Neuropsychiatr Dis Treat 2023; 19:2295-2308. [PMID: 37908559 PMCID: PMC10615109 DOI: 10.2147/ndt.s426481] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2023] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 11/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose This meta-analysis intended to evaluate the safety and metabolic effects of the combination of olanzapine (OLZ) and samidorphan (SAM) in the treatment of schizophrenia (SCZ) patients. Patients and Methods We searched for the English and Chinese databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the OLZ combined with SAM for SCZ. The English databases included PubMed, Web of Science, EMbase, and Cochrane Library, however, Chinese databases included Chinese Biology Medicine (CBM), VIP, Wanfang, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI). All database searches were due by May 31, 2023. Using Review Manager 5.4 software, a meta-analysis was conducted following a literature review and data extraction. Results This study included five RCTs involving 1781 patients. Regarding safety, the meta-analysis revealed that the probability of weight gain was reduced in the OLZ and SAM group than in the OLZ group (RR = 0.83, 95% CI (0.69, 0.99), P < 0.05). Statistically, the incidence of severe adverse safety events, dry mouth, headache, drowsiness, death, and suicidal perception events was insignificant (P > 0.05); in terms of metabolism, compared with the OLZ group, the OLZ plus SAM group reduced total cholesterol (TC) levels (MD = -3.58, 95% CI (-6.81, -0.34), P < 0.05). However, it had no significant effect on metabolic indices, including low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), triglycerides, glucose, and insulin index (P > 0.05). Conclusion In patients with SCZ, treatment with the combination of OLZ and SAM decreased the incidence of weight gain adverse events and TC levels; nevertheless, it did not affect other adverse events or metabolic parameters. These findings provide clinicians with evidence-based guidance and support for drug selection. However, it is crucial to confirm these findings through further high-quality research.

Abstract
Advances have been made in recent years in using opioid receptor antagonists as an adjunct therapy to psychotropic medication to reduce debilitating weight gain and metabolic adverse effects associated with in particular second generation antipsychotics. However, it is unknown whether second generation antipsychotics produce a change in opioid receptor expression in the brain. The present study investigated early changes in opioid receptor expression in the female rat hypothalamus, a master controller of hunger and metabolic regulation, after acute treatment with olanzapine, a commonly used second generation antipsychotic. Using quantitative spatial in situ hybridization and receptor autoradiography, expression levels of the three opioid receptors; kappa, mu and delta, were determined at mRNA and protein level, respectively, in the five hypothalamic areas: paraventricular nucleus, arcuate nucleus, ventromedial nucleus, dorsomedial nucleus and lateral hypothalamus. After 48 h of olanzapine treatment at clinically relevant plasma concentration weight gain and food intake changes, and increased plasma glucose were observed in female rats. Olanzapine treatment also led to a significant increase in mu opioid receptor availability in the arcuate nucleus, which contains both satiety and hunger controlling neurons. No other areas showed any opioid receptor expressional changes with olanzapine treatment on neither at mRNA nor protein level. Technical difficulties made it impossible to analyze mRNA levels in the lateral hypothalamus and overall binding of delta opioid receptors. Thus, the present study provided insights in to how olanzapine at clinically relevant plasma levels already at an early stage modulated the opioid system in the hypothalamus.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND HYPOTHESES Weight gain and adverse cardiometabolic effects often limit the clinical utility of olanzapine. In ENLIGHTEN-2, combining olanzapine with the opioid receptor antagonist samidorphan (OLZ/SAM) mitigated olanzapine-associated weight gain. These analyses tested the hypothesis that OLZ/SAM would be associated with reduced adverse cardiometabolic effects compared with olanzapine. STUDY DESIGN This phase 3 double-blind study randomized adults with schizophrenia to OLZ/SAM or olanzapine for 24 weeks. Post hoc analyses assessed changes from baseline to week 24 in cardiometabolic risk parameters, including body mass index (BMI), risk of developing obesity (BMI ≥30 kg/m2) or metabolic syndrome, waist circumference, along with mean and potentially clinically significant changes in blood pressure, glucose, and lipids. RESULTS After 24 weeks' treatment, compared with olanzapine, OLZ/SAM was associated with smaller least-squares mean (LSM) changes from baseline in systolic blood pressure (LSM difference, -2.63 mm Hg; 95% CI: -4.78, -0.47), diastolic blood pressure (LSM difference, -0.75 mm Hg; 95% CI: -2.31, 0.80), and BMI (LSM difference, -0.65 kg/m2; 95% CI: -1.01, -0.28). OLZ/SAM treatment was also associated with reduced risk of shifting from normal blood pressure to stage 1/2 hypertension (odds ratio [OR], 0.48; 95% CI: 0.24, 0.96), becoming obese (OR, 0.52; 95% CI: 0.32, 0.82), and developing metabolic syndrome (OR, 0.55; 95% CI: 0.31, 0.99) compared with olanzapine. No treatment group differences were noted for risk of hyperglycemia or hyperlipidemia. CONCLUSIONS OLZ/SAM treatment was associated with lower risk of worsening cardiometabolic risk factors related to obesity, hypertension, and metabolic syndrome relative to olanzapine.

