Plain Language Summary of Publication: A comparison of once-monthly and once-every-2-months injectable formulations of aripiprazole in people with schizophrenia.

The purpose of this summary is to explain key findings from a study that included people with schizophrenia, as described in two separate articles (see the 'Further Information' section for more details). The study compared a new formulation of aripiprazole, given as an injection once every 2 months, with a once‑monthly injection of aripiprazole.

Use of an injection of aripiprazole given once every 2 months (Abilify Asimtufii) in people with bipolar I disorder: a Plain Language Summary of Publication.

The purpose of this summary is to explain key findings from a study that included people with bipolar I disorder, as described in two separate articles (see the 'Further Information' section for more details). The study compared a new formulation of aripiprazole, given as an injection once every 2 months, with a once‑monthly injection of aripiprazole.

Safety and Efficacy of Aripiprazole 2-Month Ready-to-Use 960 mg: Secondary Analysis of Outcomes in Adult Patients With Schizophrenia in a Randomized, Open-label, Parallel-Arm, Pivotal Study.

Aripiprazole 2-month ready-to-use 960 mg (Ari 2MRTU 960) is a new long-acting injectable antipsychotic formulation for administration every 2 months. A randomized, open-label, 32-week trial evaluated the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of Ari 2MRTU 960 in clinically stable adults with schizophrenia or bipolar I disorder (per criteria). This secondary analysis evaluated the safety and efficacy of Ari 2MRTU 960 in the subpopulation of patients with schizophrenia.

Aripiprazole Plasma Concentrations Delivered from Two 2-Month Long-Acting Injectable Formulations: An Indirect Comparison.

Aripiprazole 2-month ready-to-use 960 mg (Ari 2MRTU 960) is a novel long-acting injectable (LAI) formulation of aripiprazole monohydrate for administration once every 2 months, developed for the treatment of schizophrenia or maintenance monotherapy treatment of bipolar I disorder in adults (indication will vary by country). Aripiprazole lauroxil 1064 mg (AL 1064) is an LAI formulation of aripiprazole lauroxil, an aripiprazole prodrug, for administration once every 2 months, indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults. This analysis provides an indirect comparison of aripiprazole plasma concentrations following multiple doses of either formulation.

Safety and efficacy of aripiprazole 2-month ready-to-use 960 mg: secondary analysis of outcomes in adult patients with bipolar I disorder in a randomized, open-label, parallel-arm, pivotal study.

Objective: Aripiprazole 2-month ready-to-use 960 mg (Ari 2MRTU 960) is a new long-acting injectable antipsychotic formulation for administration every 2 months. A 32-week trial evaluated the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of Ari 2MRTU 960 in clinically stable adults with schizophrenia or bipolar I disorder (BP-I) (per DSM-5 criteria). This secondary analysis evaluated the safety and efficacy of Ari 2MRTU 960 in the subpopulation of patients with BP-I.

A Randomized, Open-Label, Multiple-Dose, Parallel-Arm, Pivotal Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Aripiprazole 2-Month Long-Acting Injectable in Adults With Schizophrenia or Bipolar I Disorder.

Background: Aripiprazole 2-month ready-to-use 960 mg (Ari 2MRTU 960) is a new long-acting injectable antipsychotic formulation for gluteal administration every 2 months, currently being investigated for the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar I disorder (BP-I). The objectives of this trial were to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Ari 2MRTU 960, and the similarity of aripiprazole plasma concentrations following administration of Ari 2MRTU 960 or aripiprazole once-monthly 400 mg (AOM 400), in adults with schizophrenia or BP-I.

Methods: This was a 32-week open-label study.

Putative coiled-coil structural elements of the BBA68 protein of Lyme disease spirochetes are required for formation of its factor H binding site.

Factor H and factor H like-protein 1 (FHL-1) are complement regulatory proteins that serve as cofactors for the factor I-mediated cleavage of C3b. Some Lyme disease and relapsing fever spirochete species bind factor H to their surface to facilitate immune evasion. The Lyme disease spirochetes produce several factor H binding proteins (FHBPs) that form two distinct classes.
