About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Multiple Oral Dose Study Assessing the Safety and Tolerability of SEP-363856 in Japanese Subjects With Schizophrenia

This is a multiple oral dose, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study assessing the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of SEP-363856 when administered qhs to Japanese subjects with schizophrenia.

Read the detailed description

This multicenter study will be conducted in 2 cohorts (Cohort 1 and 2). Cohort transition will be determined by the Safety Review Team (SRT) before the start of Cohort 2.

For each cohort, the target number of subjects completing the treatment period is defined as 8 for SEP-363856 group and 4 for placebo group. Subjects will be randomly assigned to either group. Dosing of the SEP-363856 group in Cohort 1 will be initiated at 50 mg SEP-363856 as an oral once daily dose for 3 consecutive days, followed by 75 mg SEP-363856 as an oral once daily dose for 4 consecutive days, and followed by 100 mg SEP-363856 as an oral once daily dose for 7 consecutive days. The SEP-363856 group in Cohort 2 will be dosed at 25 mg SEP-363856 as an oral once daily dose for 3 consecutive days, followed by 50 mg SEP-363856 as an oral once daily dose for 3 consecutive days, followed by 75 mg SEP-363856 as an oral once daily dose for 4 consecutive days, and followed by 100 mg SEP-363856 as an oral once daily dose for 7 consecutive days. In the placebo group, placebo will be orally administered according to the same administration schedule as the SEP-363856 group in each cohort.

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?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 9 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 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. 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 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 AEs, serious adverse events (SAEs), and AEs resulting in study discontinuation (time frame: 18 days). 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?
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.
