What is being measured

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

  1. The Change From Baseline at Day 85 in Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) Total Score

    The PANSS scale contains 30 questions, each containing an answer range of 1-7. A total PANSS score can range from between 30 to 210; a higher score indicates a worse disease condition.

    Measured: Data collected from baseline to day 85

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Clinical Global Impression - Improvement (CGI-I) Scores at Day 85

    The CGI-I is a 7-point scale that requires the clinician to assess how much the participant's illness has improved or worsened relative to a baseline state at the beginning of the study. Results indicate participants evaluated at one of the following categories: "1: very much improved"; "2: much improved"; "3: minimally improved"; "4: no change"; "5: minimally worse"; "6: much worse"; or "7: very much worse".

    Measured: 85 Days

A Phase 3 study testing ALKS 9072 in people with Schizophrenia, run by Alkermes, Inc. at 84 sites in 8 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 5 inclusion and 9 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 30 Jan 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 84 sites in United States, Russia, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Philippines and 3 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. 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 22 Jan 2016). 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?

The Change From Baseline at Day 85 in Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) Total Score (time frame: Data collected from baseline to day 85). 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 NCT01469039, which also lists 11 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 30 Jan 2019.
