UC San Diego researchers found a lower mortality percentage for those using pimavanserin compared to those using only quetiapine
In their review of the 676 qualifying patient cases, UC San Diego researchers found a lower mortality percentage for those using pimavanserin compared to those using only quetiapine or those using both drugs. “But the differences were not significant,” said Nahab.
The researchers did note a significant increased risk of mortality — 74 percent — in the quetiapine-only group compared with individuals not on these medications and a trend toward increased risk in the combination therapy group. “It’s reasonable to assume, however, that individuals requiring these medications have greater disease severity and are at a higher risk of complications and death,” said Nahab.
“Our findings provide the largest comparative report of mortality risk in PDP to date,” said Nahab, “but there were limitations to our study based on its design and nature. We did not find any new or unexpected concerns about the use of pimavanserin in the treatment of PDP, which may provide some reassurance to clinicians, patients and families.
