Therapeutic activity:
The medicine belongs to the class of second generation antipsychotic
medicines and is used for the treatment of schizophrenia and
schizoaffective disorder.
The characteristic symptoms of these diseases are, for example:
hearing, seeing or sensing things that are not there (hallucinations
or delusions), false beliefs, unusual suspiciousness,becoming
withdrawn, incoherent speech, apathy, difficulty concentrating and
despondency.Patients with schizophrenia may experience
depression, anxiety, guilt, self-neglect or tension.Patients with
schizoaffectivedisorder will also experience symptoms of exaggerated
despondent or elated mood, changes in appetite and sleep
disturbances (depression or mania).
When should the preparation not be used?
Do not breastfeed while you are using this medicine.
Do not use if there is a known sensitivity to the active ingredient
paliperidone or to any other ingredients of the medicine, or if you

function of:the heart and/or blood vessels - if you are a heart patient
or are receiving treatment for heart disease that may cause low
blood pressure, the liver, the kidney,from Parkinson's disease or
dementia.
If you havesuffered in the past from neuroleptic malignant syndrome
- the signs for which are high fever and muscle stiffness,or from
delayed movement disorder (tardive dyskinesia) - the signs for which
are abnormal movements of the face or tongue.These conditions
may be caused bytaking antipsychotic medicines.
If you are diabetic or at risk for diabetes.The doctor may instruct
you to haveblood tests to monitor your blood sugar level.

If you suffer from an illness that causes diarrhea.
If you suffer from prolonged or painful erection.
If you suffer from a problem of body temperature regulation or from
high fever, pay attention to situations that contribute to raising the
body temperature such as strenuous physical activity, exposure to
sources of heat, medical treatment with other medicines with
anticholinergic activity or exposure to dehydrating conditions.
If you or anyone else in your family suffer/s or suffered in the past
from blood clots, since antipsychotics may havean effect on formation
of blood clots.
Invega 3 mg tablet contains lactose (a type of sugar).If you suffer
from intolerance to certain sugars, consult your doctor before taking
this medicine.There is no problem with taking the other dose

this medicine.
Warnings:
Avoid sudden transition from a lying/sitting position to standing,
especially at the beginning of treatment withInvegaor when the
dosage is raised.It is recommended to takethe first dose while
lying or sitting in viewof the fact that a temporary drop in blood
pressure is possible.Patients with heart diseases and patients being
treated with antihypertensives must be careful when changing
position.
Antipsychotic medicines, includingInvega, are associated with a
temporary reduction in the white blood cell count (leucopenia,
neutropenia).In patients suffering from a low white blood cell count
frequent blood counts should be performed in the first months of
treatment, and discontinuation of treatment should be considered
if a significant reduction in white blood cell count occurs without any
other reason.Agranulocytosis has also been reported.
If you are sensitive to any type of food or medicine, inform your
doctor before commencing treatment with this medicine.
Drug interactions:
If you are taking another drug concomitantly or if you havejust
finished treatment with another medicine, inform the attending
doctor, in order to prevent hazards or lack of efficacy arising from
drug interactions.This is especially important for medicines belonging
to the following groups:
SinceInvegaacts mainly on the brain, there may be an increased
effect of other medicines (or alcohol) that act on the brain.
Since the medicine may lower blood pressure, be careful when
taking it together with other medicines that lower blood pressure.
Invega may reduce the effect of medicines for treatment of Parkinson's
disease or restless leg syndrome (for example,levodopa).
Medicines for the treatment of arrhythmias, such as quinidine and
procainamide, amiodarone and sotalol, certain antipsychotics (for
example, chlorpromazine, thioridazine), antibiotics (for example,

FULL PRESCRIBING INFORMATION
WARNING: INCREASED MORTALITY IN ELDERLY PATIENTS WITH DEMENTIA-
RELATED PSYCHOSIS
Elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis treated with antipsychotic drugs are at an
increased risk of death. Analyses of 17 placebo-controlled trials (modal duration of 10
weeks), largely in patients taking atypical antipsychotic drugs, revealed a risk of death in
drug-treated patients of between 1.6 to 1.7 times the risk of death in placebo-treated
patients. Over the course of a typical 10-week controlled trial, the rate of death in drug-
treated patients was about 4.5%, compared to a rate of about 2.6% in the placebo group.
Although the causes of death were varied, most of the deaths appeared to be either
cardiovascular (e.g., heart failure, sudden death) or infectious (e.g., pneumonia) in nature.
Observational studies suggest that, similar to atypical antipsychotic drugs, treatment with
conventional antipsychotic drugs may increase mortality. The extent to which the findings
of increased mortality in observational studies may be attributed to the antipsychotic drug
as opposed to some characteristic(s) of the patients is not clear. INVEGA

(paliperidone)
Extended-Release Tablets is not approved for the treatment of patients with dementia-
related psychosis. [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
2.1
Schizophrenia
Adults
The recommended dose of INVEGA
(paliperidone) Extended-Release Tablets for the treatment
of schizophrenia in adults is 6 mg once daily, administered in the morning. Initial dose titration is
not required. Although it has not been systematically established that doses above 6 mg have
additional benefit, there was a general trend for greater effects with higher doses. This must be
Invega PI Dec 2013 CL
weighed against the dose-related increase in adverse reactions. Thus, some patients may benefit
from higher doses, up to 12 mg/day, and for some patients, a lower dose of 3 mg/day may be
sufficient. Dose increases above 6 mg/day should be made only after clinical reassessment and
generally should occur at intervals of more than 5 days. When dose increases are indicated,
increments of 3 mg/day are recommended. The maximum recommended dose is 12 mg/day.
In a longer-term study, INVEGA
has been shown to be effective in delaying time to relapse in
patients with schizophrenia who were stabilized on INVEGA
for 6 weeks
[see Clinical Studies
(14)]
. INVEGA
should be prescribed at the lowest effective dose for maintaining clinical
stability and the physician should periodically reevaluate the long-term usefulness of the drug in
individual patients.
Adolescents (12-17 years of age)
The recommended starting dose of INVEGA® (paliperidone) Extended-Release Tablets for the
treatment of schizophrenia in adolescents 12-17 years of age is 3 mg administered once daily.
Initial dose titration is not required. Dose increases, if considered necessary, should be made
only after clinical reassessment and should occur at increments of 3 mg/day at intervals of more
than 5 days. Prescribers should be mindful that, in the adolescent schizophrenia study, there was
no clear enhancement to efficacy at the higher doses, i.e., 6 mg for subjects weighing less than
51 kg and 12 mg for subjects weighing 51 kg or greater, while adverse events were dose-related.
2.2
Schizoaffective Disorder
The recommended dose of INVEGA
(paliperidone) Extended-Release Tablets for the treatment
of schizoaffective disorder is 6 mg administered once daily, administered in the morning. Initial
dose titration is not required. Some patients may benefit from lower or higher doses within the
recommended dose range of 3 to 12 mg once daily. A general trend for greater effects was seen
with higher doses. This trend must be weighed against dose-related increase in adverse reactions.
Dosage adjustment, if indicated, should occur only after clinical reassessment. Dose increases, if
indicated, generally should occur at intervals of more than 4 days. When dose increases are
indicated, increments of 3 mg/day are recommended. The maximum recommended dose is 12
mg/day.
2.3
Administration Instructions
INVEGA
can be taken with or without food. Clinical trials establishing the safety and efficacy
of INVEGA® were carried out in patients without regard to food intake.
INVEGA
must be swallowed whole with the aid of liquids. Tablets should not be chewed,
divided, or crushed. The medication is contained within a nonabsorbable shell designed to
release the drug at a controlled rate. The tablet shell, along with insoluble core components, is
Invega PI Dec 2013 CL
eliminated from the body; patients should not be concerned if they occasionally notice in their
stool something that looks like a tablet.
2.4
Use with Risperidone
Concomitant use of INVEGA
with risperidone has not been studied. Since paliperidone is the
major active metabolite of risperidone, consideration should be given to the additive paliperidone
exposure if risperidone is coadministered with INVEGA
2.5
Dosage in Special Populations
Renal Impairment
Dosing must be individualized according to the patient’s renal function status. For patients with
mild renal impairment (creatinine clearance
50 mL/min to < 80 mL/min), the recommended
initial dose of INVEGA
is 3 mg once daily. The dose may then be increased to a maximum of 6
mg once daily based on clinical response and tolerability. For patients with moderate to severe
renal impairment (creatinine clearance
10 mL/min to < 50 mL/min), the recommended initial
dose of INVEGA
is 3 mg once daily. As INVEGA
has not been studied in patients with
creatinine clearance below 10 mL/min, use is not recommended in such patients.
[See Clinical
Pharmacology (12.3)]
Hepatic Impairment
For patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment, (Child-Pugh Classification A and B), no
dose adjustment is recommended
[see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]
. INVEGA
has not been
studied in patients with severe hepatic impairment.
Elderly
Because elderly patients may have diminished renal function, dose adjustments may be required
according to their renal function status. In general, recommended dosing for elderly patients with
normal renal function is the same as for younger adult patients with normal renal function. For
patients
with
moderate
severe
renal
impairment
(creatinine
clearance
mL/min
< 50 mL/min), the maximum recommended dose of INVEGA
is 3 mg once daily
[see Renal
Impairment above]