Abstract
The obesity pandemic is one of society’s most urgent public health concerns. One-third of the global adult population may fall under obese or overweight by 2025, suggesting a rising demand for medical care and an exorbitant cost of healthcare expenditure in the coming years. Generally, the treatment strategy for obese patients is largely patient-centric and needs dietary, behavioral, pharmacological, and sometimes even surgical interventions. Given that obesity cases are rising in adults and children and lifestyle modifications have failed to produce the desired results, the need for medical therapy adjunct to lifestyle modifications is vital for better managing obesity. Most existing or past drugs for obesity treatment target satiety or monoamine pathways and induce a feeling of fullness in patients, while drugs such as orlistat are targeted against intestinal lipases. However, many medications targeted against neurotransmitters showed adverse events in patients, thus being withdrawn from the market. Alternatively, the combination of some drugs has been successfully tested in obesity management. However, the demand for novel, safer, and more efficacious pharmaceutical medicines for weight management does exist. The present review elucidates the current understanding of the available anti-obesity medicines of synthetic and natural origin, their main mechanisms of action, and the shortcomings associated with current weight management drugs.

Abstract
Detailed quantification of brain tissue provides a deeper understanding of changes in expression and function. We have created a pipeline to study the detailed expression patterns of the kappa opioid receptor in the rat hypothalamus using high resolution fluorescence microscopy and receptor autoradiography. The workflow involved structured serial sampling of rat hypothalamic nuclei, in situ detection of mRNA and receptor expression, and advanced image analysis. Our results demonstrate how maintaining spatial information can lead to increased understanding of RNA and protein expression. In addition, we show the detailed expression patterns of the kappa opioid receptor in the rat hypothalamus.

Abstract
Introduction Olanzapine (OLZ) is a second generation antipsychotic that is approved for the treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder type 1 as monotherapy (acute manic or mixed episodes, maintenance), or as an add-on to lithium or valproate (manic or mixed episodes). It is one of the most effective antipsychotics for the treatment of schizophrenia, but concerns remain due to its significant metabolic adverse effects. Notably, OLZ has one of the highest rates of weight gain among all antipsychotic drugs. Previous studies report on potential mitigation of weight gain with opioid antagonists. A systematic review was conducted to summarize the impact of these agents on weight and BMI when used as adjuncts to OLZ. Methods A systematic review of randomized controlled trials was conducted with 3 searches between March 2, 2021 and March 27, 2022. Results Six studies met inclusion criteria, 5 of which assessed OLZ and samidorphan (SAM) and 1 of which assessed OLZ and naltrexone compared with OLZ monotherapy. A total of 1752 patients were included with 952 receiving SAM and 14 receiving naltrexone as an adjunct to OLZ. SAM was shown to mitigate OLZ-induced weight gain by 1.0 kg. Only 1 study assessed naltrexone with no statistically significant results for weight gain. Discussion SAM is effective at reducing OLZ-induced weight gain. Naltrexone did not reduce OLZ-induced increases in weight or BMI. However, there is a paucity of data on other opioid antagonists as adjuncts to OLZ treatment to prevent increases in weight or BMI.

