The (123)I-IBZM SPECT measured D(2) receptor occupancy (D(2)RO) in chronically dosed, stabilized schizophrenic patients and its relationship with antipsychotic (AP) pharmacokinetics (PK) over time is still unclear. The aims of this study were: 1) To define the relationship between striatal D(2) receptor occupancy (D( 2)RO) and plasma concentration (C(P)) in stabilized schizophrenic patients on clinically relevant doses using (123)I-IBZM SPECT; 2) To investigate the time course of AP-induced D(2)RO and corresponding C(P). Forty-six schizophrenic patients on their clinically required doses of risperidone, olanzapine, clozapine or quetiapine were included. D( 2)RO and C(P) were measured over time following a sparse-sampling experimental design, and individual PK and D(2)RO-time profiles were estimated using a population approach. Observed striatal D(2)RO and C(P) ranges were 28-75% and 9.4-60.5 ng/mL for risperidone, 22-84% and 8.6-89.5 ng/mL for olanzapine, 5-53% and 41.6-818.2 ng/mL for clozapine and 0-64% and 37.9-719.6 ng/mL for quetiapine. A PK-D(2)RO relationship was found for the four APs. D(2)RO pattern over time was stable for risperidone, olanzapine and clozapine but fluctuating for quetiapine. Stabilized schizophrenic patients show a wide range of both D(2)RO and C(P) at clinically effective doses of the four AP, suggesting that clinical response to these AP may be maintained with D(2)RO below 65%. D(2)RO patterns over time differ between AP. These results should be considered for accurate interpretation of D(2)RO measurements, proper design of studies and optimization of drug regimens for patients on AP treatment.
