What is being measured

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

Time to First Relapse During the First 52 Weeks of the Double-Blind Treatment Period
The time in days to first relapse is defined as the number of days from the date of randomization to the first relapse.
Measured: 52 Weeks
Number of Participants Experiencing Suicidal Ideation or Suicidal Behavior Based on Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) Using 5-Point Scales
On the C-SSRS, the 5 types of suicidal ideation are:
Type 1: "Wish to be dead" Type 2: Non-specific active suicidal thoughts Type 3: "Active suicidal ideation with any methods (not plan) without intent to act" Type 4: "Active suicidal ideation with some intent to act, without specific plan" Type 5: "Active suicidal ideation with specific plan and intent"
Measured: 104 Weeks

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 4 inclusion and 10 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 9 Mar 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 137 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 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 9 Mar 2020). 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?

Time to First Relapse During the First 52 Weeks of the Double-Blind Treatment Period (time frame: 52 Weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02951988.

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 9 Mar 2020.
