About this study

Official title: A Phase 3b, Multicenter, Double-Blind, Fixed-Dose, Parallel-Group, Three Week Placebo Controlled Trial Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Asenapine in Subjects With Bipolar 1 Disorder Experiencing an Acute Manic or Mixed Episode (Protocol P05691 [Formerly 041044])

This trial will study the efficacy and safety of a fixed dose of asenapine in participants diagnosed with Bipolar 1 Disorder. Participants who qualify for the study will be randomly assigned to receive a fixed dose of asenapine (either 5 mg or 10 mg twice daily [BID]) or placebo (BID) for 3 weeks. Throughout the trial, observations will be made on each participant at various times to assess the safety and effectiveness of the study treatment. The primary hypothesis is that there is at least one dose of asenapine that is superior to placebo in the change from baseline in manic symptoms (as measured by Young Mania Rating Scale [YMRS]) at Day 21 of the trial.

Being tested
Asenapine, Placebo

What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Young Mania Rating Scale (Y-MRS) Total Score at Day 21

    Y-MRS consists of responses to the following 11 items: elevated mood, increased motor activity energy, sexual interest, sleep, language-thought disorder, appearance, insight, irritability, speech - rate and amount, content and disruptive-aggressive behavior. The scores from the 11 items are summed to give a total score ranging from 0 to 60, with a higher score indicating greater severity of symptoms. The analysis is based on a mixed model repeated measures (MMRM) model. An improvement in symptoms is represented by change from baseline values that are negative.

    Measured: Baseline and Day 21

Secondary outcomes (22)
  1. Change From Baseline in Clinical Global Impression - Bipolar Mania - Severity of Illness (CGI-BP-S) Overall Score at Day 21

    The CGI-BP-S is a score that measures the severity of overall bipolar illness. The score ranges on a scale from 1 to 7, where 1 is normal, and 7 is very severely ill. The analysis is based on a MMRM model. An improvement in symptoms is represented by change from baseline values that are negative.

    Measured: Baseline and Day 21

  2. Percentage of Participants Who Are Y-MRS Responders at Day 21

    Y-MRS consists of responses to the following 11 items: elevated mood, increased motor activity energy, sexual interest, sleep, language-thought disorder, appearance, insight, irritability, speech - rate and amount, content and disruptive-aggressive behavior. The scores from the 11 items are summed to give a total score ranging from 0 to 60, with a higher score indicating greater severity of symptoms. Missing data were imputed by Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF). Y-MRS responders are defined as having a >= 50% decrease from baseline in Y-MRS total score.

    Measured: Day 21

  3. Change From Baseline in Y-MRS Total Score at Day 2, Day 4, Day 7 and Day 14

    Y-MRS consists of responses to the following 11 items: elevated mood, increased motor activity energy, sexual interest, sleep, language-thought disorder, appearance, insight, irritability, speech - rate and amount, content and disruptive-aggressive behavior. The scores from the 11 items are summed to give a total score ranging from 0 to 60, with a higher score indicating greater severity of symptoms. The analysis is based on a MMRM model. An improvement in symptoms is represented by change from baseline values that are negative.

    Measured: Baseline and Day 2, Day 4, Day 7 and Day 14

  4. Percentage of Participants Who Are Y-MRS Responders at Day 2, Day 4, Day 7, Day 14

    Y-MRS consists of responses to the following 11 items: elevated mood, increased motor activity energy, sexual interest, sleep, language-thought disorder, appearance, insight, irritability, speech - rate and amount, content and disruptive-aggressive behavior. The scores from the 11 items are summed to give a total score ranging from 0 to 60, with a higher score indicating greater severity of symptoms. Missing data were imputed by LOCF. Y-MRS responders are defined as having a >= 50% decrease from baseline in Y-MRS total score.

    Measured: Day 2, Day 4, Day 7, Day 14

  5. Percentage of Participants Who Are Y-MRS Remitters at Day 21

    Y-MRS consists of responses to the following 11 items: elevated mood, increased motor activity energy, sexual interest, sleep, language-thought disorder, appearance, insight, irritability, speech - rate and amount, content and disruptive-aggressive behavior. The 11 items are summed to give a total score ranging from 0 to 60, with a higher score indicating greater severity of symptoms. Missing data were imputed by LOCF. Y-MRS remitters are defined as having a Y-MRS total score of 12 or lower.

    Measured: Day 21

  6. Percentage of Participants Who Are Y-MRS Remitters at Day 2, Day 4, Day 7, Day 14, Day 21

    Y-MRS consists of responses to the following 11 items: elevated mood, increased motor activity energy, sexual interest, sleep, language-thought disorder, appearance, insight, irritability, speech - rate and amount, content and disruptive-aggressive behavior. The scores from the 11 items are summed to give a total score ranging from 0 to 60, with a higher score indicating greater severity of symptoms. The analysis is based on a generalized linear mixed model (GLMM). Y-MRS remitters are defined as having a Y-MRS total score of 12 or lower.

    Measured: Day 2, Day 4, Day 7, Day 14, Day 21

  7. Change From Baseline in Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score

    The MADRS measures depression and consists of 10 items, each rated on a scale from 0 to 6. The MADRS total score sums the scores from the 10 items, ranging from 0 to 60, with a higher numeric rating implying a greater degree of symptom severity. Missing data were imputed by LOCF. An improvement in symptoms is represented by change from baseline values that are negative.

    Measured: Baseline and Day 7 and Day 21

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Asenapine in people with Bipolar 1 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 5 inclusion and 3 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 18 Jun 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. 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 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 24 Apr 2015). 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 in Young Mania Rating Scale (Y-MRS) Total Score at Day 21 (time frame: Baseline and Day 21). 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 NCT00764478, 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 18 Jun 2024.