Abstract
Olanzapine is a second-generation antipsychotic with established efficacy in several psychiatric disease states, but its use is limited because of weight gain and metabolic side effects. Samidorphan is a novel opioid antagonist that binds to mu-opioid, kappa-opioid, and delta-opioid receptors and is hypothesized to reduce cravings for high-calorie foods thus attenuating antipsychotic-induced weight gain. The combination product olanzapine/samidorphan was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in June 2021 for the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar I disorder; this article reviews the pharmacological properties of oral olanzapine/samidorphan and its clinical efficacy and tolerability with a focus on mitigation of olanzapine-induced weight gain in these patient populations. In clinical trials, the combination of olanzapine/samidorphan was associated with significantly less weight gain and smaller increases in waist circumference as compared with olanzapine monotherapy. Olanzapine/samidorphan demonstrated similar efficacy as olanzapine monotherapy and was well tolerated. Weight gain and metabolic side effects associated with olanzapine monotherapy can result in tolerability issues and potentially medication nonadherence. Olanzapine/samidorphan is an effective treatment for schizophrenia and bipolar I disorder with less weight gain than olanzapine monotherapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION : Although olanzapine remains one of the most efficacious antipsychotic medications for the treatment of schizophrenia, there are significant tolerability concerns related to its weight and metabolic profile. Olanzapine-samidorphan combination tablets (OLZ/SAM), branded as Lybalvi, is a newly FDA approved formulation aimed at attenuating antipsychotic induced weight gain via modulation of the endogenous opioid system with samidorphan, while retaining the robust antipsychotic efficacy of olanzapine. AREAS COVERED : We reviewed the published literature of OLZ/SAM for the management of schizophrenia using the US National Library of Medicine's PubMed.gov resource. Topics covered in this narrative review include the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, tolerability, and efficacy of OLZ/SAM. EXPERT OPINION : OLZ/SAM is an effective and well tolerated pharmacologic option in mitigating olanzapine induced weight gain while retaining olanzapine's efficacy. It has a limited effect on metabolic laboratory parameters and cumulatively tends to limit weight gain rather than promote weight loss. Additional research will be needed to determine its effectiveness compared to alternative strategies to attenuate antipsychotic induced weight gain.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The overarching aim of this review is to synthesize the efficacy, tolerability, and weight-mitigation effects of the olanzapine/samidorphan (OLZ/SAM) combination treatment in adults with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder-I. METHODS A systematic search of PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and The Cochrane Library was conducted on August 15th, 2021. Studies were included if they investigated the use of OLZ/SAM treatment in patients with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder-I, and reported the clinical outcomes: efficacy, change in weight or waist circumference, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, or change in metabolic parameters. A narrative synthesis was undertaken of the data. RESULTS Eight studies met the inclusion criteria. All identified studies were conducted in adults with schizophrenia. Compared to OLZ-monotherapy, OLZ/SAM was associated with decreased odds of developing clinically significant (>10%) weight gain (OR=0.50, 95% CI:0.31,0.80; p= 0.003) and increase in waist circumference (risk difference = -17.1% 95% CI:-26.3,-7.8) from baseline measurements respectively. In another study, OLZ was 2.7 times more associated with clinically significant weight gain as compared to OLZ/SAM (OR=2.73, 95% CI:1.11, 6.67; p = 0.023). The clinical efficacy of OLZ/SAM remained similar to OLZ with improved tolerability in both short- and long-term studies with no significantly altered pharmacokinetic properties of the constituent