What is being measured

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

  1. Mean Clinical Global Impression Severity Score (CGI-S) From Baseline Through End of Study- - Safety Population.

    Baseline is Day 1 of the study, prior to first dose. CGI-S is a questionnaire completed by the clinician which evaluates the severity of mental illness of a participant at a specific point in time. It consists of 7 categories with the lower categories indicating less illness and the higher numbered categories indicating greater severity of illness: 0=not assessed; 1=normal, not at all ill; 2=borderline mentally ill; 3= mildly ill; 4=moderately ill; 5= markedly ill; 6=severely ill; 7=among the most extremely ill.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 348

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Number of Participants With Death, Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Adverse Events (AEs), and Discontinuation Due to an AE - Safety Population

    AE=any new unfavorable symptom, sign, or disease or worsening of a preexisting condition that may not have a causal relationship with treatment. SAE=a medical event that at any dose results in death, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or drug dependency/abuse; is life-threatening, an important medical event, or a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or requires or prolongs hospitalization. Treatment-related=having certain, probable, possible, or missing relationship to study drug.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 348

  2. Mean Exposure to Aripiprazole at Days 541 to 630, Days 721 to 810 and Days 1081 to 1170 - Safety Population

    Mean exposure is mean number of milligrams per day (mg/day) of aripiprazole administered to the participants.

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 1170

  3. Number of Participants With Potentially Clinically Relevant Chemistry Laboratory Abnormalities During Treatment - Safety Population

    Clinically relevant abnormalities: greater than, equal to (>=); less than, equal to (<=). Upper limits of normal (ULN). milligram per deciliter (mg/dL); milliequivalent per liter (mEq/L); nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL);outside of normal range inclusive (): alanine transaminase (ALT>= 3*ULN; aspartate aminotransferase (AST >=3*ULN; alkaline phosphatase >=3*ULN; total bilirubin >= 2.0 mg/dL; blood urea nitrogen >= 30mg/dL; calcium (8.40 - 9.90 mg/dL); chloride (85.00 - 108.00 mEq/L); total cholesterol (140.0 - 200.0 mg/dL); cholesterol high density (HDL) and low density (LDL) lipoprotein (39.0 - 116.0 mg/dL); creatine kinase (15.0 - 170.0 U/L); creatinine >=2.0 mg/dL; prolactin (3.00 - 29.00 ng/mL); sodium (136.0 - 144.0 mEq/L); Glucose fasting (70.0 - 110.0 mg/dL); triglycerides (58.0 - 164.0 mg/dL; uric acid male >= 10.5, female >= 8.5mg/dL. Baseline is Day 1 of the study, prior to study drug administration.

    Measured: Baseline to end of study (Week 348)

  4. Number of Participants With Potentially Clinically Relevant Hematology Laboratory Abnormalities During Treatment - Safety Population

    Clinically relevant laboratory abnormality: Hemoglobin male <= 11.5 g/dL; female <= 9.5 g/dL. Hematocrit male <= 37 and 3 point decrease from baseline (BL); female <=32 and 3 point decrease from BL. Leukocytes <= 2800 mm^3 or >= 16000 mm^3; eosinophils >=10%. Baseline is Day 1 of the study, prior to study drug administration.

    Measured: Baseline to end of study (Week 348)

  5. Number of Participants With Potentially Clinically Relevant Vital Sign Abnormality During Treatment - Safety Population

    Vital signs include standing, sitting and supine systolic and diastolic blood pressure, measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and standing, sitting and supine heart rate, measured in beats per minute. Baseline (BL) is Day 1 of the study, prior to study drug administration. Criteria for identifying vital sign values as clinically relevant: Systolic blood pressure (criterion value=90-180 mmHg) change relative to baseline: increase of greater than, equal to (>=) 20; decrease of >= 20 mmHg. Diastolic blood pressure (criterion value=50 - 105 mmHg) change relative to baseline: increase of >= 15; decrease of >= 15 mmHg. Heart rate (criterion value=50-120bpm) change relative to baseline: increase >=15; decreased >= 15 mmHg. To be clinically significantly abnormal: value must meet the criterion value and also represent a change from the participant's pre-treatment value of at least the magnitude shown in the change relative to baseline.

    Measured: Baseline to end of study (Week 348)

  6. Number of Participants With Potentially Clinically Relevant ECG Abnormalities During Treatment - Safety Population

    Potentially clinically relevant abnormality or change relative to baseline: sinus tachycardia: >= 120 beats per minute (bpm) and increased >= 15 bpm; sinus bradycardia: <= 50 bpm and decrease >= 15 bpm; supraventricular tachycardia, ventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter: not present to present. First degree atrioventricular (A-V) block: PR interval(beginner of P wave to beginning of complex of Q, R, and S waves) >= 0.20 seconds (sec) and increase >= 0.05 sec; second and third degree A-V block, right bundle branch block (RBB) block, left bundle branch block (LBB) block: not present to present; other intraventricular block: QRS (complex of Q, R and S waves) >= 0.12 sec and increase >= 0.02 sec. Myocardial ischemia not present to present. QT interval with Bazett's correction (QTcB) or Fridericia's correction (QTcF) >= 450 milliseconds (msec) and elevation of 10% over baseline.

    Measured: Baseline to end of study (Week 348

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Aripiprazole in people with Schizophrenia, run by Otsuka Pharmaceutical Development & Commercialization, Inc. at 20 sites in 11 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 2 inclusion and 4 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 19 Dec 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 20 sites in France, South Africa, Canada, Croatia, Czechia and 6 more countries. 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 10 Jan 2014). 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?

Mean Clinical Global Impression Severity Score (CGI-S) From Baseline Through End of Study- - Safety Population. (time frame: Baseline to Week 348). 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 19 Dec 2014.
