What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Discontinuation Due to AEs and Deaths
An AE was defined as any new medical problem, or exacerbation of an existing problem, experienced by a subject. Change in clinical relevance (severity increased) was entered as a new AE in the current trial. Abnormal laboratory test findings were considered AEs if, in the opinion of the investigator, they represented an abnormal (clinically significant) change from baseline for that individual subject.
An AE was considered serious if it was fatal; life-threatening; persistently or significantly disabling or incapacitating; required in-patient hospitalization or prolonged hospitalization; a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or other medically significant event that, based upon appropriate medical judgment, may have jeopardized the subject and may have required medical or surgical intervention.
Additional information about Adverse Events can be found in the Adverse Event section.
Measured: Up to 72 months
Secondary outcomes (7)
Change From Baseline in Clinical Global Impression Severity of Illness (CGI-S) Score
The rater or investigator answered the following question:
"Considering your total clinical experience with this particular population, how mentally ill is the patient at this time?" Response choices included: 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 patients. A negative change from Baseline indicated improvement
Measured: Baseline, Last Visit (Up to 72 Months)
Number of Participants With Clinical Significant Laboratory Tests
Blood was collected for Fasting clinical laboratory tests (serum chemistry and hematology) at Baseline, Months 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 72 and were analyzed at a central laboratory.
Clinically significant values are defined as the following:
Bilirubin, total ≥ 2.0 mg/dL. Creatine phosphokinase > 500 U/L for participants 13-17 years or 3 times the upper limit of normal for participants ≥ 18 years [Reference Range (0 to 190 IU/L (females) and 0 to 235 IU/L (males)].
Eosinophils ≥ 10 %. Hematocrit < 30 % for participants 13-17 years old or ≥ 18 year old participants female ≤ 32 % and a 3 point decrease from baseline or male ≤ 37 % and a 3 point decrease from baseline.
Hemoglobin female ≤ 9.5 g/dL or male ≤ 11.5 g/dL. Prolactin > 1 times the upper limit of normal [Reference range: 2 to 18 ng/mL (males) and 3 to 30 ng/mL (females)].
Measured: Baseline, Up to 72 Months
Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Heart Rate
Heart rate was measured at Baseline and at each visit supine (lying on the back) and standing. A heart rate increase is an increase of ≥ 15 beats per minute (bpm) compared to Baseline. A heart rate decrease is a decrease of ≥ 15 bpm compared to Baseline.
Measured: Baseline, Up to 72 months
Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Blood Pressure
Systolic and Diastolic blood pressure was measured at Baseline and at all visits supine (lying on the back) and standing.
Systolic increase was an increase of ≥ 20 mm Hg compared to Baseline and systolic decrease was a decrease of ≥ 20 mm Hg compared to Baseline.
A diastolic increase was an increase of ≥ 15 mm Hg compared to Baseline and a diastolic decrease was a decrease of ≥ 15 mm Hg compared to Baseline.
Measured: Baseline, Up to 72 months
Number of Participants With Clinically Abnormal Changes in Electrocardiograms (ECGs) Evaluations
A 12-lead ECG was recorded at Baseline, Months 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60 and 72. Three readings taken 5 minutes were read by a central ECG reading service and averaged.
Clinically significant ECGs were defined as:
Sinus Bradycardia: ≤ 50 beats per minute (bpm), decrease of ≥ 15 bpm from Baseline.
Supraventricular premature beat: ≥ 2 per 10 seconds, increase from Baseline. Ventricular premature beat: ≥ 1 per 10 seconds, increase from Baseline. Right bundle branch block: present. Other intraventricular block: QRS ≥ 0.10 seconds for age 13-17 years or QRS ≥ 0.11 seconds for age ≥ 18 years, an increase of ≥ 0.02 seconds from Baseline.
Symmetrical T-wave inversion: present. QTcB (QT interval corrected Bazett's formula), QTcF (QT interval corrected Fridericia's formula), QTcN (QT corrected FDA Neuropharmacology Division formula), QTcE (QT corrected fractional exponent correction method: ≥ 420 msec for age 13-17 years or ≥ 450 msec for age ≥ 18 years, ≥ 10 % increase from Baseline.
Measured: Baseline, Up to 72 months
Number of Participants Showing Significant Weight Gain or Loss
Weight was measured at Baseline, Months 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60, 66, and 72. A clinically significant weight gain was defined as a ≥ 7 % increase from Baseline. A clinically significant Weight loss was defined as a ≥ 7% decrease from Baseline.
Measured: Baseline, Up to 72 months
Number of Participants Experiencing Suicidal Ideation or Suicidal Behavior Based on Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)
The C-SSRS consisted of a baseline evaluation (completed at the first scheduled visit upon approval of protocol Amendment 3) that assessed the lifetime experience of the participant with suicide events and suicidal ideation and a post-baseline evaluation at each visit that focused on suicidality since the last trial visit. Some questions are yes/no and some are on a scale of 1 (low severity) to 5 (high severity). The number of participants experiencing suicidal ideation or suicidal behavior is reported.
Measured: Baseline, Up to 72 months

A Phase 3 study testing Aripiprazole in people with Schizophrenia, run by Otsuka Pharmaceutical Development & Commercialization, Inc. at 15 sites in 6 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 1 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 27 Sep 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 15 sites in India, Russia, Argentina, Serbia, Ukraine and 1 more country. 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 27 Sep 2013). 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?
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Discontinuation Due to AEs and Deaths (time frame: Up to 72 months). 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 27 Sep 2013.