agents. CONCLUSION OLZ/SAM-treatment is associated with mitigated weight-gain liability when compared to OLZ-monotherapy in adults with schizophrenia. Additional studies are needed to ascertain patient acceptability, appropriate selection and sequencing of OLZ/SAM in the treatment algorithms for adults with schizophrenia (and BD-I), as well as to determine cost-effectiveness and long-term metabolic effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The endogenous opioid system affects metabolism, including weight regulation. Evidence from preclinical and clinical studies provides a rationale for targeting this system to mitigate weight-related side effects of antipsychotics. This review describes the role of the opioid system in regulating weight and metabolism, examines the effects of opioid receptor antagonism on those functions, and explores the use of opioid antagonists to mitigate antipsychotic-associated weight gain and/or metabolic effects. METHODS A PubMed literature search was conducted to identify representative opioid antagonists and associated preclinical and clinical studies examining their potential for the regulation of weight and metabolism. RESULTS The mu opioid receptor (MOR), delta opioid receptor (DOR), and kappa opioid receptor (KOR) types have overlapping but distinct patterns of central and peripheral expression, and each contributes to the regulation of body weight and metabolism. Three representative opioid antagonists (eg, naltrexone, samidorphan, and LY255582) were identified for illustration. These opioid antagonists differed in their receptor binding and pharmacokinetic profiles, including oral bioavailability, systemic clearance, and half-life, and were associated with varying effects on food intake, energy utilization, and metabolic dysregulation. CONCLUSIONS Preclinical and clinical data suggest that antagonism of the endogenous opioid system is a mechanism to address antipsychotic-associated weight gain and metabolic dysregulation. However, evidence suggests that the differing roles of MOR, DOR, and KOR in metabolism, together with the differences in receptor binding, pharmacokinetic, and functional activity profiles of the opioid receptor antagonists discussed in this review, likely contribute to their differential pharmacodynamic effects and clinical outcomes observed regarding antipsychotic-associated weight gain.

Abstract
A combination of olanzapine and samidorphan (OLZ/SAM) received US Food and Drug Administration approval in May 2021 for the treatment of adults with schizophrenia or bipolar I disorder. OLZ/SAM provides the efficacy of olanzapine, while mitigating olanzapine-associated weight gain. This exploratory study characterized the metabolic profile of OLZ/SAM in healthy volunteers to gain mechanistic insights. Volunteers received once-daily oral 10 mg/10 mg OLZ/SAM, 10 mg olanzapine, or placebo for 21 days. Assessments included insulin sensitivity during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp, other measures of glucose/lipid metabolism, and adverse event (AE) monitoring. Treatment effects were estimated with analysis of covariance. In total, 60 subjects were randomized (double-blind; placebo, n = 12; olanzapine, n = 24; OLZ/SAM, n = 24). Olanzapine resulted in hyperinsulinemia and reduced insulin sensitivity during an OGTT at day 19, changes not observed with OLZ/SAM or placebo. Insulin sensitivity, measured by hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp, was decreased in all treatment groups relative to baseline, but this effect was greatest with olanzapine and OLZ/SAM. Although postprandial (OGTT) glucose and fasting cholesterol concentrations were similarly increased with olanzapine or OLZ/SAM, other early metabolic effects were distinct, including post-OGTT C-peptide concentrations and aspects of energy metabolism. Forty-nine subjects (81.7%) experienced at least 1 AE, most mild or moderate in severity. OLZ/SAM appeared to mitigate some of olanzapine's unfavorable postprandial metabolic effects (e.g., hyperinsulinemia, elevated C-peptide) in this exploratory study. These findings supplement the body of evidence from completed or ongoing OLZ/SAM clinical trials supporting its role in the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar I disorder.