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
5.1
Increased Mortality in Elderly Patients with Dementia-Related Psychosis
Elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis treated with antipsychotic drugs are at an
increased risk of death. INVEGA
®
(paliperidone) is not approved for the treatment of
dementia-related psychosis [see Boxed Warning].
5.2
Cerebrovascular Adverse Reactions, Including Stroke, in Elderly Patients
With Dementia-Related Psychosis
In placebo-controlled trials with risperidone, aripiprazole, and olanzapine in elderly subjects with
dementia, there was a higher incidence of cerebrovascular adverse reactions (cerebrovascular
accidents
transient
ischemic
attacks)
including
fatalities
compared
placebo-treated
subjects. INVEGA
was not marketed at the time these studies were performed. INVEGA
not approved for the treatment of patients with dementia-related psychosis
[see also Boxed
Warning and Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]
5.3
Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome
A potentially fatal symptom complex sometimes referred to as Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome
(NMS)
been
reported
association
with
antipsychotic
drugs,
including
paliperidone.
Clinical manifestations of NMS are hyperpyrexia, muscle rigidity, altered mental status, and
evidence of autonomic instability (irregular pulse or blood pressure, tachycardia, diaphoresis,
cardiac
dysrhythmia).
Additional
signs
include
elevated
creatine
phosphokinase,
myoglobinuria (rhabdomyolysis), and acute renal failure.
The diagnostic evaluation of patients with this syndrome is complicated. In arriving at a
diagnosis, it is important to identify cases in which the clinical presentation includes both serious
medical illness (e.g., pneumonia, systemic infection, etc.) and untreated or inadequately treated
extrapyramidal signs and symptoms (EPS). Other important considerations in the differential
diagnosis include central anticholinergic toxicity, heat stroke, drug fever, and primary central
nervous system pathology.
The management of NMS should include: (1) immediate discontinuation of antipsychotic drugs

paliperidone should be avoided in combination with other drugs that are known to prolong QTc
including Class 1A
(e.g.,
quinidine,
procainamide) or Class III (e.g., amiodarone,
sotalol)
antiarrhythmic
medications,
antipsychotic
medications
(e.g.,
chlorpromazine,
thioridazine),
antibiotics (e.g., gatifloxacin, moxifloxacin), or any other class of medications known to prolong
the QTc interval. Paliperidone should also be avoided in patients with congenital long QT
syndrome and in patients with a history of cardiac arrhythmias.
Certain circumstances may increase the risk of the occurrence of torsade de pointes and/or
sudden death in association with the use of drugs that prolong the QTc interval, including
(1) bradycardia; (2) hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia; (3) concomitant use of other drugs that
prolong the QTc interval; and (4) presence of congenital prolongation of the QT interval.
The effects of paliperidone on the QT interval were evaluated in a double-blind, active-
controlled (moxifloxacin 400 mg single dose), multicenter QT study in adults with schizophrenia
and schizoaffective disorder, and in three placebo- and active-controlled 6-week, fixed-dose
efficacy trials in adults with schizophrenia.
In the QT study (n = 141), the 8 mg dose of immediate-release oral paliperidone (n=50) showed
a mean placebo-subtracted increase from baseline in QTcLD of 12.3 msec (90% CI: 8.9; 15.6) on
day 8 at 1.5 hours post-dose. The mean steady-state peak plasma concentration for this 8 mg
dose of paliperidone immediate-release was more than twice the exposure observed with the
maximum recommended 12 mg dose of INVEGA
ss = 113 ng/mL and 45 ng/mL,
respectively, when administered with a standard breakfast). In this same study, a 4 mg dose of
the immediate-release oral formulation of paliperidone, for which C
ss = 35 ng/mL, showed
an increased placebo-subtracted QTcLD of 6.8 msec (90% CI: 3.6; 10.1) on day 2 at 1.5 hours
post-dose. None of the subjects had a change exceeding 60 msec or a QTcLD exceeding
500 msec at any time during this study.
For the three fixed-dose efficacy studies in subjects with schizophrenia, electrocardiogram
(ECG) measurements taken at various time points showed only one subject in the INVEGA
mg group had a change exceeding 60 msec at one time-point on Day 6 (increase of 62 msec). No
subject receiving INVEGA
had a QTcLD exceeding 500 msec at any time in any of these three
studies.
5.5
Tardive Dyskinesia
Invega PI Dec 2013 CL
A syndrome of potentially irreversible, involuntary, dyskinetic movements may develop in
patients treated with antipsychotic drugs. Although the prevalence of the syndrome appears to be
highest among the elderly, especially elderly women, it is impossible to predict which patients
will develop the syndrome. Whether antipsychotic drug products differ in their potential to cause
tardive dyskinesia is unknown.
The risk of developing tardive dyskinesia and the likelihood that it will become irreversible
appear to increase as the duration of treatment and the total cumulative dose of antipsychotic
drugs administered to the patient increase, but the syndrome can develop after relatively brief
treatment periods at low doses, although this is uncommon.
There is no known treatment for established tardive dyskinesia, although the syndrome may
remit, partially or completely, if antipsychotic treatment is withdrawn. Antipsychotic treatment
itself may suppress (or partially suppress) the signs and symptoms of the syndrome and may thus
mask the underlying process. The effect of symptomatic suppression on the long-term course
of the syndrome is unknown.
Given these considerations, INVEGA
should be prescribed in a manner that is most likely to
minimize the occurrence of tardive dyskinesia. Chronic antipsychotic treatment should generally

antipsychotic drugs. In patients who do require chronic treatment, the smallest dose and the
shortest duration of treatment producing a satisfactory clinical response should be sought. The
need for continued treatment should be reassessed periodically.
If signs and symptoms of tardive dyskinesia appear in a patient treated with INVEGA
, drug
discontinuation should be considered. However, some patients may require treatment with
INVEGA
despite the presence of the syndrome.
5.6
Metabolic Changes
Atypical antipsychotic drugs have been associated with metabolic changes that may increase
cardiovascular/cerebrovascular risk. These metabolic changes include hyperglycemia,
dyslipidemia, and body weight gain. While all of the drugs in the class have been shown to
produce some metabolic changes, each drug has its own specific risk profile.

