Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The main objective of the trial was to evaluate the longer term safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of lurasidone, flexibly dosed at 20, 40, 60 or 80 mg/day in subjects with bipolar disorder who had either completed double-blind treatment or experienced a protocol-specified recurrence of any mood event during the Double-blind Phase in Study D1050296 (EudraCT No.: 2011-000986-10).
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted according to the protocol, International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP), ICH guidelines, and the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki. The study was conducted in accordance with applicable local law(s) and regulation(s). Use of nonprescription pain medications (eg, aspirin) was allowed during the study provided these medications did not have a propensity for psychotropic effects and did not interfere with the evaluation of study medication.
    Background therapy
    Prior and Concomitant Therapy: Potent inducers or inhibitors of the CYP3A4 enzyme system and any medications that consistently prolong the QTc interval were prohibited during the study. The use of herbal supplements or other complementary or alternative medications was not permitted during the study. Initiation of new psychotherapeutic interventions was permitted during the study. Subjects who participated in ongoing psychotherapy treatment during Study D1050296 were permitted to continue it during the study. Psychotropic Medications: Subjects may have been treated with benzodiazepines, or antidepressants (no CYP3A4 inhibitors/inducers), at the discretion of Investigator (Inv.) Monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors and other antipsychotic medications (exception: lurasidone) were prohibited. Benztropine (up to 6 mg/day) was permitted for movement disorders: if it was not available or if inadequate response or intolerability, the following medications were used to treat acute extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS): biperiden (up to 16 mg/day), trihexyphenidyl (up to 15 mg/day) or diphenhydramine (up to 100 mg/day). Propranolol (up to 120 mg/day) was permitted as needed for akathisia. Use of lorazepam, or equivalent benzodiazepine, was permitted at the discretion of Inv. (up to 6 mg/day) for intolerable anxiety/agitation. Oral benzodiazepines or rapid-acting IM injection were used sparingly (only when clinically required per Investigator judgment). Zolpidem (≤ 10 mg/day), zolpidem controlled release (≤ 12.5 mg/day), eszopiclone (≤ 3 mg/day), zaleplon (≤ 20 mg/day), and temazepam (≤ 30 mg/day) may have been used at bedtime for insomnia. Hypnotic agents were used max. once nightly and not in combination. If lorazepam or zolpidem or other medications not available, a similar agent at equivalent doses was permitted as specified by the Medical Monitor (MM) and/or the Operations Manual. Opiates were allowed rarely for a limited period of time with prior authorization from MM.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Subjects who had either completed double-blind treatment or experienced a protocol-specified recurrence of any mood event during the Double-blind Phase in study D1050296 had the option to participate in this study. Subjects who had at least entered the Open-label Phase of Study D1050296 when the Sponsor stopped the study were also eligible.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Of the 428 subjects who either completed the double-blind phase of the D1050296 study or had a recurrence of a mood event, 372 continued into this extension study: a total of 5 subjects who were receiving open-label study medication when the D1050296 study was stopped by the Sponsor also continued into this study. 338 subjects completed this study

    Dosage and administration details
    Subjects were initially treated with open-label lurasidone 40 mg/day (Day 1). Dose adjustment of study drug (20, 40, 60 or 80 mg/day) was to occur at the regularly scheduled visits and in increments/decrements of 1 dose level. If dose adjustment was required in between regular study visits, the subject came in for an unscheduled visit and returned all used/unused medication kits at the time of dose adjustment. Dose reductions for tolerability or safety purposes were permitted to occur starting on the second day of extension study treatment (Day 2). These dose reductions may have occurred more frequently than the regular study visits and at more than 1 dose level at a time (maximum of 2 dose levels at a time) to optimize effectiveness and tolerability, based on Investigator judgment. Subjects were treated with open-label lithium or divalproex for the duration of the study and were treated with the same drug (either lithium or divalproex) they received in the D1050296 study.

    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: This is the extension study of Study D1050296 (EudraCT No.: 2011-000986-10): every subject took lurasidone during this extension study, and thus only one treatment group is reported and no statistical analyses could be performed.

    The QIDS-SR16 is a 16-item self-report measure of depressive symptomatology which uses a computerized assessment interface for administration. The scoring system for the QIDS-SR16 converts responses to 16 separate items into nine DSM-IV symptom criterion domains. The nine domains comprise: depressed mood (Item 5); concentration/decision making (Item 10); self outlook (Item 11); suicidal ideation (Item 12); decreased interest (Item 13); decreased energy (Item 14); sleep disturbance (initial, middle, and late insomnia or hypersomnia) (highest score of Items 1 to 4); appetite/weight disturbance (highest score of Items 6 to 9); and psychomotor disturbance (highest score of Items 15 and 16). The QIDS-SR16 total score is calculated as the sum of the 9 domain scores. The QIDS-SR16 total score ranges from 0 to 27 with a high score indicating more severe symptoms.

    The PANSS-P is a subset of items in the PANSS, an interview-based measure of the severity of psychopathology in adults with psychotic disorders. The measure contains seven questions to assess delusions, conceptual disorganization, hallucinations behavior, excitement, grandiosity, suspiciousness/persecution, and hostility. An anchored Likert scale from 1-7, where values of 2 and above indicate the presence of progressively more severe symptoms, is used to score each item. The PANSS-P subscale score is the sum of the 7 items and ranges from 7 through 49. A higher score is associated with greater illness severity.