Abstract
Objectives As olanzapine has side effects such as weight gain and metabolic disorders, and alpha-mangostin has been shown to control metabolic disorders, the effects of alpha-mangostin on metabolic disorders induced by olanzapine were investigated in this study. Materials and Methods Obesity was induced in female Wistar rats by daily administration of olanzapine (5 mg/kg/day, IP, 14 days). Rats were divided into 6 groups:1) vehicle (control); 2) olanzapine (5 mg/kg/day); 3,4,5) olanzapine+ alpha-mangostin (10, 20, 40 mg/kg/day, IP); 6) alpha-mangostin (40 mg/kg/day). Weight changes were measured every 3 days and food intake was assessed every day. Systolic blood pressure, plasma levels of blood sugar, triglycerides, total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, leptin, oxidative stress markers (MDA, GSH), AMPK, and P-AMPK protein levels in liver tissue were assessed on the last day of the study. Results Administration of olanzapine significantly increased weight gain, food intake, blood pressure, triglycerides, LDL, blood sugar, leptin, and MDA in rat liver tissue and also decreased GSH, AMPK, and P-AMPK in liver tissue compared with the control group. Different doses of alpha-mangostin significantly reduced weight gain, food intake, systolic blood pressure, triglycerides, LDL, blood sugar, leptin, and MDA. Also, they significantly increased GSH, AMPK, and P-AMPK in liver tissue compared with the olanzapine group. Conclusion Olanzapine increases leptin levels, food intake, and weight, induces oxidative stress, decreases the levels of AMPK and P-AMPK proteins in liver tissue, and causes metabolic disorders. But, alpha-mangostin reduces the negative effects of olanzapine by activation of AMPK.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The atypical antipsychotic olanzapine is approved for the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar I disorder; however, weight gain and metabolic dysregulation associated with olanzapine therapy have limited its clinical utility. In clinical studies, treatment with the combination of olanzapine and the opioid receptor antagonist samidorphan (OLZ/SAM) mitigated olanzapine-associated weight gain while providing antipsychotic efficacy similar to that of olanzapine. Although samidorphan is structurally similar to the opioid receptor antagonist naltrexone, the two differ in their pharmacokinetics and in vitro binding affinities to mu, delta, and kappa opioid receptors (MOR, DOR, and KOR, respectively). The objective of this series of nonclinical studies was to compare the in vivo binding profiles of samidorphan and naltrexone and their receptor occupancies at MOR, DOR, and KOR in rat brains. METHODS Male rats were injected with samidorphan or naltrexone to obtain total and unbound plasma and brain concentrations representing levels observed in humans at clinically relevant oral doses. Subsequently, samidorphan and naltrexone brain receptor occupancy at MOR, DOR, and KOR was measured using ultra-performance liquid chromatography and high-resolution accurate-mass mass spectrometry. RESULTS A dose-dependent increase in samidorphan occupancy was observed at MOR, DOR, and KOR (EC50: 5.1, 54.7, and 42.9 nM, respectively). Occupancy of naltrexone at MOR (EC50: 15.5 nM) and KOR was dose dependent; minimal DOR occupancy was detected. At the clinically relevant unbound brain concentration of 23.1 nM, samidorphan bound to MOR, DOR, and KOR with 93.2%, 36.1%, and 41.9% occupancy, respectively. At 33.5 nM, naltrexone bound to MOR and KOR with 79.4% and 9.4% occupancy, respectively, with no binding at DOR. DISCUSSION At clinically relevant concentrations, samidorphan occupied MOR, DOR, and KOR, whereas naltrexone occupied only MOR and KOR. The binding profile of samidorphan differs from that of naltrexone, with potential clinical implications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atypical antipsychotics such as olanzapine often cause metabolic side effects such as obesity and diabetes, leading to an increased risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of olanzapine treatment on hepatic lipid metabolism and its possible relationship with adipose tissue status. METHODS Using a female rat model, we investigated the effects of chronic olanzapine administration on the regulation of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism including lipid biosynthesis, oxidation, efflux, and lipolysis in liver and adipose tissue. RESULTS The body weight, liver mass and visceral adiposity after olanzapine treatment (2 mg/kg) for five weeks were not significantly different compared with vehicle controls. The serum level of triglycerides was higher in the vehicle controls than in olanzapine-treated rats. Unexpectedly, olanzapine treatment did not reduce glucose tolerance in our model. The expression of functional thermogenic protein uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) was increased in brown adipose tissue (BAT) of the olanzapine group. Additionally, olanzapine treatment also reduced adipose inflammation in white adipose tissue (WAT). The transcription factor sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP)-1c, a key early regulator of lipogenesis, was downregulated following olanzapine treatment. The expression of genes related to the triglycerides synthesis apparatus in the liver was upregulated in the olanzapine group. Olanzapine treatment induced genes involved in PPAR-α signaling and mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation in response to increased ATGL-mediated lipolysis in the liver. CONCLUSION Together, our findings suggest a complicated link between olanzapine therapy and metabolic disturbance and may garner interest in assessing the action of antipsychotic-induced metabolic disturbances.

