ASP-4345, or ASP4345, is a dopamine D1 receptor positive allosteric modulator which is or was under development for the treatment of schizophrenia.[1][4][5][3] It is being developed as an adjunctive therapy for the cognitive symptoms of schizophrenia.[1] The drug is taken orally.[1][2][3]

The most common side effects of ASP-4345 have been found to be headache and somnolence.[2] No changes in mood or suicidality were observed.[2] The pharmacokinetics of ASP-4345 have been studied.[3] The median time to peak levels of ASP-4345 is 1.0 to 3.0 hours.[3] Its mean elimination half-life is 9.1 to 26.8 hours.[3]

ASP-4345 is or was under development by Astellas Pharma.[1][4] As of March 2021, no recent development has been reported.[1] The drug has reached phase 2 clinical trials for schizophrenia.[1][4] It was found to be ineffective in a phase 2 trial.[5]
