Trial summary

This study will assess asenapine (Sycrest®) use in participants with bipolar disorder; comparison will be made to the use of risperidone (RISPERDAL®CONSTA®) and olanzapine (Zyprexa®). The occurrence of identified and potential clinically important risks will also be assessed. Read more about this study

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Participants with Bipolar Disorder codes who are included in the United Kingdom Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) and, if required, The Health Improvement Network (THIN) database. If pre-specified sample size and exposure criteria are met, secondary objectives will be conducted in 2 separate study populations: 1. Participants treated with asenapine and diagnosed with schizophrenia and no prior and/or concomitant diagnosis of bipolar disorder; 2. Participants treated with asenapine with no prior and/or concomitant diagnoses of bipolar disorder or schizophrenia, but diagnosed with i) Alzheimer's disease, ii) other diagnoses - mental disorders or iii) no diagnosis.

Who may be able to join

  • A diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder
  • A diagnosis of schizophrenia

Who cannot join

  • None
  • A prior and/or concomitant diagnosis of bipolar disease

About this study

Official title: An Observational Post-Authorization Safety Surveillance (PASS) Study of Sycrest® (Asenapine) Among Patients Aged 18 and Older Diagnosed With Bipolar Disorder

This study will assess asenapine (Sycrest®) use in participants with bipolar disorder; comparison will be made to the use of risperidone (RISPERDAL®CONSTA®) and olanzapine (Zyprexa®). The occurrence of identified and potential clinically important risks will also be assessed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants with Bipolar Disorder with Identified and Potential Clinically Important Risks

    Identified and potential clinically important risks will include: extrapyramidal symptoms, somnolence and sedation, neuroleptic malignant syndrome, rhabdomyolysis, seizure, hyperprolactinaemia, orthostatic hypotension, neutropenia, allergic reactions, dyslipidaemia and diabetes mellitus with the use of asenapine versus risperidone or olanzapine

    Measured: Approximately 1 year

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Participants with Schizophrenia with Identified and Potential Clinically Important Risks

    When enrollment and participant exposure reaches a level that adequate power (80%) is achieved according to pre-defined power calculations, risk incidence with use of asenapine in participants diagnosed with schizophrenia with no prior and/or concomitant diagnosis of bipolar disorder will be analyzed. Identified and potential clinically important risks will include: extrapyramidal symptoms, somnolence and sedation, neuroleptic malignant syndrome, rhabdomyolysis, seizure, hyperprolactinaemia,orthostatic hypotension, neutropenia, allergic reactions, dyslipidaemia and diabetes mellitus with the use of asenapine versus risperidone or olanzapine

    Measured: Approximately 1 year

  2. Number of Participants without Diagnoses of Schizophrenia or Bipolar Disorder with Identified and Potential Clinically Important Risks

    When enrollment and participant exposure reaches a level that adequate power (80%) is achieved according to pre-defined power calculations, risk incidence with use of asenapine in participants with no prior and/or concomitant diagnoses of bipolar disorder or schizophrenia, but diagnosed with i) Alzheimer's disease, ii) other diagnoses - mental disorders or iii) no diagnosis, will be analyzed. Identified and potential clinically important risks will include: extrapyramidal symptoms, somnolence and sedation, neuroleptic malignant syndrome, rhabdomyolysis, seizure, hyperprolactinaemia,orthostatic hypotension, neutropenia, allergic reactions, dyslipidaemia and diabetes mellitus with the use of asenapine

    Measured: Approximately 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia, 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 2 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 4 Feb 2022. 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

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?

Number of Participants with Bipolar Disorder with Identified and Potential Clinically Important Risks (time frame: Approximately 1 year). 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 4 Feb 2022.
