What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • PF-03654746Drug

    20-day dose titration phase: all dosages in capsules starting at 0.25 mg qd x 5 d, then 0.5 mg qd x 5 d, then 1.0 mg qd x 5 d, then 2.0 mg qd x 5 d. If a subject has intolerable, severe, or serious AEs after taking 2 mg qd for 1 to 5 days of dosing, the dose will be decreased by the investigator to 1 mg qd. If, in the investigator's opinion, the subject is determined to be unlikely to tolerate continued dosing at a dose of 1 mg qd, the subject should be discontinued from the study. Subjects remaining in the study will proceed to the 3-week Stable Dosing Phase; doses will be 2 mg daily x 21 days or 1 mg daily x 21 days.

  • PlaceboDrug

    once daily dosing of placebo capsules following the dosing scheme described in 1.1.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Total Tic Score (Yale Global Tic Severity Scale) from baseline (D0) to end of the 3 wk stable dosing phase (D41)(primary). Average of the 2 assessments of Total Tic Score in 3 wk stable dosing phase is secondary. Score 0-50 (50 = severe)

    Measured: Period 1: Days 0, 10, 20, 34, 41; Period 2: Days 0, 10, 20, 34, 41

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Change in Tic Symptom Self Report from baseline to end of 3-wk stable dosing phase (primary); average of 2 assessments of TSSR during 3-wk stable dosing phase is 2ndary. Each symptom is scored 0-3; higher score is worse.

    Measured: Period 1: Days 0, 10, 20, 34, 41; Period 2: Days 0, 10, 20, 34, 41

  2. Change in Premonitory Urge for Tic Scale from baseline to end of 3-wk stable dosing phase (primary); average of 2 assessments of PUTS during 3-wk stable dosing phase is 2ndary. Score 9-36; higher score is worse.

    Measured: Period 1: Days 0, 10, 20, 34, 41; Period 2: Days 0, 10, 20, 34, 41

  3. Change in Clinical Global Impression of Severity from baseline to end of 3-wk stable dosing phase. Score 1-7; higher scores indicate more severity.

    Measured: Period 1, Days 0, 41; Period 2: Days 0, 41

  4. Change in Clinical Global Impression of Improvement from baseline to end of 3-wk stable dosing phase (primary); average of 2 assessments during 3-wk stable dosing phase is 2ndary. Score 1-7; higher score is worse.

    Measured: Period 1: Days 10, 20, 34, 41; Period 2: Days 10, 20, 34, 41

  5. Change in Conners' Continuous Performance Test II from baseline to end of 3-wk stable dosing phase. Calculated T-scores (under 40 to 65 and over); higher score is worse.

    Measured: Period 1: Days 0, 20, 41; Period 2: Days 0, 20, 41

  6. Change in Medical Outcomes Study--Sleep Scale from baseline to end of 3-wk stable dosing phase. Score 0-100; a higher score reflect greater amount of quality implied by subscale name.

    Measured: Period 1: Days 0, 10, 20, 34, 41; Period 2: Days 0, 10, 20, 34, 41

  7. Change in Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale from baseline to end of 3-wk stable dosing phase.

    Measured: Screening; Period 1: Days 0, 10, 20, 34, 41; Period 2: Days 0, 10, 20, 34, 41

  8. Suicide Behaviors Questionnaire-Revised. Total score greater than 8 require assessment by clinician or mental health professional skilled in evaluation of suicidality.

    Measured: Up to 21 days prior to Baseline (Day 0)

  9. Change in Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale from baseline to end of 3-wk stable dosing phase. Items 1-10 have score range of 0-40; higher score is worse.

    Measured: Period 1: Days 0, 41; Period 2: Days 0, 41

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing PF-03654746 in people with Tourette's Syndrome, run by Pfizer 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 3 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Apr 2019. 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. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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 in Total Tic Score (Yale Global Tic Severity Scale) from baseline (D0) to end of the 3 wk stable dosing phase (D41)(primary). Average of the 2 assessments of Total Tic Score in 3 wk stable dosing phase is secondary. Score 0-50 (50 = severe) (time frame: Period 1: Days 0, 10, 20, 34, 41; Period 2: Days 0, 10, 20, 34, 41). 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 1 Apr 2019.
