What is being measured

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

  1. Multiple dose PK parameters for Lexapro when administered alone and coadministered with aripiprazole will be derived. Cmin for aripiprazole,dehydro-aripiprazole will be measured

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Safety will be based on review of AEs, VS, ECGs, physical exam, clinical labs

A Phase 1 study testing Escitalopram on days -7 to day 14; Aripiprazole dosed starting Day 1 to day 14: 3 days at 10 mg, 4 days at 15 mg and 7 days at 20 mg in people with Healthy, 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 2 inclusion and 2 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 8 Nov 2013. 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?

Multiple dose PK parameters for Lexapro when administered alone and coadministered with aripiprazole will be derived. Cmin for aripiprazole,dehydro-aripiprazole will be measured. 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 NCT00361790, 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 8 Nov 2013.