diabetes in trial subjects treated with INVEGA
. Assessment of the relationship between atypical

of diabetes mellitus in the general population. Given these confounders, the relationship between

antipsychotics should be monitored regularly for worsening of glucose control. Patients with risk
factors for diabetes mellitus (e.g., obesity, family history of diabetes) who are starting treatment
with atypical antipsychotics should undergo fasting blood glucose testing at the beginning of
treatment and periodically during treatment. Any patient treated with atypical antipsychotics
should be monitored for symptoms of hyperglycemia including polydipsia, polyuria, polyphagia,
and weakness. Patients who develop symptoms of hyperglycemia during treatment with atypical
antipsychotics should undergo fasting blood glucose testing. In some cases, hyperglycemia has
resolved when the atypical antipsychotic was discontinued; however, some patients required
continuation of anti-diabetic treatment despite discontinuation of the suspect drug.
Pooled data from the three placebo-controlled, 6-week, fixed-dose studies in adult subjects with
schizophrenia are presented in Table 1a.

Weight gain in adolescent subjects with schizophrenia was assessed in a 6-week, double-blind,
placebo-controlled study and an open-label extension with a median duration of exposure to
INVEGA® of 182 days. Data on mean changes in body weight and the proportion of subjects

INVEGA®, weight gain should be assessed against that expected with normal growth. When
taking into consideration the median duration of exposure to INVEGA® in the open-label study
(182 days) along with expected normal growth in this population based on age and gender, an
assessment of standardized scores relative to normative data provides a more clinically relevant
measure of changes in weight. The mean change from open-label baseline to endpoint in
standardized score for weight was 0.1 (4% above the median for normative data). Based on
comparison to the normative data, these changes are not considered to be clinically significant

5.7
Hyperprolactinemia
Like other drugs that antagonize dopamine D
receptors, paliperidone elevates prolactin levels
and the elevation persists during chronic administration. Paliperidone has a prolactin-elevating
effect similar to that seen with risperidone, a drug that is associated with higher levels of
prolactin than other antipsychotic drugs.
Hyperprolactinemia, regardless of etiology, may suppress hypothalamic GnRH, resulting in
reduced pituitary gonadotrophin secretion. This, in turn, may inhibit reproductive function by
impairing gonadal steroidogenesis in both female and male patients. Galactorrhea, amenorrhea,
gynecomastia,
impotence

been
reported
patients
receiving
prolactin-elevating
compounds. Long-standing hyperprolactinemia when associated with hypogonadism may lead to
decreased bone density in both female and male subjects.
Tissue culture experiments indicate that approximately one-third of human breast cancers are
prolactin dependent
in vitro
, a factor of potential importance if the prescription of these drugs is
considered in a patient with previously detected breast cancer. An increase in the incidence of
pituitary gland, mammary gland, and pancreatic islet cell neoplasia (mammary adenocarcinomas,
pituitary and pancreatic adenomas) was observed in the risperidone carcinogenicity studies
conducted in mice and rats
[see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)]

5.8
Potential for Gastrointestinal Obstruction
Because the INVEGA
tablet is non-deformable and does not appreciably change in shape in the
gastrointestinal tract, INVEGA
should ordinarily not be administered to patients with pre-
existing severe gastrointestinal narrowing (pathologic or iatrogenic, for example: esophageal
motility disorders, small bowel inflammatory disease, “short gut” syndrome due to adhesions or

changes in bioavailability are more likely when the changes in transit time occur in the upper GI
tract.
5.9
Orthostatic Hypotension and Syncope
Paliperidone can induce orthostatic hypotension and syncope in some patients because of its
alpha-blocking activity. In pooled results of the three placebo-controlled, 6-week, fixed-dose
trials in subjects with schizophrenia, syncope was reported in 0.8% (7/850) of subjects treated
with INVEGA
(3 mg, 6 mg, 9 mg, 12 mg) compared to 0.3% (1/355) of subjects treated with
placebo.

Patients
with
history
clinically significant low WBC or a drug-induced leukopenia/neutropenia should have their

discontinuation of INVEGA
should be considered at the first sign of a clinically significant
decline in WBC in the absence of other causative factors.
Patients with clinically significant neutropenia should be carefully monitored for fever or other
symptoms or signs of infection and treated promptly if such symptoms or signs occur. Patients
Invega PI Dec 2013 CL
with severe neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count <1000/mm
) should discontinue INVEGA
and have their WBC followed until recovery.
5.11 Potential for Cognitive and Motor Impairment
Somnolence was reported in subjects treated with INVEGA
[see Adverse Reactions (6.1, 6.2)]
Antipsychotics, including INVEGA
, have the potential to impair judgment, thinking, or motor
skills. Patients should be cautioned about performing activities requiring mental alertness, such
as operating hazardous machinery or operating a motor vehicle, until they are reasonably certain
that paliperidone therapy does not adversely affect them.
5.12 Seizures
During premarketing clinical trials in subjects with schizophrenia (the three placebo-controlled,
6-week, fixed-dose studies and a study conducted in elderly schizophrenic subjects), seizures
occurred in 0.22% of subjects treated with INVEGA
(3 mg, 6 mg, 9 mg, 12 mg) and 0.25% of
subjects
treated
with
placebo.
Like
other
antipsychotic
drugs,
INVEGA
should
used
cautiously in patients with a history of seizures or other conditions that potentially lower the
seizure threshold. Conditions that lower the seizure threshold may be more prevalent in patients
65 years or older.
5.13 Dysphagia
Esophageal

aspiration
have
been
associated
with
antipsychotic
drug
use.
Aspiration pneumonia is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with advanced
Alzheimer’s dementia. INVEGA
and other antipsychotic drugs should be used cautiously in
patients at risk for aspiration pneumonia.
5.14 Suicide
The possibility of suicide attempt is inherent in psychotic illnesses, and close supervision of
high-risk patients should accompany drug therapy. Prescriptions for INVEGA
should be written
for the smallest quantity of tablets consistent with good patient management in order to reduce
the risk of overdose.
5.15 Priapism
Drugs with alpha-adrenergic blocking effects have been reported to induce priapism. Priapism
has been reported with INVEGA
during postmarketing surveillance. Severe priapism may
require surgical intervention.
5.16 Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP)
No cases of TTP were observed during clinical studies with paliperidone. Although cases of
TTP have been reported in association with risperidone administration, the relationship to
risperidone therapy is unknown.

