About this study

Official title: A Double-Blind, 9-Week Extension Study Evaluating the Safety and Maintenance of Effect of Asenapine vs. Olanzapine in the Treatment of Subjects With Acute Mania Clinical Trial Protocol A7501006 (Secondary Title: ARES)

Bipolar disorder is characterized by mood swings that range from high (manic) to low (depressed) states. Sometimes, symptoms of both depression and mania are present (mixed episodes). Asenapine is an investigational medication for the treatment of manic or mixed episodes of bipolar disorder. Patients who completed the 3 week trial (A7601004 or A7501005) continued on the same treatment that they received in the short term study: asenapine or olanzapine (a medication already approved for the treatment of bipolar mania) for 9 additional weeks. The short term studies (A7501004 and A7501005) were not unblinded until the 9 week extension study was unblinded. Patients treated with placebo in the 3 week short term study were crossed over and treated with Asenapine in the 9 week extension study. Patients who complete the 9 week extension study were eligible to continue in another extension (A7501007) study for an additional 40 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. Maintenance of the effect (Asenapine comparable to olanzapine in terms of the reduction of symptoms achieved in the short term (ie. 3 week studies [A7501004 or A7501005]) as measured on the Young Mania Rating Scale

    Measured: The YMRS is administered at weeks 1, 3, 6 and 9 or endpoint.

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Changes on the Clinical Global Impression Scale in which Mania, Depression and Overall Status were assessed.

    Measured: The Global assessment at Weeks 1,3, 6 and 9 or endpoint

  2. Improvement in symptoms of depression (measured by the Montgomery Asberg Rating Scale of Depression - the MADRS), psychoses (Positive and Negative Symptoms Scale -- the PANSS) and suicidality (ISST-- The InsterSept Suicidality Scale)

    Measured: PANSS and MADRS administered at weeks 1,3,6 and 9 or endpoint; ISST administered at Weeks 1 and 6.

  3. Changes in the Quality of Life and the TSQM and changes in Readiness to Discharge Questionaire [RDQ]. The investigator's judgment was the basis for a decision to discharge the subject from the hospital.

    Measured: Quality of Life measures were administered at week 9 or endpoint and the RDQ was administered to inpatients at week 1, 3, 6 and 9.or endpoint.

  4. Physical exams and electrocardiograms findings; changes in vital signs, weight and abdominal girth and hematology and urinalysis.

    Measured: Physical exams and ECGs at Week 9 or endpoint; Vital signs, weight and abdominal girth at weeks 1, 3, 6 and 9 or endpoint; hematological parameters assessed at weeks 1 and 9 or endpoint; urinalysis was done at Week 9 or endpoint.

  5. Cognition -- the cognitive battery was the same battery that the subject had in the short term study in which they participated -- CNS Vital Signs for A7501005 and Cogstate for A7501004.

    Measured: The cognitive battery was done at Week 9 or endpoint

  6. Extrapyramidal symptoms were assessed using the AIMS (Involuntary Movement Scale); the BARS (Barnes Akathisia Rating Scale) and the SARS (Simpson Angus Rating Scale).

    Measured: Extrapyramidal symptoms were assessed at Week 9 or endpoint.

  7. Adverse events and concomitant medications were recorded

    Measured: Recorded at each visit (Weeks 1, 3, 6, 9 and endpoint)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Asenapine and Olanzapine in people with 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 1 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 15 Aug 2024. 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.

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?

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?

Maintenance of the effect (Asenapine comparable to olanzapine in terms of the reduction of symptoms achieved in the short term (ie. 3 week studies [A7501004 or A7501005]) as measured on the Young Mania Rating Scale (time frame: The YMRS is administered at weeks 1, 3, 6 and 9 or endpoint.). 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 NCT00143182, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Aug 2024.
