The study was conducted at RIMS general Hospital Psychiatry OP and study evaluated comparative efficacy and safety Lurasidone in comparison to Olanzapine  in first episode schizophrenia diagnosed based on ICD-10.126 first episode schizophrenia patients participated in the study out which 60 patients were in olanzapine group and 66 patients Lurasidone group. PANSS and CGI-I were used assess and compare efficacy. Lurasidone was non inferior to olanzapine in decreasing PANSS score from baseline to end of study at 12th week (95% CI: -8.9 to 4.5). Lurasidone and Olanzapine were equally effective in treating the first episode schizophrenia.

Conclusion: In our study after analysis Lurasidone was equally efficacious in treating first episode of schizophrenia.
