumateperone

              Pregnancy & Lactation

              Pregnancy

              Neonates exposed to antipsychotic drugs during the third trimester are at risk for extrapyramidal and/or withdrawal symptoms following delivery

              Available data from case reports on use in pregnant women are insufficient to establish any drug-associated risks for birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes

              Register patients by contacting the National Pregnancy Registry for Atypical Antipsychotics at 1-866-961-2388 or online at http://womensmentalhealth.org/clinical-and-research-programs/pregnancyregistry/

              Animal studies

              • No malformations were observed with oral administration of lumateperone to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis at doses up to 2.4 and 9.7 times, respectively, the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 42 mg/day on a mg/m2 basis
              • When pregnant rats were administered lumateperone during organogenesis through lactation, the number of perinatal deaths of pups was increased at 4.9 times the MRHD, with no adverse effects on pups at 2.4 times the MRHD

              Clinical considerations

              • There is risk to the mother from untreated schizophrenia, including increased risk of relapse, hospitalization, and suicide
              • Schizophrenia is associated with increased adverse perinatal outcomes, including preterm birth; unknown if this is a direct result of the illness or other comorbid factors

              Infertility

              • Based on findings from animal studies, lumateperone may impair male and female fertility

              Lactation

              Lumateperone and its metabolites are present in human breast milk in low amounts; in a clinical lactation study, lumateperone was detected in human milk at an estimated daily infant dose 0.0004 mg/kg, with a relative infant dose (RID) of 0.06% the maternal weight-adjusted dosage

              Several major circulating metabolites were similarly detected in breast milk in low amounts; however, aniline metabolites were not present in milk or maternal plasma at quantifiable levels; there are no data on effects of therapy on breastfed infant or effects on milk production

              Consider developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding along with mother’s clinical need for therapy and any potential adverse effects on breastfed child from therapy or from underlying maternal condition

              Pregnancy Categories

              A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.

              B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk.

              C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done.

              D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk.

              X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist.

              NA: Information not available.

              Pharmacology

              Mechanism of Action

              The mechanism of action of lumateperone in the treatment of schizophrenia is unknown; however, efficacy could be mediated through a combination of antagonist activity at central serotonin 5-HT2A receptors and postsynaptic antagonist activity at central dopamine D2 receptors

              Absorption

              Bioavailability: 4.4%

              Peak plasma time: 1-2 hr

              Ingestion with high-fat meal

              • Lowers lumateperone mean peak plasma concentration by 33% and increases mean AUC by 9%

              Distribution

              Protein bound: 97.4%

              Vd: 4.1 L/kg

              Metabolism

              Extensively metabolized with >20 metabolites identified in vivo

              Multiple enzymes, including but not limited to uridine 5’-diphospho- glucuronosyltransferases (UDP-glucuronosyltransferase, UGT) 1A1, 1A4, and 2B15, aldoketoreductase (AKR)1C1, 1B10, and 1C4, and cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4, 2C8, and 1A2, are involved in the metabolism of lumateperone

              Elimination

              Half-life: ~18 hr (IV administration)

              Clearance: 27.9 L/hr
