About this study

To investigate the safety and efficacy of long-term administration of aripiprazole by performing extended administration of the treatment administered in the preceding multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group-comparison trial of aripiprazole in patients with bipolar disorder experiencing a manic or mixed episode (Study 031-06-003, hereafter "Study 003") in a double-blind manner to those patients who complete Study 003 and demonstrate drug efficacy.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS)

    Using LOCF datasets, descriptive statistics of actual values for changes of YMRS total scores from baseline (Day 1 of preceding study) to endpoint (Day 154) was calculated for each treatment group.

    YMRS is composed of 11 evaluation items with 5 rating levels each. Items rated on a scale of 0 to 4 (comprising 5 rating levels of one point each) are 1) levated mood, 2) increased motor activity/energy, 3) sexual interest, 4) sleep, 7) language-thought disorder, 10) appearance, and 11) insight. Items rated on a scale of 0 to 8 (comprising 5 rating levels of two points each) are 5) irritability, 6) speech (rate and amount), 8) content, and 9) disruptive-aggressive behavior.

    YMRS ranges from 0 (best possible outcome) to 60 (worst possible outcome).

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1 of preceding study) , Day 154 or at discontinuation

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Clinical Global Impression - Bipolar Version (CGI-BP) Severity of Illness (Mania)

    Using LOCF datasets, descriptive statistics of actual values for change of CGI-BP severity of illness score (mania) from baseline (Day 1 of preceding study) to endpoint (Day 154) were calculated for each treatment group.

    CGI-BP severity of illness is a scale for overall evaluation of the severity of bipolar disorder; it comprises 3 components-mania, depression, and overall bipolar illness.

    CGI-BP severity of illness score (mania) ranges form 1 (normal, not ill) to 7 (very severely ill).

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1 of preceding study), Day 154 or at discontinuation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Aripiprazole in people with Bipolar I Disorder, run by Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. at 12 sites in 4 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Feb 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in Japan, China, South Korea, Taiwan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 12 Feb 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) (time frame: Baseline (Day 1 of preceding study) , Day 154 or at discontinuation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
