About this study
Official title: Phase II/III Study of FK949E: Placebo-controlled, Double-blind, Parallel-group Comparative Study and Open-label, Non-controlled Extension Study in Bipolar Disorder Patients With Major Depressive Episodes
In period I, the treatment effect of FK949E was compared with that of placebo in a blind manner in bipolar disorder patients with major depressive episodes. In period II, the long-term safety and efficacy of FK949E was evaluated.
Read the detailed description
This study consisted of two parts. In Treatment Period I, FK949E or placebo was administered orally in a blind manner to bipolar disorder patients with major depressive episodes, with the aim of evaluating the superiority of FK949E over placebo and the dose response of two doses of FK949E based on changes in Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) total score. In Treatment Period II, the long-term safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of open-label FK949E was evaluated in patients who completed Treatment Period I. An analysis was performed for data in Treatment Period I and another analysis was done for data in combined Treatment Periods I and II.

Change From Baseline in Drug Induced Extra-Pyramidal Symptoms Scale (DIEPSS): Total Score (Treatment Period I)
The DIEPSS is a scale used to evaluate drug-induced extrapyramidal symptoms. DIEPSS is composed of 8 individual symptom parameters and a global assessment of severity, each rated on a 5-point scale, with lower scores indicating as "normal." The DIEPSS total score ranges from 0 (none, normal) to 32 (severe), and excludes the global assessment of severity.
Measured: Baseline and Weeks 4, 8
Change From Baseline in DIEPSS: Total Score (Combined Treatment Period I and II)
The DIEPSS is a scale used to evaluate drug-induced extrapyramidal symptoms. DIEPSS is composed of 8 individual symptom parameters and a global assessment of severity, each rated on a 5-point scale, with lower scores indicating as "normal." The DIEPSS total score ranges from 0 (none, normal) to 32 (severe), and excludes the global assessment of severity. Baseline for Placebo / FK949E was at week 12 therefore no data were calculated for weeks 1-12.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
In period I, the treatment effect of FK949E was compared with that of placebo in a blind manner in bipolar disorder patients with major depressive episodes. In period II, the long-term safety and efficacy of FK949E was evaluated.
Detailed description
This study consisted of two parts. In Treatment Period I, FK949E or placebo was administered orally in a blind manner to bipolar disorder patients with major depressive episodes, with the aim of evaluating the superiority of FK949E over placebo and the dose response of two doses of FK949E based on changes in Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) total score. In Treatment Period II, the long-term safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of open-label FK949E was evaluated in patients who completed Treatment Period I. An analysis was performed for data in Treatment Period I and another analysis was done for data in combined Treatment Periods I and II.

Change From Baseline to End of Treatment Period I in Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score
Time frame: Baseline and Week 8
The MADRS is a 10-item scale to measure the severity of depressive episodes, where each item is rated on a scale from 0 to 6. The MADRS total score ranges from 0 to 60 with lower scores indicating less depressive symptoms.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2/3 study testing FK949E in people with Bipolar Disorder, run by Astellas Pharma Inc at 98 sites in Japan.
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 3 inclusion and 22 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 15 Nov 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 98 sites in Japan. 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 combined phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
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 8 Feb 2017). 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?
Change From Baseline to End of Treatment Period I in Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score (time frame: Baseline and Week 8). 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 NCT01725308, which also lists 3 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 15 Nov 2024.
