Receives: Drug: Aripiprazole
Cohort 2ExperimentalAripiprazole; single; gluteal
Receives: Drug: Aripiprazole

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of Adverse Events (AEs) [safety and tolerability]

    AEs will be monitored to assess safety and tolerability of drug

    Measured: Screening Days -30 to Day 182 post dose/Early Termination

  2. Clinical Laboratory Tests [safety and tolerability]

    Hematology, clinical chemistry \& urinalysis tests will be performed to assess the safety and tolerability of drug.

    Measured: Screening Days -30 to Day 182 post dose/Early Termination

  3. Electrocardiograms (ECGs) [Safety and tolerability]

    Heart rate, RR, PR, WRS and WT intervals will be monitored to assess the safety and tolerability of the drug.

    Measured: Screening Days -30 to Day 182 post dose/Early Termination

  4. Vital Signs [safety and tolerability]

    Systolic/diastolic blood pressure, heart rate and body temperature will be monitored to assess the safety and tolerability of the drug.

    Measured: Screening Days -30 to Day 182 post dose/Early Termination

  5. Suicidality via Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) [safety and tolerability]

    C-SSRS score will be monitored throughout the trial to assess the safety and tolerability of drug

    Measured: Screening Days -30 to Day 182 post dose/Early Termination

  6. Extrapyramidal Symptoms (EPS) Rating Scales

    EPS score will be monitored to assess safety and tolerability of drug

    Measured: Screening Days -30 to Day 182 post dose/Early Termination

  7. Investigator's Assessment of Injection Site

    The injection site will be monitored to assess the safety and tolerability of drug

    Measured: Screening Days -30 to Day 182 post dose/Early Termination

  8. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Scores for Pain Perception

    VAS score will be monitored to assess safety and tolerability of drug

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 28 post dose

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Pharmacokinetics - Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax)

    The maximum plasma concentration of drug at injection site will be assessed for plasma Aripiprazole and its major metabolite dehydro-aripiprazole

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 182/Early Termination

  2. Pharmacokinetics - time of maximum plasma concentration (tmax)

    The amount of time that the maximum plasma concentration of drug at injection site will be assessed for plasma Aripiprazole and its major metabolite dehydro-aripiprazole

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 182/Early Termination

  3. Pharmacokinetics - area under concentration-time curve (AUC) calculated from time zero to time t (AUCt)

    AUCt will be assessed for plasma Aripiprazole and its major metabolite dehydro-aripiprazole to determine average concentration of drug over time

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 182/Early Termination

  4. Pharmacokinetics - AUC calculated from time to infinity

    AUCinfinity will be assessed for plasma Aripiprazole and its major metabolite dehydro-aripiprazole to determine total drug exposure over time

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 182/Early Termination

  5. Pharmacokinetics - Terminal-phase elimination half-life (t1/2,z)

    t1/2,z will be assessed for plasma Aripiprazole and its major metabolite dehydro-aripiprazole to determine drug persistence in the body

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 182/Early Termination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Aripiprazole in people with Schizophrenia, run by Otsuka Pharmaceutical Development & Commercialization, Inc. at 3 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 4 inclusion and 13 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 12 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 3 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. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Incidence of Adverse Events (AEs) [safety and tolerability] (time frame: Screening Days -30 to Day 182 post dose/Early Termination). The study lists 8 primary outcomes in all. 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 12 Jun 2018.
