About this study

Official title: A 2-Part Ascending Multiple Oral Dose, Open-Label Study Assessing the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of SEP-363856 in Japanese Male and Female Subjects With Schizophrenia.

This is a multiple oral dose, open-label study to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of SEP-363856 in Japanese subjects with schizophrenia.

Read the detailed description

This multicenter study will be conducted in 2 parts (Part 1 and 2). This is an ascending multiple oral dose, open-label study assessing the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of SEP-363856 in male and female subjects with schizophrenia. In part 1, subjects will have up to two visits, including a screening visit, and a 17-day in-clinic period. Eligible subjects will be admitted to the clinic on Day -4 to start or complete a taper/washout of their prior antipsychotic medication(s) under the supervision of the Investigator. On Day 1, after subjects have successfully completed the taper/washout of prior medication, subjects will be administered SEP 363856, and dosing with SEP 363856 will continue once-daily for 10 days in-clinic dosing. From Day 11 through Day 13, inclusive, subjects will be restabilized on their adequate antipsychotic medication(s) before clinic discharge on Day 14. Some subjects may require a longer restabilization process based on Investigator judgment. Subjects who discontinue the study prior to Day 13 will require an in-clinic stay for 3 days (or longer based on Investigator judgment) for restabilization on prior medications. In Part 2, Subjects will have up to two visits, including a screening visit, and a 21-day in-clinic period. Eligible subjects will be admitted to the clinic on Day -4 to start or complete a taper/washout of their prior antipsychotic medication(s) under the supervision of the Investigator. On Day 1, after subjects have successfully completed the taper/washout of prior medication, subjects will be administered SEP 363856, and dosing with SEP 363856 will continue once-daily for 14 days in-clinic dosing. From Day 15 through Day 17, inclusive, subjects will be restabilized on their adequate antipsychotic medication(s) before clinic discharge on Day 18. Some subjects may require a longer restabilization process based on Investigator judgment. Subjects who discontinue the study by Day 17 will require an in-clinic stay for 3 days (or longer based on Investigator judgment) for restabilization on prior medications.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing SEP-363856 in people with Schizophrenia, run by Sumitomo Pharma Co., Ltd. at 8 sites in Japan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 Apr 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in Japan. 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?

Frequency of adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), and AEs resulting in study discontinuation. (time frame: Two weeks in part 1, 3 weeks in part 2.). 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 Apr 2022.
