Beyond Acute Treatment

The Next Era of Relapse Prevention in Schizophrenia

March 26, 2026
19:30 - 21:15
Sabatini Firenze

An Intellectual Salon for Scientific Leaders

Relapse prevention remains the single greatest unmet need in schizophrenia treatment. Despite advances in pharmacotherapy, the cycle of relapse continues to disrupt lives and derail recovery.

Join NWPharmaTech for an intimate, off-the-record dinner discussion during the SIRS 2026 Annual Congress. We convene a curated group of 25 senior stakeholders—clinicians, trialists, regulators, and investors—to explore the scientific thesis for a new category of non-dopaminergic, oral maintenance therapy.

This is not a corporate presentation. It is a dialogue about the future of the field.

Leading the Conversation

Professor John Kane

Professor John Kane

Scientific Lead & Keynote

Professor Kane will anchor the evening with a thought-provoking perspective on the limitations of current acute treatments and the biological rationale for a new approach to maintenance.

Key Discussion Themes:

  • Limitations of LAIs and oral dopaminergic agents
  • Time-to-relapse as a validated regulatory endpoint
  • The case for non-dopaminergic maintenance mechanisms
  • Clinical trial design for the next era of development
