Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy and Safety of Asenapine Treatment for Pediatric Bipolar Disorder (P06107 Has an Extension [P05898; NCT01349907])(P06107) (NCT NCT01244815)

NCT ID: NCT01244815

Last Updated: 2024-06-20

Results Overview

The Y-MRS is an 11-item clinician-rated instrument for assessing the severity of manic episodes. A severity rating is assigned to each of the 11 items (Elevated mood, Increased motor activity-energy, Sexual interest, Sleep, Irritability, Speech, Language-thought disorder, Thought content, Disruptive-aggressive behavior, Appearance, Insight), based on the participant's subjective report of his or her condition over the previous 48 hours and the clinician's observations during the interview, with the emphasis on the latter. Seven of the 11 items are rated on a scale of 0-4 and 4 of the items are rated on a scale of 0-8, with higher scores indicating greater severity of symptoms. The Y-MRS total score for each participant is the sum of the ratings for the 11 individual items, and can range from 0-60, with higher scores indicating greater severity of symptoms. The reported measure is the change from baseline at Day 21; improvement in symptoms is represented by negative values.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Day 21

Population: Randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug and had both a baseline and at least 1 post-baseline on-treatment Y-MRS total score (this group is termed the efficacy Full Analysis Set \[FAS\]); also, to be included an on-treatment Day 21 value of Y-MRS total score must be available for a participant.

The Y-MRS is an 11-item clinician-rated instrument for assessing the severity of manic episodes. A severity rating is assigned to each of the 11 items (Elevated mood, Increased motor activity-energy, Sexual interest, Sleep, Irritability, Speech, Language-thought disorder, Thought content, Disruptive-aggressive behavior, Appearance, Insight), based on the participant's subjective report of his or her condition over the previous 48 hours and the clinician's observations during the interview, with the emphasis on the latter. Seven of the 11 items are rated on a scale of 0-4 and 4 of the items are rated on a scale of 0-8, with higher scores indicating greater severity of symptoms. The Y-MRS total score for each participant is the sum of the ratings for the 11 individual items, and can range from 0-60, with higher scores indicating greater severity of symptoms. The reported measure is the change from baseline at Day 21; improvement in symptoms is represented by negative values.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Day 21

Population: Randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug and had both a baseline and at least 1 post-baseline on-treatment Y-MRS total score (this group is termed the efficacy FAS); also, to be included a baseline and an on-treatment Day 21 value of CGI-BP overall score must be available for a participant.

Change from baseline in CGI-BP overall score at Day 21 is the Key Secondary Outcome Measure. The CGI-BP is a clinician-rated instrument for assessing bipolar illness that includes subscales assessing mania and depression. This measure reports one item within the CGI-BP, which is a 7-point scale assessing the severity of the participant's overall bipolar illness, with ratings from 1=normal, not ill to 7=very severely ill. The reported measure is the change from baseline at Day 21; improvement in symptoms is represented by negative values.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Days 4, 7, 14 and 21

Population: Randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug and had both a baseline and at least 1 post-baseline on-treatment Y-MRS total score (this group is termed the efficacy FAS); also, to be included for a visit, a Y-MRS total score must be available for that visit or a prior post-baseline on-treatment visit

A total Y-MRS 50% responder was defined as a participant who had a reduction from baseline to the identified study visit of at least 50% in the Y-MRS total score. The Y-MRS is an 11-item clinician-rated instrument for assessing the severity of manic episodes. A severity rating is assigned to each of the 11 items, based on the participant's subjective report of his or her condition over the previous 48 hours and the clinician's observations during the interview, with the emphasis on the latter. The Y-MRS total score for each participant is the sum of the ratings for the 11 individual items, and can range from 0-60 with higher scores indicating greater severity of symptoms. This analysis used a Last-Observation-Carried-Forward (LOCF) approach; if at a given visit no Y-MRS total score was available for determining whether a participant was a responder, the last available post-baseline on-treatment assessment prior to that visit was used.

The CGI-BP is a clinician-rated instrument for assessing bipolar illness that includes subscales assessing mania and depression. This measure reports one item within the CGI-BP, which is a 7-point scale assessing the severity of the depression component of the participant's bipolar illness, with ratings from 1=normal, not ill to 7=very severely ill. The reported measure is the change from baseline at Day 7; improvement in symptoms is represented by negative values.

CGAS is a 100-point scale measuring psychological, social, and school functioning in children aged 6-17. Minimum scores ranged from 1-10, representing the need for constant supervision (worse result) to maximum scores of 91-100, representing superior functioning (better result). The reported measure is the change from baseline at Day 21; improvement in functioning is represented by positive values. This analysis used an LOCF approach; if no Day 21 value was available for a participant, the last available post-baseline on-treatment assessment prior to the Day 21 assessment was used.

PQ-LES-Q is a questionnaire to assess quality of life enjoyment and satisfaction in children and adolescents. The participant is asked to rate 15 items reflecting quality of life with respect to the previous week on a scale of 1=very poor to 5=very good. Items 1-14 assess specific areas (e.g., your health, your mood or feelings); Item 15 is a global assessment of overall quality of life. The PQ-LES-Q total score for each participant was calculated as the sum of the rating assigned to each of the first 14 items, and ranged from 14 to 70 with a higher score indicating better quality of life. The reported measure is the change from baseline at Day 21; improvement in quality of life is represented by positive values. This analysis used an LOCF approach; if no Day 21 value was available for a participant, the last available post-baseline on-treatment assessment prior to the Day 21 assessment was used.
