Is Nuplazid A Good Alternative Of Clozapine?

My wife is currently taking clozapine for hallucinations and psychotic behavior due to Parkinson s and Lewy Body Dementia. I have seen a new medication called Nuplazid for psychosis. Would this be an alternate med as it does not require monthly blood draws?