Abstract
Olanzapine effectively treats schizophrenia and bipolar I disorder (BD-I); however, its use is limited by the risk of significant weight gain and metabolic effects. OLZ/SAM, a combination of olanzapine and samidorphan, was recently approved in the United States for the treatment of adults with schizophrenia or BD-I. OLZ/SAM provides the efficacy of olanzapine while mitigating olanzapine-associated weight gain through opioid-receptor blockade. Here, we summarize OLZ/SAM clinical data characterizing pharmacokinetics, antipsychotic efficacy, weight mitigation efficacy, safety, and long-term treatment effects. In an acute exacerbation of schizophrenia, OLZ/SAM and olanzapine provided similar symptom improvements versus placebo at week 4. In stable outpatients with schizophrenia, OLZ/SAM treatment resulted in significantly less weight gain, reducing the risk for clinically significant weight gain and waist circumference increases of ≥5 cm by half, compared with olanzapine at week 24. Based on open-label extension studies, OLZ/SAM is safe and well tolerated for up to 3.5 years of treatment, while maintaining schizophrenia symptom control and stabilizing weight. The olanzapine component of OLZ/SAM was bioequivalent to branded olanzapine (Zyprexa); adjunctive OLZ/SAM had no clinically significant effects on lithium or valproate pharmacokinetics. Additionally, OLZ/SAM had no clinically relevant effect on electrocardiogram parameters in a dedicated thorough QT study. Overall, safety and tolerability findings from clinical studies with OLZ/SAM indicate a similar safety profile to that of olanzapine, with the exception of less weight gain. As OLZ/SAM contains the opioid antagonist samidorphan, it is contraindicated in patients using opioids and in those undergoing acute opioid withdrawal. Clinical trial results from more than 1600 subjects support the use of OLZ/SAM as a new treatment option for patients with schizophrenia or BD-I.

Abstract
Samidorphan, which was developed by Alkermes, is an opioid receptor antagonist that has been co-formulated with olanzapine into a single-dose oral tablet to mitigate the risk of weight gain while providing the therapeutic effect of olanzapine. Olanzapine/samidorphan (LYBALVI™) was recently approved in the USA for the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar I disorder. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of samidorphan leading to this first approval of olanzapine/samidorphan.

A phase 3, multicenter study to assess the 1-year safety and tolerability of a combination of olanzapine and samidorphan in patients with schizophrenia: Results from the ENLIGHTEN-2 long-term extension. Schizophr Res 2021; 232:45-53. [PMID: 34015555 DOI: 10.1016/j.schres.2021.04.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2020] [Revised: 03/02/2021] [Accepted: 04/17/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
AIM A combination of olanzapine and samidorphan (OLZ/SAM) is in development for the treatment of patients with schizophrenia or bipolar I disorder and is intended to provide the efficacy of olanzapine while mitigating olanzapine-associated weight gain. This 52-week open-label extension (NCT02873208; ENLIGHTEN-2-EXT) assessed the long-term safety and tolerability of OLZ/SAM in patients with schizophrenia. METHODS Patients completing the 24-week randomized, double-blind, phase 3 ENLIGHTEN-2 study (NCT02694328) comparing weight change from baseline to week 24 with OLZ/SAM versus olanzapine were eligible to enroll in the 52-week ENLIGHTEN-2-EXT study. Assessments included adverse events (AEs; each visit), weight/waist circumference (every other week for the first 8 weeks, then every 4 weeks thereafter), metabolic laboratory parameters (weeks 4, 12, 24, 36, and 52), Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) scores (weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, 36, and 52), and Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) scores (weeks 2 and 4, then every 4 weeks thereafter through week 48, and at week 52). Analyses were based on observed results using descriptive statistics. Baseline was relative to the first OLZ/SAM dose in the extension study. RESULTS In total, 265 patients were enrolled and received at least 1 dose of OLZ/SAM; 167 (63.0%) completed the 52-week extension study. Common AEs (≥5%) were weight decreased (n = 23; 8.7%), extra dose administered (n = 21; 7.9%), headache (n = 18; 6.8%), and weight increased (n = 