Trial Outcomes & Findings for Long-term Extension Trial of Asenapine in Subjects With Schizophrenia (Study P06125) (NCT NCT01142596)

NCT ID: NCT01142596

Last Updated: 2024-05-28

Results Overview

For each participant, change in weight from preceding 6-week double-blind Study P06124 baseline to the final assessment of extension study P06125 was determined (calculated as final assessment value minus baseline value). Final assessment was last evaluation of participant in study, whether participant completed or did not complete study. Participants were allocated to categories of percentage change from defined baseline to final assessment.

Placebo/Asenapine
Participants in this group had received double-blind placebo BID in preceding study P06124 (NCT01098110), and continued on same double-blind dose for first 2 weeks of extension study P06125, then took double-blind asenapine 5 mg BID for 4 weeks, after which were re-randomized to open label asenapine 5 or 10 mg BID for 46 weeks. Open label dose could be adjusted using dose options of 5 and 10 mg BID for efficacy and tolerability
Asenapine 5/10 mg BID
Participants in this group had received double-blind asenapine 5 or 10 mg BID in preceding study P06124, and continued on same double-blind dose for first 6 weeks of extension study P06125, after which were re-randomized to open label asenapine 5 or 10 mg BID for 46 weeks. Open label dose could be adjusted using dose options of 5 and 10 mg BID for efficacy and tolerability

This measure reports the overall number of participants with any of a group of adverse events that were defined to represent extrapyramidal symptoms. The number of participants with each of the individual adverse events within this definition is also presented, for terms that occurred in at least one participant. For this measure, all adverse event terms within the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) Standardized MedDRA Query (SMQ) for "extrapyramidal syndrome" were treated as extrapyramidal symptoms.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Study P06124 baseline and P06125 study from Day 1 up to Week 52

Population: All participants randomized in study P06125 who received at least one dose of study drug, and had data for measure at study P06124 baseline and study P06125 endpoint assessment

Change in DIEPSS Total Score from preceding 6-week double-blind Study P06124 baseline to endpoint assessment of extension study P06125 was determined (calculated as endpoint value minus baseline value). Endpoint assessment was last evaluation of participant for this measure in study, whether participant completed or did not complete study. DIEPSS is a scale, rated by the investigator or rater appointed by the investigator, used to evaluate the severity of drug induced extrapyramidal symptoms occurring during antipsychotic drug treatment. It consists of 9 items: Items 1 through 8 assess individual symptoms; Item 9 is an assessment of global severity. Items 1 through 8 are classified into 4 categories of parkinsonism, akathisia, dystonia and dyskinesia. Each item is rated from 0 (none, normal) to 4 (severe). The Total Score is the sum of scores on Items 1 through 8, with a range from 0 (normal) to 32 (severe). Negative values of change from baseline represent improvement in symptoms.

An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered study drug and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the study drug. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with study drug administration, whether or not considered related to study drug. A serious AE (SAE) is any AE occurring at any dose that results in death, is life-threatening, results in hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or is a congenital anomaly/birth defect. In addition, an important medical event that may not result in death, be life-threatening, or require hospitalization may be considered an SAE when it may jeopardize the participant and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed in this definition.

Population: All participants randomized in study P06125 who received at least one dose of study drug, had PANSS measurement at P06125 baseline and at least one post-baseline PANSS measurement, and were study P06124 Responders

Median time to loss of effect from P06125 extension study baseline was estimated using Kaplan-Meier product-limit method. Result reported in Responders, participants with ≥30% decrease from study P06124 baseline in Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS, schizophrenia symptom scale) Total Score at the end of study P06124. Investigator or subinvestigator was to determine whether the study drug failed to maintain effect based on occurrence of any of the following: 1) Increase in PANSS Total Score ≥30% from P06125 extension study baseline, 2) Determination that participant's schizophrenic symptomatology had deteriorated requiring one or more of defined interventions (add new antipsychotic drug, increase in level of psychiatric outpatient care, or hospitalization/increase in level of hospitalization for psychiatric need), 3) Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) score ≥6, 4) Discontinuation from study because of lack of efficacy, 5) AE/SAE of worsening of schizophrenia.
