The company believes the drug has the potential to be the first agent for the treatment of schizophrenia that is not a dopamine 2 receptor antagonist.

In Phase 2 studies, patients treated with SEP-363856 showed statistically significant improvement compared with those who received the placebo and the treatment was generally well tolerated.
