What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Adverse Events (AEs) - All Participants
To assess the frequency and severity of AEs as the variables of safety and tolerability of brexpiprazole.
Measured: From screening to week 52/early termination
Secondary outcomes (4)
Mean Change From Baseline in Clinical Global Impression - Severity (CGI-S) of Illness Score
The severity of illness for each participant was rated using the CGI-S . On the basis of the investigator answer to the question: "Considering your total clinical experience with this particular population, how mentally ill was the participant at that time?" Response choices included: 0 = not assessed; 1 = normal, not at all ill; 2 = borderline mentally ill; 3 = mildly ill; 4 = moderately ill; 5 = markedly ill; 6 = severely ill; and 7 = among the most extremely ill participants.
Measured: From screening to week 52/early termination
Change From Baseline in Mean Clinical Global Impression - Improvement (CGI-I) Score
The efficacy of trial treatment was rated for each participant using the CGI-I. The investigator rated the participant's total improvement whether or not it was due entirely to drug treatment. All responses were compared to the participant's condition at screening. Response choices included: 0 = not assessed, 1 = very much improved, 2 = much improved, 3 = minimally improved, 4 = no change, 5 = minimally worse, 6 = much worse and 7 = very much worse.
Measured: From screening to week 52/early termination
Summary of Mean Change From Baseline in Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) Mean Score
The SDS was a self-rated instrument used to measure the effect of the participant's symptoms on regular life responsibilities. The SDS was a visual analogue scale that used spatio-visual, numeric, and verbal descriptive anchors simultaneously to assess disability across the 3 domains with scores from 0 = not at all, to 10 = extremely.
Scores of 5 and above were associated with significant functional impairment.
Measured: From screening to week 52/early termination
Change From Baseline in the Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology - Self Report (IDS-SR) Total Score
The IDS-SR was a 30-item self-report measure used to assess core diagnostic depressive symptoms as well as atypical and melancholic symptom features of MDD. The IDS-SR consists of 30 items, all rated on a 0 to 3 scale with 0 being the "best" rating and 3 being the "worst" rating. The IDS-SR Total Score is the sum of ratings of 28 item scores. The possible IDS-SR Total Score ranges from 0 (best) to 84 (worst).
Under item 9, two sub-items 9A and 9B exist, with possible scores of 1, 2 or 3 for item 9A, and 0 or 1 for item 9B. The scores for these two sub-items are not included in the calculation of the total score. Item 11 or item 12 should be completed but not both, and similarly, item 13 or item 14 should be completed but not both. If the number of items recorded is at least 23 and at most 27, the IDS-SR Total Score will be the mean of the recorded items multiplied by 28 and then rounded to the first decimal place.
Measured: From screening to week 52/early termination

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing OPC-34712, Escitalopram and Fluoxetine in people with Depressive Disorder and Depression, run by Otsuka Pharmaceutical Development & Commercialization, Inc. at 142 sites in 11 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 2 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 17 Sep 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 142 sites in United States, Poland, Russia, France, Canada and 6 more countries. 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. 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 17 Sep 2018). 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?
Adverse Events (AEs) - All Participants (time frame: From screening to week 52/early termination). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01360866, which also lists 2 linked publications.
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?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Sep 2018.