to patients who
will be experiencing conditions which may contribute to an elevation in core body temperature,
e.g., exercising strenuously, exposure to extreme heat, receiving concomitant medication with
anticholinergic activity, or being subject to dehydration.
5.18 Antiemetic Effect
An antiemetic effect was observed in preclinical studies with paliperidone. This effect, if it
occurs in humans, may mask the signs and symptoms of overdosage with certain drugs or of
conditions such as intestinal obstruction, Reye’s syndrome, and brain tumor.
5.19 Use in Patients with Concomitant Illness
Clinical experience with INVEGA
in patients with certain concomitant illnesses is limited
[see
Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]
Patients with Parkinson’s Disease or Dementia with Lewy Bodies are reported to have an
increased sensitivity to antipsychotic medication. Manifestations of this increased sensitivity
include
confusion,
obtundation,
postural
instability
with
frequent
falls,
extrapyramidal
symptoms, and clinical features consistent with the neuroleptic malignant syndrome.
INVEGA
has not been evaluated or used to any appreciable extent in patients with a recent
history of myocardial infarction or unstable heart disease. Patients with these diagnoses were
excluded from premarketing clinical trials. Because of the risk of orthostatic hypotension with
INVEGA
, caution should be observed in patients with known cardiovascular disease
[see
Warnings and Precautions (5.9)]
5.20 Monitoring: Laboratory Tests
No specific laboratory tests are recommended.
5.21 Venous thromboembolism
Cases of venous thromboembolism (VTE) have been reported with antipsychotic medicinal products.
Since patients treated with antipsychotics often present with acquired risk factors for VTE, all possible
risk factors for VTE should be identified before and during treatment with INVEGA and preventive
measures undertaken.
5.22 Lactose content (pertains only to the 3 mg tablets)
Patients with rare hereditary problems of galactose intolerance, the Lapp lactase deficiency or glucose-
galactose malabsorption should not take this medicine.
Invega PI Dec 2013 CL
5.23 Intraoperative Floppy Iris Syndrome
Intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS) has been observed during cataract surgery in patients
treated with medicines with alpha1a
adrenergic antagonist effect, such as INVEGA
IFIS may increase the risk of eye complications during and after the operation. Current or past
use of medicines with alpha1a
adrenergic antagonist effect should be made known to the
ophthalmic surgeon in advance of surgery. The potential benefit of stopping alpha1 blocking
therapy prior to cataract surgery has not been established and must be weighed against the risk of
stopping the antipsychotic therapy.

Invega PI Dec 2013 CL
The safety of INVEGA® was evaluated in 150 adolescent subjects 12-17 years of age with
schizophrenia who received INVEGA® in the dose range of 1.5 mg to 12 mg/day in a 6-week,
double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
The safety of INVEGA
was also evaluated in 622 adult subjects with schizoaffective disorder
who participated in two placebo-controlled, 6-week, double-blind trials. In one of these trials,
206 subjects were assigned to one of two dose levels of INVEGA
: 6 mg with the option to
reduce to 3 mg (n = 108) or 12 mg with the option to reduce to 9 mg (n = 98) once daily. In the
other study, 214 subjects received flexible doses of INVEGA
(3-12 mg once daily). Both
studies included subjects who received INVEGA
either as monotherapy or as an adjunct to
mood stabilizers and/or antidepressants. Adverse events during exposure to study treatment were
obtained by general inquiry and recorded by clinical investigators using their own terminology.
Consequently, to provide a meaningful estimate of the proportion of individuals experiencing
adverse events, events were grouped in standardized categories using MedDRA terminology.
Throughout this section, adverse reactions are reported. Adverse reactions are adverse events that
were considered to be reasonably associated with the use of INVEGA
(adverse drug reactions)
based on the comprehensive assessment of the available adverse event information. A causal
association for INVEGA
often cannot be reliably established in individual cases. Further,
because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates
observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials
of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice.

Discontinuations Due to Adverse Reactions
Schizophrenia Trials
The percentages of subjects who discontinued due to adverse reactions in the three schizophrenia
placebo-controlled, 6-week, fixed-dose studies in adults were 3% and 1% in INVEGA
- and
placebo-treated subjects, respectively. The most common reasons for discontinuation were
nervous system disorders (2% and 0% in INVEGA
- and placebo-treated subjects, respectively).
Among the adverse reactions in the 6-week, fixed-dose, placebo-controlled study in adolescents
with schizophrenia, only dystonia led to discontinuation (<1% of INVEGA®-treated subjects).
Schizoaffective Disorder Trials
The percentages of subjects who discontinued due to adverse reactions in the two schizoaffective
disorder placebo-controlled 6-week studies in adults were 1% and <1% in INVEGA
- and
placebo-treated subjects, respectively. The most common reasons for discontinuation were
gastrointestinal disorders (1% and 0% in INVEGA
- and placebo-treated subjects, respectively).
6.5
Dose-Related Adverse Reactions
Schizophrenia Trials
Based on the pooled data from the three placebo-controlled, 6-week, fixed-dose studies in adult
subjects with schizophrenia, among the adverse reactions that occurred with a greater than 2%
incidence in the subjects treated with INVEGA
, the incidences of the following adverse
reactions
increased
with
dose:
somnolence,
orthostatic
hypotension,
akathisia,
dystonia,
extrapyramidal disorder, hypertonia, parkinsonism, and salivary hypersecretion. For most of
these, the increased incidence was seen primarily at the 12 mg dose, and, in some cases, the 9 mg
dose.
in the 6-week, fixed-dose, placebo-controlled study in adolescents with schizophrenia, among the
adverse reactions that occurred with >2% incidence in the subjects treated with INVEGA®, the
Invega PI Dec 2013 CL
incidences
following
adverse
reactions
increased
with
dose:
tachycardia,
akathisia,
extrapyramidal symptoms, somnolence, and headache.
Schizoaffective Disorder Trials
In a placebo-controlled, 6-week, high- and low-dose study in subjects with schizoaffective
disorder,
akathisia,
dystonia,
dysarthria,
myalgia,
nasopharyngitis,
rhinitis,
cough,
pharyngolaryngeal pain occurred more frequently (i.e., a difference of at least 2%) in subjects
who received higher doses of INVEGA
compared with subjects who received lower doses.
6.6
Demographic Differences
An examination of population subgroups in the three placebo-controlled, 6-week, fixed-dose
studies in adult subjects with schizophrenia and in the two placebo-controlled, 6-week studies in
adult subjects with schizoaffective disorder did not reveal any evidence of clinically relevant
differences in safety on the basis of gender or race alone; there was also no difference on the
basis of age
[see Use in Specific Populations (8.5)]
6.7
Extrapyramidal Symptoms (EPS)
Pooled data from the three placebo-controlled, 6-week, fixed-dose studies in adult subjects with
schizophrenia provided information regarding treatment-emergent EPS. Several methods were
used to measure EPS: (1) the Simpson-Angus global score (mean change from baseline) which
broadly evaluates Parkinsonism, (2) the Barnes Akathisia Rating Scale global clinical rating
score
(mean
change
from
baseline)
which
evaluates
akathisia,
anticholinergic
medications to treat emergent EPS (
Table
7), and (4) incidence of spontaneous reports of EPS
Table
8). For the Simpson-Angus Scale, spontaneous EPS reports and use of anticholinergic
medications, there was a dose-related increase observed for the 9 mg and 12 mg doses. There
was no difference observed between placebo and INVEGA
3 mg and 6 mg doses for any of
these EPS measures.

Compared to data from the studies in adult subjects with schizophrenia, pooled data from the two
placebo-controlled 6-week studies in adult subjects with schizoaffective disorder showed similar
types and frequencies of EPS as measured by rating scales, anticholinergic medication use, and
spontaneous reports of EPS-related adverse events. For subjects with schizoaffective disorder,
there was no dose-related increase in EPS observed for parkinsonism with the Simpson-Angus
scale or akathisia with the Barnes Akathisia Rating Scale. There was a dose-related increase
observed with spontaneous EPS reports of hyperkinesia and dystonia and in the use of
anticholinergic medications.

The incidences of EPS-related adverse events in the adolescent schizophrenia studies
showed a similar dose-related pattern to those in the adult studies. There were notably
higher incidences of dystonia, hyperkinesia, tremor, and parkinsonism in the adolescent
population as compared to the adult studies (Table 10).
Dystonia
Class Effect:
Symptoms of dystonia, prolonged abnormal contractions of muscle groups, may
occur in susceptible individuals during the first few days of treatment. Dystonic symptoms
include: spasm of the neck muscles, sometimes progressing to tightness of the throat, swallowing
difficulty, difficulty breathing, and/or protrusion of the tongue. While these symptoms can occur
at low doses, they occur more frequently and with greater severity with high potency and at
Invega PI Dec 2013 CL
higher doses of first generation antipsychotic drugs. An elevated risk of acute dystonia is
observed in males and younger age groups.

