About this study

Official title: An Observational Drug Utilization Study of SYCREST^® (Asenapine) in the United Kingdom

This study is designed to describe asenapine prescribing patterns in the United Kingdom (UK) during the post-approval period under conditions of usual practice. The use of asenapine in Bipolar Disorder and other indications will be described. To provide epidemiological and clinical perspective, use of aripiprazole and other comparator drugs will be described.

Read the detailed description

The data source for this study will be the Clinical Practice Research Database (CPRD) in the UK. New users of asenapine during the period following the UK marketing launch of asenapine will be identified in the CPRD. Use in Bipolar Disorder and other indications, as well as baseline demographic and physical characteristics, including prior health status, comorbidities, concomitant medications and healthcare resource utilization, will be described for the asenapine cohort, for participants aged 18 or greater. Use of asenapine in the general practice setting among pediatric participants will be described.

The primary comparison cohort will be aripiprazole. Participants in the aripiprazole cohort will be matched to participants treated with asenapine based on respective time after market entry. In addition, non-matched cohorts will be used to describe utilization of aripiprazole and other comparators.

Being tested
Asenapine, Aripiprazole, Quetiapine, Risperidone, Olanzapine
Medical subject headings

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bipolar Disorder, run by Organon and Co.

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 8 inclusion and 1 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 4 Feb 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Frequency and Proportion of Use, by Psychiatric Diagnosis, Among Asenapine and Aripiprazole Participants Aged 18 or Greater (time frame: From baseline through 730 days after date of prescription). The study lists 8 primary outcomes in all. 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Feb 2022.
