Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to assess the long-term safety and tolerability of alprazolam extended release (XR) in adolescents with panic disorder, with or without agoraphobia, or in anxiety disorder with panic attacks. Efficacy, population pharmacokinetics of alprazolam XR and the relationship between alprazolam XR plasma concentrations and efficacy outcomes will also be evaluated.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Due to recruitment difficulties in this adolescent population, the clinical program for alprazolam XR was cancelled and this study was terminated on 1 September 2004. There were no safety concerns that led to this decision.
