Brexpiprazole is an oral antipsychotic agent indicated for use in patients with schizophrenia or as adjunctive treatment for major depressive disorder. As obesity (body mass index ≥35 kg/m2) has the potential to affect drug pharmacokinetics and is a common comorbidity of both schizophrenia and major depressive disorder, it is important to understand changes in brexpiprazole disposition in this population. This study uses a whole-body physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model to compare the pharmacokinetics of brexpiprazole in obese and normal-weight (body mass index 18- 25 kg/m2) individuals known to be cytochrome P450 2D6 extensive metabolizers (EMs) and poor metabolizers (PMs).
