Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 45 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Part A:
  • Must have a current diagnosis of schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, as determined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Version 5 (DSM-5) criteria.
  • Must have a Body Mass Index between 18 and 35 kg/m^2.
  • Good physical health as determined by no clinically significant deviation from normal, in the opinion of the investigator, in medical history, clinical laboratory determination, ECGs, or physical examinations.
  • Participants must be considered stable, per the investigator's judgment, on one of the following atypical oral antipsychotic medications at an adequate dose (eg, low- to mid-range of the recommended dose range for the treatment of schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, according to the manufacturer labeling) and for an adequate duration (30 days) prior to the administration of IMP: aripiprazole, brexpiprazole, risperidone, olanzapine, quetiapine, ziprasidone, paliperidone, cariprazine, lurasidone, and asenapine. Other oral antipsychotic medications may be allowed if approved by the medical monitor and sponsor; however, clozapine will not be allowed. Per the investigator's judgment, they should be comfortable with the participant discontinuing background antipsychotic therapy during the trial period and then restarting the antipsychotic therapy once trial participation has been completed.
  • Part B:

Who cannot join

  • Part A:
  • Participants who are unable to stop receiving varenicline beyond the screening visit. If a participant is receiving varenicline at the screening visit, attempts should be made to discontinue the medication, if clinically feasible, to allow potential participants to enter the trial.
  • Participants who have a significant risk of committing suicide based on history, routine psychiatric status examination, investigator's judgment, or who have an answer of "yes" on questions 4 or 5 (current or over the last 3 months) on the Baseline/Screening Version of the C-SSRS or participants with any suicidal behavior during the 6 months prior to the screening visit.
  • Participants currently in an acute relapse of schizophrenia as assessed by the investigator. Bipolar participants who currently have an unstable mood (manic, mixed, or depressed) as assessed by the investigator.
  • Participants with a current DSM-5 diagnosis other than schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, including schizoaffective disorder, major depressive disorder, delirium, dementia, amnestic, or other cognitive disorders. Also, participants with borderline, paranoid, histrionic, schizotypal, schizoid, or antisocial personality disorder.
  • Use of any moderate-strong CYP3A4 inhibitor or inducer within 14 days or 5 plasma half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to the administration of IMP and for the duration of the trial. Weak CYP3A4 inhibitors, including valproic acid, may be allowed based on the investigator's judgment, provided the participant has been on a stable dose for at least 30 days prior to IMP administration and throughout the duration of the trial.

  4. Part A: Percentage of Participants who Experience at Least One Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event

    An adverse event is defined as as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical trial participant administered a medicinal product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. A Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) is defined as an adverse event that occurs after treatment has begun.

    Measured: Day 1 to End of Follow-Up (Day 45[+/- 2 days])

  5. Part A: Percentage of Participants who Experience a Clinically Significant Change from Baseline in Vital Signs

    Vital signs will include blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, and respiratory rate.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Seroquel IR 300mg, Seroquel IR 25mg and Quetiapine Formulation A 300mg in people with Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia, run by Otsuka Pharmaceutical Development & Commercialization, Inc. at 1 site in United States.

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 11 inclusion and 18 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 2 Sep 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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

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?

Part A: Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) for Quetiapine (time frame: Pre-dose on days 4, 9 and 14, 12 hours post morning dose on Days 4, 9 and 14 and pre-dose, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.25, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours post morning dose on days 5, 10 and 15). The study lists 5 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 2 Sep 2020.
