Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of SAGE-718 in Participants With Parkinson's Disease Mild Cognitive Impairment (PD-MCI) (NCT NCT04476017)

NCT ID: NCT04476017

Last Updated: 2025-09-15

Results Overview

An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered with a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of an IP whether or not related to the product. An AE can include any undesirable medical condition, even if no study treatment has been administered. TEAEs were defined as an AE with an onset date on or after the date of the first dose of IP or any worsening of a pre-existing medical condition/AE with onset after the start of IP and throughout the study. Percentages are rounded off to the nearest single decimal.

Population: Safety Set included all participants who were administered IP.

The C-SSRS scale consisted of a baseline evaluation (at screening) that assessed the lifetime experience of participants with suicidal ideation (SI) and suicidal behavior (SB) and a postbaseline evaluation that focused on suicidality since the last study visit. The C-SSRS included "yes" or "no"' responses for assessment of suicidal ideation and behavior as well as numeric ratings for the severity of ideation, if present (from 1 to 5, with 5 being the most severe). The C-SSRS SI items involved wish to be dead, non-specific active suicidal thoughts, active SI with any methods, active SI with some intent and active SI with a specific plan. The C-SSRS SB items involved preparatory acts or behavior, aborted attempt, interrupted attempt, actual attempt (non-fatal) and completed suicide. Percentage of participants with a response of 'yes' are reported for both suicidal ideation and behavior in this OM.