DRUG INTERACTIONS
7.1 Potential for INVEGA
®
to Affect Other Drugs
Caution is advised when prescribing INVEGA with medicines known to prolong the QT
interval, e.g., class IA antiarrhythmics (e.g., quinidine, disopyramide) and class III
antiarrhythmics (e.g., amiodarone, sotalol), some antihistaminics, some other antipsychotics
and some antimalarials (e.g., mefloquine).
Given the primary CNS effects of paliperidone
[see Adverse Reactions (6.1, 6.2)]
, INVEGA
should be used with caution in combination with other centrally acting drugs
,
e.g., anxiolytics,
most antipsychotics, hypnotics, opiates, etc.
and alcohol. Paliperidone may antagonize the effect
of levodopa and other dopamine agonists.
If this combination is deemed necessary, particularly in end-stage Parkinson’s disease, the lowest
effective dose of each treatment should be prescribed.
Because of its potential for inducing orthostatic hypotension,
an additive effect may be observed
when INVEGA
is administered with other therapeutic agents that have this potential
e.g., other
antipsychotics, tricyclics.
[see Warnings and Precautions (5.9)]
Paliperidone is not expected to cause clinically important pharmacokinetic interactions with
drugs that are metabolized by cytochrome P450 isozymes.
In vitro
studies in human liver
microsomes showed that paliperidone does not substantially inhibit the metabolism of drugs
metabolized
cytochrome
P450
isozymes,
including
CYP1A2,
CYP2A6,
CYP2C8/9/10,
CYP2D6, CYP2E1, CYP3A4, and CYP3A5. Therefore, paliperidone is not expected to inhibit
clearance of drugs that are metabolized by these metabolic pathways in a clinically relevant
manner. Paliperidone is also not expected to have enzyme inducing properties.
Paliperidone is a weak inhibitor of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) at high concentrations. No
in vivo
data
are available and the clinical relevance is unknown.
Caution is advised if paliperidone is combined with other medicines known to lower the seizure threshold
(i.e., phenothiazines or butyrophenones, clozapine, tricyclics or SSRIs, tramadol, mefloquine, etc.).
Pharmacokinetic interaction between lithium and INVEGA
is unlikely.
In a drug interaction study, co-administration of INVEGA® (12 mg once daily for 5 days) with
divalproex sodium extended-release tablets (500 mg to 2000 mg once daily) did not affect the
steady-state pharmacokinetics (AUC
and Cmax,ss) of valproate in 13 patients stabilized on
valproate. In a clinical study, subjects on stable doses of valproate had comparable valproate
average plasma concentrations when INVEGA® 3-15 mg/day was added to their existing
valproate treatment.
Invega PI Dec 2013 CL
7.2
Potential for Other Drugs to Affect INVEGA
®
Paliperidone is not a substrate of CYP1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2C9 and CYP2C19, so
that an interaction with inhibitors or inducers of these isozymes is unlikely. While
in vitro studies indicate that CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 may be minimally involved in
paliperidone metabolism, in vivo studies do not show decreased elimination by
these isozymes and they contribute to only a small fraction of total body
clearance. In vitro studies have shown that paliperidone is a P-gp substrate.
Co-administration of INVEGA
6 mg once daily with carbamazepine 200 mg twice daily caused
a decrease of approximately 37% in the mean steady-state C
and AUC of paliperidone. This
decrease is caused, to a substantial degree, by a 35% increase in renal clearance of paliperidone.
A minor decrease in the amount of drug excreted unchanged in the urine suggests that there was
little effect on the CYP metabolism or bioavailability of paliperidone during carbamazepine
co-administration. On initiation of carbamazepine, the dose of INVEGA
should be re-evaluated
and increased if necessary. Conversely, on discontinuation of carbamazepine, the dose of
INVEGA
should be re-evaluated and decreased if necessary.
Paliperidone is metabolized to a limited extent by CYP2D6
[see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]
In an interaction study in healthy subjects in which a single 3 mg dose of INVEGA
administered concomitantly with 20 mg per day of paroxetine (a potent CYP2D6 inhibitor),
paliperidone exposures were on average 16% (90% CI: 4, 30) higher in CYP2D6 extensive
metabolizers. Higher doses of paroxetine have not been studied. The clinical relevance is
unknown.
Co-administration of a single dose of INVEGA
12 mg with divalproex sodium extended-release
tablets (two 500 mg tablets once daily) resulted in an increase of approximately 50% in the C
paliperidone.
Dosage
reduction
INVEGA
should
considered
when
INVEGA
is co-administered with valproate after clinical assessment.
Pharmacokinetic interaction between lithium and INVEGA
is unlikely.
Medicinal products affecting gastrointestinal transit time may affect the absorption of paliperidone, e.g.,
metoclopramide.
Concomitant use of INVEGA with risperidone
Concomitant use of INVEGA with oral risperidone is not recommended as paliperidone is the active
metabolite of risperidone and the combination of the two may lead to additive paliperidone exposure.

USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
8.1
Pregnancy
Pregnancy Category C.
There are no adequate and well controlled studies of INVEGA
in pregnant women.
Use of first generation antipsychotic drugs during the last trimester of pregnancy has been
associated with extrapyramidal symptoms in the neonate. These symptoms are usually self-
limited. It is not known whether paliperidone, when taken near the end of pregnancy, will lead to
similar neonatal signs and symptoms.
In animal reproduction studies, there were no increases in fetal abnormalities when pregnant rats
and rabbits were treated during the period of organogenesis with up to 8 times the maximum
recommended human dose of paliperidone (on a mg/m
basis).
In rat reproduction studies with risperidone, which is extensively converted to paliperidone in
rats and humans, there were increases in pup deaths seen at oral doses which are less than the
maximum recommended human dose of risperidone on a mg/m
basis (see risperidone package
insert).
Non-teratogenic Effects
Neonates exposed to antipsychotic drugs during the third trimester of pregnancy are at risk for
extrapyramidal and/or withdrawal symptoms following delivery. There have been reports of
agitation, hypertonia, hypotonia, tremor, somnolence, respiratory distress, and feeding disorder
in these neonates. These complications have varied in severity; while in some cases symptoms
have been self-limited, in other cases neonates have required intensive care unit support and
prolonged hospitalization.
INVEGA® should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential
risk to the fetus.
8.3 Nursing Mothers
Paliperidone is excreted in human breast milk. The known benefits of breastfeeding should be
weighed against the unknown risks of infant exposure to paliperidone.
Invega PI Dec 2013 CL
8.4
Pediatric Use
Safety and effectiveness of INVEGA® in the treatment of schizophrenia were evaluated in 150
adolescent subjects 12-17 years of age with schizophrenia who received INVEGA® in the dose
range of 1.5 mg to 12 mg/day in a 6-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
Safety and effectiveness of INVEGA® for the treatment of schizophrenia in patients < 12 years
of age have not been established. Safety and effectiveness of INVEGA® for the treatment of
schizoaffective disorder in patients < 18 years of age have not been studied.
In a study in which juvenile rats were treated with oral paliperidone from days 24 to 73 of age, a
reversible impairment of performance in a test of learning and memory was seen, in females
only, with a no-effect dose of 0.63 mg/kg/day, which produced plasma levels (AUC) of
paliperidone similar to those in adolescents. No other consistent effects on neurobehavioral or
reproductive development were seen up to the highest dose tested (2.5 mg/kg/day), which
produced plasma levels of paliperidone 2-3 times those in adolescents.
Juvenile dogs were treated for 40 weeks with oral risperidone, which is extensively metabolized
to paliperidone in animals and humans, at doses of 0.31, 1.25, or 5 mg/kg/day. Decreased bone
length and density were seen with a no-effect dose of 0.31 mg/kg/day, which produced plasma
levels (AUC) of risperidone plus paliperidone which were similar to those in children and
adolescents receiving the maximum recommended human dose of risperidone. In addition, a
delay in sexual maturation was seen at all doses in both males and females. The above effects
showed little or no reversibility in females after a 12-week drug-free recovery period.
The long-term effects of INVEGA® on growth and sexual maturation have not been fully
evaluated in children and adolescents.

