Subjects in the Janssen study [18] were administered 1 mg risperidone, whereas the patients in the present study were administered 2 mg VAL401. Dose-normalised (to 1 mg of risperidone) VAL401 pharmacokinetic parameter values are reported for Cmax, AUC0–∞, AUC0–last and AUMC0–∞, as indicated by an asterisk

Data on the metabolite (9-hydroxyrisperidone) oral clearance (Cloral) and volume of distribution at steady state (Vdss) were not available for the Janssen study subjects
