Conference participation

Johnson & Johnson will present 24 abstracts featuring clinical data and real‑world evidence across its neuropsychiatry portfolio at the Psych Congress Annual Meeting (September 15–19, 2026) in New Orleans.

Key clinical findings

New pivotal Phase 3 data evaluating CAPLYTA (lumateperone) in the acute treatment of manic episodes or manic episodes with mixed features associated with bipolar I disorder will be presented. Additional CAPLYTA data will cover adjunctive use in MDD across depressive symptoms, remission, patient subgroups and metabolic outcomes.

New analyses of SPRAVATO (esketamine) nasal spray will examine its impact on anhedonia, and Phase 3 clinical trial data for seltorexant will be presented for major depressive disorder with insomnia symptoms.

Real‑world evidence and long‑acting injectables

Presented real‑world studies will include CAPLYTA treatment patterns in bipolar depression (dosing and duration) and LAI studies assessing schizophrenia‑related hospitalizations in young dual‑eligible patients before LAI initiation, subsequent relapse risk, and treatment satisfaction with LAIs. The company will support educational programs, in‑booth presentations and training, including interactive PRIDE LAI visualizations and CAPLYTA schizophrenia and network meta‑analysis findings.

Regulatory and usage notes

A supplemental NDA for CAPLYTA containing long‑term data on delayed time to relapse in schizophrenia was recently approved by the U.S. FDA. SPRAVATO has been approved in more than 70 markets and administered to over 250,000 patients worldwide. The full list of presentations is available on JNJ.com.