of whom 21 were 75 years of age and older). In this study, subjects received flexible doses of
INVEGA
(3 mg to 12 mg once daily). In addition, a small number of subjects 65 years of age
and older were included in the 6-week placebo-controlled studies in which adult schizophrenic
subjects received fixed doses of INVEGA
(3 mg to 15 mg once daily)
[see Clinical Studies

. There were no subjects ≥ 65 years of age in the schizoaffective disorder studies.
Overall, of the total number of subjects in schizophrenia clinical studies of INVEGA
(n =
1796), including those who received INVEGA
or placebo, 125 (7.0%) were 65 years of age and
older and 22 (1.2%) were 75 years of age and older. No overall differences in safety or
effectiveness were observed between these subjects and younger subjects, and other reported
Invega PI Dec 2013 CL

DRUG ABUSE AND DEPENDENCE
9.1
Controlled Substance
INVEGA
(paliperidone) is not a controlled substance.
9.2
Abuse
Paliperidone
has not been systematically studied in animals or humans for its potential for abuse.
It is not possible to predict the extent to which a CNS-active drug will be misused, diverted,
and/or abused once marketed. Consequently, patients should be evaluated carefully for a history
of drug abuse, and such patients should be observed closely for signs of INVEGA
misuse or
abuse (e.g., development of tolerance, increases in dose, drug-seeking behavior).
9.3
Dependence
Paliperidone has not been systematically studied in animals or humans for its potential for
tolerance or physical dependence.
10
OVERDOSAGE
10.1 Human Experience
While experience with paliperidone overdose is limited, among the few cases of overdose
reported in pre-marketing trials, the highest estimated ingestion of INVEGA
was 405 mg.
Observed signs and symptoms included extrapyramidal symptoms and gait unsteadiness. Other
potential signs and symptoms include those resulting from an exaggeration of paliperidone’s
known pharmacological effects, i.e., drowsiness and somnolence, tachycardia and hypotension,
and QT prolongation. Torsade de pointes and ventricular fibrillation have been reported in a
Invega PI Dec 2013 CL
patient in the setting of overdose.
Paliperidone is the major active metabolite of risperidone. Overdose experience reported with
risperidone can be found in the OVERDOSAGE section of the risperidone package insert.
10.2 Management of Overdosage
There is no specific antidote to paliperidone, therefore, appropriate supportive measures should
be instituted and close medical supervision and monitoring should continue until the patient
recovers. Consideration should be given to the extended-release nature of the product when
assessing treatment needs and recovery. Multiple drug involvement should also be considered.
In case of acute overdose, establish and maintain an airway and ensure adequate oxygenation and
ventilation. Gastric lavage (after intubation if patient is unconscious) and administration of
activated charcoal together with a laxative should be considered.
The possibility of obtundation, seizures, or dystonic reaction of the head and neck following
overdose may create a risk of aspiration with induced emesis.
Cardiovascular

antiarrhythmic
therapy
administered, disopyramide, procainamide, and quinidine carry a theoretical hazard of additive
QT-prolonging effects when administered in patients with an acute overdose of paliperidone.
Similarly the alpha-blocking properties of bretylium might be additive to those of paliperidone,
resulting in problematic hypotension.
Hypotension and circulatory collapse should be treated with appropriate measures, such as
intravenous fluids and/or sympathomimetic agents (epinephrine and dopamine should not be
used, since beta stimulation may worsen hypotension in the setting of paliperidone-induced alpha
blockade). In cases of severe extrapyramidal symptoms, anticholinergic medication should be
administered.

DESCRIPTION
Paliperidone, the active ingredient in INVEGA
Extended-Release Tablets, is a psychotropic
agent belonging to the chemical class of benzisoxazole derivatives. INVEGA
contains a
racemic mixture of (+)- and (-)- paliperidone. The chemical name is (
)-3-[2-[4-(6-fluoro-1,2-
benzisoxazol-3-yl)-1-piperidinyl]ethyl]-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-9-hydroxy-2-methyl-4H-
pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one. Its molecular formula is C
and its molecular weight is
426.49. The structural formula is:
Paliperidone is sparingly soluble in 0.1N HCl and methylene chloride; practically insoluble in
water, 0.1N NaOH, and hexane; and slightly soluble in N,N-dimethylformamide.
INVEGA
(paliperidone) Extended-Release Tablets are available in 3 mg (white), 6 mg (beige),
and 9 mg (pink) strengths. INVEGA
utilizes OROS
osmotic drug-release technology
[see
Description (11.1)]
Inactive ingredients are carnauba wax, cellulose acetate, hydroxyethyl cellulose, propylene
glycol,
polyethylene

stearic
acid,
butylated hydroxytoluene, hypromellose, titanium dioxide, and iron oxides. The 3 mg tablets also
contain lactose monohydrate and triacetin.
11.1 Delivery System Components and Performance
INVEGA
uses osmotic pressure to deliver paliperidone at a controlled rate. The delivery
system, which resembles a capsule-shaped tablet in appearance, consists of an osmotically active
trilayer core surrounded by a subcoat and semipermeable membrane. The trilayer core is
composed of two drug layers containing the drug and excipients, and a push layer containing
osmotically active components. There are two precision laser-drilled orifices on the drug-layer
dome of the tablet. Each tablet strength has a different colored water-dispersible overcoat and
markings.

The biologically inert components of the tablet remain intact during gastrointestinal transit and

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1 Mechanism of Action
Paliperidone
major
active
metabolite
risperidone.
mechanism
action
paliperidone, as with other drugs having efficacy in schizophrenia, is unknown, but it has been
proposed that the drug's therapeutic activity in schizophrenia is mediated through a combination
of central dopamine Type 2 (D
) and serotonin Type 2 (5HT
) receptor antagonism.
12.2 Pharmacodynamics
Paliperidone is a centrally active dopamine Type 2 (D
) antagonist and with predominant
serotonin Type 2 (5HT
) activity. Paliperidone is also active as an antagonist at
adrenergic receptors and H
histaminergic receptors, which may explain some of the other effects
of the drug. Paliperidone has no affinity for cholinergic muscarinic or
- and
-adrenergic
receptors.

12.3 Pharmacokinetics
Following a single dose, the plasma concentrations of paliperidone gradually rise to reach peak
plasma concentration (C
) approximately 24 hours after dosing. The pharmacokinetics of
paliperidone following INVEGA
administration are dose-proportional within the available dose
range. The terminal elimination half-life of paliperidone is approximately 23 hours.

