PF-06412562, also known as CVL-562, is a moderately potent and highly selective dopamine D1 and D5 receptor partial agonist which is under development for the treatment of the cognitive symptoms of schizophrenia. [1] [2] [3] [4] It is taken orally. [1] The drug has been reported to produce pro-motivational effects in humans. [3] [5] PF-06412562 is under development by Pfizer and Cerevel Therapeutics. [1] [2] As of August 2025, it is in phase 1/2 clinical trials. [1] [2] The drug was also under development for the treatment of Parkinson's disease and cognition disorders, but development for these indications was discontinued. [1] [2] Its development for Parkinson's disease was discontinued for business reasons unrelated to safety in 2017. [6]
