About this study

Official title: A 26-week, Multicenter, Open-label, Extension Study of Aripiprazole Intramuscular Depot (OPC-14597, Lu AF41155) in Patients With Schizophrenia

The phase 3 Trial 31-12-291 is part of the aripiprazole IM depot clinical development program and has been designed to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of aripiprazole IM depot for the treatment of adults experiencing an acute relapse of schizophrenia. Subjects receive treatment during a 12-week double-blind acute treatment phase. The current trial (31-12-297) will allow the subjects who complete Trial 291 to enter this open label trial at the investigator's discretion, where additional safety and tolerability data will be collected.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants Reporting Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Severe TEAEs, Discontinued Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) Due to AEs, Serious TEAEs and Outcome of Death

    A TEAE was defined as an AE that began after the first injection or was continuous from Baseline and was serious, study drug-related, or resulted in death.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 24

Secondary outcomes (24)
  1. Mean Change From Baseline in Suicidal Ideation Intensity Total Score by the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)

    Data collected from C-SSRS were mapped into C-CASA. The Columbia Classification Algorithm of Suicide Assessment (C-CASA) method and C-SSRS(text in parentheses as said below) were mapped as; 1= completed suicide(completed suicide); 2= suicide attempt(actual attempt); 3= preparatory actions toward imminent suicidal behavior (interrupted attempt, aborted attempt and preparatory acts/behavior); 4= suicidal ideation(wish to die,active suicidal thought, active suicidal thought with method, active suicidal thought with intent,active suicidal thought with plan/intent); 5= self-injurious behavior, intent unknown; 6= not enough information: death; 7= non-suicidal self-injurious behavior(nonsuicidal self-injurious behavior); 8= other accident; psychiatric/medical; 9= not enough information/non-death. C-CASA category 5, 6, 8 and 9 are not applicable. For each item, each participant received an intensity score from 0(none) to 5(worst). Suicidal ideation intensity total score range from 0 to 25.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 24

  2. Mean Change From Baseline by Week by Extrapyramidal Symptoms (EPS) Evaluated Using the Simpson-Angus Scale (SAS)

    The EPS rating scales included SAS total score (range 10-50) was the sum of the rating scores for 10 items from the SAS panel. This scale consists of a list of 10 symptoms, each to be rated on a 5-point scale of severity. For each symptom, the rating which best described the patient's condition were, 1= gait; 2= arm dropping; 3= shoulder shaking; 4= elbow rigidity; 5= wrist rigidity; 6= head rotation; 8= tremor; 9= salivation; 10= akathisia.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 24

  3. Mean Change From Baseline by Week by EPS Evaluated Using the Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS)

    EPS rating scale included the AIMS movement rating score (range 0-28) was the sum of the rating scores for facial and oral movements (i.e., item 1 - 4), extremity movements (i.e. item 5 - 6), and trunk movements (i.e. item 7). The symptoms for facial and oral movements were 1= muscles of facial expression, 2= lips and perioral area, 3= jaw and 4=tongue; extremity movements were, 5= upper (arms, wrists, hands, fingers), lower (legs, knees, ankles, toes), 7= neck, shoulders, hips). This scale consisted of 10 items, each to be rated on a 4-point scale of severity, and 2 questions to be answered by yes or no. To complete the scale, the patient was observed unobtrusively at rest (e.g., in waiting room). The chair used for this examination was hard, firm one without arms.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 24

  4. Mean Change From Baseline by Week by EPS Evaluated Using Barnes Akathisia Rating Scale (BARS)

    The BARS global score (range 0-5) was derived from the global clinical assessment of akathisia from the BARS panel were, 0= absent; 1= questionable; 2= mild akathisia; 3= moderate akathisia; 4= marked akathisia; 5= severe akathisia. Patients were observed while they were seated and then standing (for a minimum of 2 minutes in each position). Symptoms were observed in other situations (e.g., while engaged in neutral conversation, engaged in activity on the ward) was also rated.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 24

A Phase 3 study testing Aripiprazole IM Depot in people with Schizophrenia, run by Otsuka Pharmaceutical Development & Commercialization, Inc. at 38 sites in 3 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 9 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 31 Mar 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 38 sites in United States, Croatia, Latvia. 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 31 Mar 2015). 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?

Percentage of Participants Reporting Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Severe TEAEs, Discontinued Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) Due to AEs, Serious TEAEs and Outcome of Death (time frame: Baseline to Week 24). 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 31 Mar 2015.