16; 6.0%). At week 52, the mean (SD) change from baseline for weight and waist circumference was -0.03 (6.17) kg and - 0.35 (6.12) cm, respectively. Changes in fasting lipid and glycemic parameters were generally small and remained stable over 52 weeks. During the extension, PANSS total scores remained stable, and at week 52, 81.3% of patients had CGI-S scores of 3 or less, reflecting mild illness severity. CONCLUSIONS OLZ/SAM was generally well tolerated over 52 weeks. Weight, waist circumference, metabolic laboratory parameters, and schizophrenia symptoms remained stable throughout the study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A combination of olanzapine and the opioid receptor antagonist samidorphan is under development for the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar I disorder. The single-tablet combination treatment is intended to provide the efficacy of olanzapine while mitigating olanzapine-associated weight gain. In this phase 3 double-blind trial, the authors evaluated the weight profile of combined olanzapine/samidorphan compared with olanzapine in patients with schizophrenia. METHODS Adults (ages 18‒55 years) with schizophrenia were randomly assigned to receive either combination treatment with olanzapine and samidorphan or olanzapine treatment for 24 weeks. Primary endpoints were percent change from baseline in body weight and proportion of patients with ≥10% weight gain at week 24. The key secondary endpoint was the proportion of patients with ≥7% weight gain. Waist circumference and fasting metabolic laboratory parameters were also measured. RESULTS Of 561 patients who underwent randomization (olanzapine/samidorphan combination, N=280; olanzapine, N=281), 538 had at least one postbaseline weight assessment. At week 24, the least squares mean percent weight change from baseline was 4.21% (SE=0.68) in the olanzapine/samidorphan group and 6.59% (SE=0.67) in the olanzapine group (the difference of -2.38% [SE=0.76] was significant). Significantly fewer patients in the olanzapine/samidorphan combination group compared with the olanzapine group had weight gain ≥10% (17.8% and 29.8%, respectively; number needed to treat [NNT]=7.29; odds ratio=0.50) and weight gain ≥7% (27.5% and 42.7%, respectively; NNT=6.29; odds ratio=0.50). Increases in waist circumference were smaller in the olanzapine/samidorphan combination group compared with the olanzapine group. Schizophrenia symptom improvement was similar between treatment groups. Adverse events (in ≥10% of the groups) in the olanzapine/samidorphan and olanzapine groups included weight gain (24.8% and 36.2%), somnolence (21.2% and 18.1%), dry mouth (12.8% and 8.0%), and increased appetite (10.9% and 12.3%). Metabolic changes were small and similar between treatments. CONCLUSIONS Olanzapine/samidorphan combination treatment was associated with significantly less weight gain and smaller increases in waist circumference than olanzapine and was well tolerated. The antipsychotic efficacy of the combination treatment was similar to that of olanzapine monotherapy.

Combination of Olanzapine Pamoate with Melatonin and Metformin: Quantitative Changes in Rat Adipose Tissue. CURRENT HEALTH SCIENCES JOURNAL 2019; 45:372-382.

Abstract
Olanzapine is one of the atypical antipsychotics widely used in the treatment of schizophrenia and has been associated with metabolic changes as adverse effects, including hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, and weight gain. In a batch of adult female Wistar rats, we studied the prolonged-release intramuscular olanzapine pamoate induced quantitative changes of visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue. We also assessed the effects of the combinations of olanzapine pamoate with melatonin, metformin, and melatonin plus metformin, administered by gastric gavage. A higher mean weight of the visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue per animal was noted in the olanzapine pamoate exposed group compared to controls. The association with melatonin, metformin, or the combination of melatonin with metformin attenuated the olanzapine-induced adipose deposit tissue growth. The effect was more pronounced for the combination of olanzapine with melatonin and metformin. Because most of the results were not statistically significant we can deduce that in the chronic experiment, adaptive type modifications of the receptors on which both olanzapine and melatonin act can occur.
