Trial Outcomes & Findings for Oral Aripiprazole Open-Label Rollover Study (NCT NCT01001702)

NCT ID: NCT01001702

Last Updated: 2013-09-27

Results Overview

An AE was defined as any new medical problem, or exacerbation of an existing problem, experienced by a subject. Change in clinical relevance (severity increased) was entered as a new AE in the current trial. Abnormal laboratory test findings were considered AEs if, in the opinion of the investigator, they represented an abnormal (clinically significant) change from baseline for that individual subject. An AE was considered serious if it was fatal; life-threatening; persistently or significantly disabling or incapacitating; required in-patient hospitalization or prolonged hospitalization; a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or other medically significant event that, based upon appropriate medical judgment, may have jeopardized the subject and may have required medical or surgical intervention. Additional information about Adverse Events can be found in the Adverse Event section.

Timeframe: Up to 72 months

Population: Safety population included all participants who received at least one dose of study drug.

An AE was defined as any new medical problem, or exacerbation of an existing problem, experienced by a subject. Change in clinical relevance (severity increased) was entered as a new AE in the current trial. Abnormal laboratory test findings were considered AEs if, in the opinion of the investigator, they represented an abnormal (clinically significant) change from baseline for that individual subject. An AE was considered serious if it was fatal; life-threatening; persistently or significantly disabling or incapacitating; required in-patient hospitalization or prolonged hospitalization; a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or other medically significant event that, based upon appropriate medical judgment, may have jeopardized the subject and may have required medical or surgical intervention.

The rater or investigator answered the following question: "Considering your total clinical experience with this particular population, how mentally ill is the patient at this time?" Response choices included: 0=not assessed; 1=normal (not at all ill); 2=borderline mentally ill; 3=mildly ill; 4=moderately ill; 5=markedly ill; 6=severely ill; 7=among the most extremely ill patients.

Creatine phosphokinase \> 500 U/L for participants 13-17 years or 3 times the upper limit of normal for participants ≥ 18 years \[Reference Range (0 to 190 IU/L (females) and 0 to 235 IU/L (males)\]. Eosinophils ≥ 10 %. Hematocrit \< 30 % for participants 13-17 years old or ≥ 18 year old participants female ≤ 32 % and a 3 point decrease from baseline or male ≤ 37 % and a 3 point decrease from baseline. Hemoglobin female ≤ 9.5 g/dL or male ≤ 11.5 g/dL. Prolactin \> 1 times the upper limit of normal \[Reference range: 2 to 18 ng/mL (males) and 3 to 30 ng/mL (females)\].

Population: All participants with available assessment.

The C-SSRS consisted of a baseline evaluation (completed at the first scheduled visit upon approval of protocol Amendment 3) that assessed the lifetime experience of the participant with suicide events and suicidal ideation and a post-baseline evaluation at each visit that focused on suicidality since the last trial visit. Some questions are yes/no and some are on a scale of 1 (low severity) to 5 (high severity). The number of participants experiencing suicidal ideation or suicidal behavior is reported.
