CAPLYTA - Dosing - Plasma Concentrations

Last Updated: 11/12/2025

SUMMARY  

  • After CAPLYTA dosing, the absolute bioavailability of lumateperone is about 4.4%. Peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of lumateperone is reached approximately 1-2 hours after CAPLYTA dosing.1 
    • Ingestion of a high-fat meal with CAPLYTA lowered lumateperone mean Cmax by 33% and increased mean area under the concentration vs time curve (AUC) by 9%. Median time to maximum plasma concentration (Tmax) was delayed about 1 hour (from 1 hour at fasted state to 2 hours in the presence of food). 
  • Following once daily oral administration of CAPLYTA, lumateperone steady state is reached in about 5 days.1 
  • Lumateperone steady-state exposure is approximately dose-proportional in the range of 3.5 mg to 56 mg (0.08 to 1.3 times the approved recommended daily dosage).1 
  • A large inter-subject variability in lumateperone pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters was observed, with coefficients of variation for Cmax and AUC ranging from 68% to 97% at steady state.1