Following administration of INVEGA
, the (+) and (-) enantiomers of paliperidone interconvert,
reaching an AUC (+) to (-) ratio of approximately 1.6 at steady state.
Absorption and Distribution
The absolute oral bioavailability of paliperidone following INVEGA
administration is 28%.
Administration of a 12 mg paliperidone extended-release tablet to healthy ambulatory subjects
with a standard high-fat/high-caloric meal gave mean C
and AUC values of paliperidone that
were increased by 60% and 54%, respectively, compared with administration under fasting
conditions. Clinical trials establishing the safety and efficacy of INVEGA
were carried out in
subjects without regard to the timing of meals. While INVEGA
can be taken without regard to
food, the presence of food at the time of INVEGA
administration may increase exposure to
paliperidone
[see Dosage and Administration (2.3)]
Invega PI Dec 2013 CL
Based on a population analysis, the apparent volume of distribution of paliperidone is 487 L. The
plasma protein binding of racemic paliperidone is 74%.
Metabolism and Elimination
Although
in vitro
studies suggested a role for CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 in the metabolism of
paliperidone,
in vivo
results indicate that these isozymes play a limited role in the overall
elimination of paliperidone

Special Populations
Renal Impairment
The dose of INVEGA
should be reduced in patients with moderate or severe renal impairment
[see Dosage and Administration (2.5)]
. The disposition of a single dose paliperidone 3 mg
extended-release tablet was studied in adult subjects with varying degrees of renal function.
Elimination of paliperidone decreased with decreasing estimated creatinine clearance. Total
clearance of paliperidone was reduced in subjects with impaired renal function by 32% on
average in mild (CrCl = 50 mL/min to < 80 mL/min), 64% in moderate (CrCl = 30 mL/min to
< 50 mL/min), and 71% in severe (CrCl = 10 mL/min to < 30 mL/min) renal impairment,

paliperidone was 24 hours, 40 hours, and 51 hours in subjects with mild, moderate, and severe

(CrCl ≥ 80 mL/min).
Hepatic Impairment
In a study in adult subjects with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class B), the plasma
concentrations of free paliperidone were similar to those of healthy subjects, although total
paliperidone exposure decreased because of a decrease in protein binding. Consequently, no dose
Invega PI Dec 2013 CL

has not
been studied in patients with severe hepatic impairment.
Adolescents (12-17 years of age)
Paliperidone systemic exposure in adolescents weighing ≥ 51 kg (≥ 112 lbs) was similar to that
in adults. In adolescents weighing < 51 kg (< 112 lbs), a 23% higher exposure was observed; this
is considered not to be clinically significant. Age did not influence the paliperidone exposure.
Elderly
No dosage adjustment is recommended based on age alone. However, dose adjustment may be
required because of age-related decreases in creatinine clearance
[see Renal Impairment above
and Dosage and Administration (2.1, 2.5)]
Race
No dosage adjustment is recommended based on race. No differences in pharmacokinetics were
observed in a pharmacokinetic study conducted in Japanese and Caucasians.
Gender
No dosage adjustment is recommended based on gender. No differences in pharmacokinetics
were observed in a pharmacokinetic study conducted in men and women.
Smoking
No dosage adjustment is recommended based on smoking status. Based on in vitro studies
utilizing human liver enzymes, paliperidone is not a substrate for CYP1A2; smoking should,
therefore, not have an effect on the pharmacokinetics of paliperidone.

NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY
13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility
Carcinogenesis
Carcinogenicity studies of paliperidone have not been performed.
Carcinogenicity studies of risperidone, which is extensively converted to paliperidone in rats,
mice, and humans, were conducted in Swiss albino mice and Wistar rats. Risperidone was
administered in the diet at daily doses of 0.63 mg/kg, 2.5 mg/kg, and 10 mg/kg for 18 months to
mice and for 25 months to rats. A maximum tolerated dose was not achieved in male mice. There

[see Warnings and Precautions (5.7)]
Mutagenesis
No evidence of genotoxic potential for paliperidone was found in the Ames reverse mutation
test, the mouse lymphoma assay, or the
in vivo
rat micronucleus test.
Impairment of Fertility
In a study of fertility, the percentage of treated female rats that became pregnant was not affected
at oral doses of paliperidone of up to 2.5 mg/kg/day. However, pre- and post-implantation loss
was increased, and the number of live embryos was slightly decreased, at 2.5 mg/kg, a dose that
also caused slight maternal toxicity. These parameters were not affected at a dose of 0.63 mg/kg,
which is half of the maximum recommended human dose on a mg/m
basis.
The fertility of male rats was not affected at oral doses of paliperidone of up to 2.5 mg/kg/day,
although sperm count and sperm viability studies were not conducted with paliperidone. In a
subchronic study in Beagle dogs with risperidone, which is extensively converted to paliperidone
in dogs and humans, all doses tested (0.31 mg/kg - 5.0 mg/kg) resulted in decreases in serum
testosterone and in sperm motility and concentration. Serum testosterone and sperm parameters
partially recovered, but remained decreased after the last observation (two months after treatment
was discontinued).

CLINICAL STUDIES
14.1 Schizophrenia
Adults
The acute efficacy of INVEGA
(3 mg to 15 mg once daily) was established in three placebo-
controlled and active-controlled (olanzapine), 6-week, fixed-dose trials in non-elderly adult
subjects (mean age of 37) who met DSM-IV criteria for schizophrenia. Studies were carried out
in North America, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, and Asia. The doses studied among these
three trials included 3 mg/day, 6 mg/day, 9 mg/day, 12 mg/day, and 15 mg/day. Dosing was in
the morning without regard to meals.

patients were randomized in a double-blind manner to either continue on INVEGA
at their

weighing between 29 kg and less than 51 kg at the baseline visit were randomly assigned to
receive placebo or 1.5 mg (Low dose), 3 mg (Medium dose), or 6 mg (High dose) of INVEGA®

subjects weighing 51 kg or greater. Although paliperidone was adequately tolerated within the
dose range of 3 to 12 mg/day, adverse events were dose related.
14.2 Schizoaffective Disorder
Adults
The acute efficacy of INVEGA
(3 mg to 12 mg once daily) in the treatment of schizoaffective
disorder was established in two placebo-controlled, 6-week trials in non-elderly adult subjects.
Enrolled subjects 1) met DSM-IV criteria for schizoaffective disorder, as confirmed by the
Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Disorders, 2) had a Positive and Negative Syndrome
Scale (PANSS) total score of at least 60, and 3) had prominent mood symptoms as confirmed by
a score of at least 16 on the Young Mania Rating Scale and/or Hamilton Rating Scale for
Depression. The population included subjects with schizoaffective bipolar and depressive types.
In one of these trials, efficacy was assessed in 211 subjects who received flexible doses of
INVEGA
(3-12 mg once daily). In the other study, efficacy was assessed in 203 subjects who
were assigned to one of two dose levels of INVEGA
: 6 mg with the option to reduce to 3 mg (n
= 105) or 12 mg with the option to reduce to 9 mg (n = 98) once daily. Both studies included

and/or
antidepressants (55%)] or as an adjunct to mood stabilizers and/or antidepressants (45%). The
most commonly used mood stabilizers were valproate and lithium. The most commonly used
antidepressants were SSRIs and SNRIs. INVEGA
was dosed in the morning without regard to
meals. Studies were carried out in the United States, Eastern Europe, Russia, and Asia.
Efficacy was evaluated using the PANSS, a validated multi-item inventory composed of five
factors to evaluate positive symptoms, negative symptoms, disorganized thoughts, uncontrolled
hostility/excitement, and anxiety/depression. As secondary outcomes, mood symptoms were
evaluated using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D-21) and the Young Mania
Rating Scale (YMRS).
The INVEGA
group in the flexible-dose study (dosed between 3 and 12 mg/day, mean modal
dose of 8.6 mg/day) and the higher dose group of INVEGA
in the 2 dose-level study (12
mg/day with option to reduce to 9 mg/day) were each superior to placebo in the PANSS.
Invega PI Dec 2013 CL
Numerical improvements in mood symptoms were also observed, as measured by the HAM-D-
21 and YMRS. In the lower dose group of the 2 dose-level study (6 mg/day with option to reduce
to 3 mg/day), INVEGA
was not significantly different from placebo as measured by the
PANSS.
Taking the results of both studies together, INVEGA
improved the symptoms of schizoaffective
disorder at endpoint relative to placebo when administered either as monotherapy or as an
adjunct to mood stabilizers and/or antidepressants. An examination of population subgroups did
not reveal any evidence of differential responsiveness on the basis of gender, age, or geographic
region. There were insufficient data to explore differential effects based on race.

