About this study
Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Group, Phase 2 Study of the Safety and Efficacy of ABT-126 in the Treatment of Cognitive Deficits in Schizophrenia (CDS)
This is an efficacy and safety study evaluating an experimental treatment for cognitive deficits in adults with schizophrenia.
Read the detailed description
This is a Phase 2 study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ABT-126 in approximately 210 adults with schizophrenia. Subjects will be randomized to one of three treatment groups (ABT-126 Dose 1, ABT-126 Dose 2 or placebo) for a 12-week Treatment Period. The purpose of this research study is to find out whether ABT-126 compared to placebo can improve cognition and what side effects ABT-126 may cause. Cognition is the way a person thinks, and it includes abilities like paying attention, focusing, remembering things, and solving problems. Acronyms listed in the Outcomes and/or Eligibility sections for this study are defined below: • MCCB: Measurement and Treatment Research to Improve Cognition in Schizophrenia (MATRICS) Consensus Cognitive Battery • UPSA-2: University of California at San Diego (UCSD) Performance-Based Skills Assessment-2 • CANTAB: Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery • PANSS: Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale • NSA-16: Negative Symptom Assessment-16 • CGI-S: Clinical Global Impression - Severity

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing ABT-126 in people with Cognitive Deficits in Schizophrenia, run by AbbVie (prior sponsor, Abbott) at 23 sites 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 5 inclusion and 8 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 6 Jun 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 23 sites 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. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
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?
Cognition: MCCB (time frame: Measurements from screening period through 12-week treatment period). 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 NCT01095562, which also lists 2 linked publications.
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 6 Jun 2018.