Metabolic Changes
Hyperglycemia, in some cases extreme and
associated with ketoacidosis or hyperosmolar coma
or death, has been reported in patients treated with all
atypical antipsychotics
Atypical antipsychotic drugs have been associated with
metabolic changes that may increase
cardiovascular/cerebrovascular risk. These metabolic
changes include hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, and body
weight gain. While all of the drugs in the class have been
shown to produce some metabolic changes, each drug has its
own specific risk profile.
Hyperglycemia and Diabetes Mellitus
Hyperglycemia and diabetes mellitus, in some cases extreme
and associated with ketoacidosis or hyperosmolar coma or
death, has been reported in patients treated with all atypical
antipsychotics

Schizoaffective Disorder Trials
In the pooled data from the two placebo-controlled, 6-
week studies in adult subjects with schizoaffective
disorder, a higher percentage of INVEGA®-treated
subjects (5%) had an increase in body weight of ≥7%
compared with placebo-treated subjects (1%). In the
study that examined high- and low-dose groups, the
increase in body weight of ≥ 7% was 3% in the low-
dose group, 7% in the high-dose group, and 1% in the
placebo group

Monitoring:
Laboratory Tests
No specific laboratory tests are recommended
No specific laboratory tests are recommended
Venous thromboembolism
Cases of venous thromboembolism (VTE) have been reported with
antipsychotic medicinal products. Since patients treated with
antipsychotics often present with acquired risk factors for VTE, all
possible risk factors for VTE should be identified before and during
treatment with INVEGA and preventive measures undertaken
Lactose content
(pertains only to the 3 mg tablets)
Patients with rare hereditary problems of galactose intolerance, the
Lapp lactase deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption should
not take this medicine
Intraoperative Floppy Iris Syndrome
Intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS) has been observed
during cataract surgery in patients treated with medicines with
alpha1a
adrenergic antagonist effect, including TRADENAME (see
Section 4.8)
IFIS may increase the risk of eye complications during and after the
operation. Current or past use of medicines with alpha1a
adrenergic
antagonist effect should be made known to the ophthalmic surgeon
in advance of surgery. The potential benefit of stopping alpha1
blocking therapy prior to cataract surgery has not been established
and must be weighed against the risk of stopping the antipsychotic
therapy

Drug Interactions
Potential for INVEGA
®
to Affect
Other Drugs
Given the primary CNS effects of paliperidone [see
Adverse Reactions (6.1, 6.2)], INVEGA
should be
used with caution in combination with other centrally
acting drugs
,
and alcohol.
Paliperidone may
antagonize
effect
levodopa
other
dopamine agonists
Because of its potential for inducing orthostatic
hypotension,
an additive effect may be observed
when INVEGA
is administered with other
therapeutic agents that have this potential [see
Warnings and Precautions (5.9)].
Paliperidone is not expected to cause clinically
important pharmacokinetic interactions with drugs
that are metabolized by cytochrome P450 isozymes.
In vitro studies in human liver microsomes showed
that paliperidone does not substantially inhibit the
metabolism of drugs metabolized by cytochrome
P450
isozymes,
including
CYP1A2,
CYP2A6,
CYP2C8/9/10, CYP2D6, CYP2E1, CYP3A4, and
CYP3A5. Therefore, paliperidone is not expected to
inhibit clearance of drugs that are metabolized by
these
metabolic pathways in a clinically relevant
manner. Paliperidone is also not expected to
have enzyme inducing properties
Paliperidone is a weak inhibitor of P-
glycoprotein (P-gp) at high concentrations. No
Potential for INVEGA
®
to Affect Other
Drugs
Caution is advised when prescribing INVEGA with
medicines known to prolong the QT interval, e.g.,
class IA antiarrhythmics (e.g., quinidine,
disopyramide) and class III antiarrhythmics (e.g.,
amiodarone, sotalol), some antihistaminics, some
other antipsychotics and some antimalarials (e.g.,
mefloquine).
Given the primary CNS effects of paliperidone [see
Adverse Reactions (6.1, 6.2)], INVEGA
should be used
with caution in combination with other centrally acting
drugs , e.g., anxiolytics, most antipsychotics, hypnotics,
opiates, etc. and alcohol. Paliperidone may antagonize
the effect of levodopa and other dopamine agonists
If this combination is deemed necessary, particularly in end-
stage Parkinson’s disease, the lowest effective dose of each
treatment should be prescribed.
Because of its potential for inducing orthostatic hypotension,
an additive effect may be observed when INVEGA
administered with other therapeutic agents that have this
potential e.g., other antipsychotics, tricyclics. [see Warnings
and Precautions (5.9)].

risperidone plus paliperidone which were similar to
those
children
adolescents
receiving
maximum recommended human dose of risperidone. In
addition, a delay in sexual maturation was seen at all
doses in both males and females. The above effects
showed little or no reversibility in females after a 12-
week drug-free recovery period
The long-term effects of INVEGA® on growth and
sexual maturation have not been fully evaluated in
children and adolescents

Adolescents (12-17 years of age)
Paliperidone systemic exposure in adolescents weighing
≥ 51 kg (≥ 112 lbs) was similar to that in adults. In
adolescents weighing < 51 kg (< 112 lbs), a 23% higher
exposure was observed; this is considered not to be
clinically significant.
Age did not influence the
paliperidone exposure

Schizophrenia
Adults
The acute efficacy of INVEGA
(3 mg to 15 mg once
daily) was established in three placebo-controlled and
active-controlled (olanzapine)
Adolescents
The efficacy of INVEGA® in adolescent subjects with
schizophrenia was established in a randomized, double-
blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled, 6-week study
using a fixed-dose weight-based treatment group design
over the dose range of 1.5 to 12 mg/day. The study was
carried out in the US, India, Romania, Russia, and
Ukraine, and involved subjects 12-17 years of age
meeting DSM-IV criteria for schizophrenia,
with
diagnosis confirmation using the Kiddie Schedule for
Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia-Present and
Lifetime Version (K-SADSPL)
Eligible subjects were randomly assigned to 1 of 4
treatment groups: a placebo group or INVEGA® Low,
Medium, or High dose groups. Doses were administered
based on body weight to minimize the risk of exposing
lower-weight adolescents to high doses of INVEGA®.
Subjects weighing between 29 kg and less than 51 kg at
the baseline visit were randomly assigned to receive

placebo or 1.5 mg (Low dose), 3 mg (Medium dose), or
6 mg (High dose) of INVEGA® daily, and subjects
weighing at least 51 kg at the baseline visit were
randomly assigned to receive placebo or 1.5 mg (Low
dose), 6 mg (Medium dose), or 12 mg (High dose) of
INVEGA® daily. Dosing was in the morning without
regard to meals
Efficacy was evaluated using PANSS. Overall, this
study demonstrated the efficacy of INVEGA® in
adolescents with schizophrenia in the dose range of 3 to
12 mg/day. Doses within this broad range were shown
effective,
however,
there
clear
enhancement to efficacy at the higher doses, i.e., 6 mg
for subjects weighing less than 51 kg and 12 mg for
subjects weighing 51 kg or greater.
Although
paliperidone was adequately tolerated within the dose
range of 3 to 12 mg/day, adverse events were dose
related
