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   44339   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7369   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
    This trial will study the efficacy and safety of a fixed dose of asenapine in participants diagnosed with Bipolar 1 Disorder. Participants who qualify for the study will be randomly assigned to receive a fixed dose of asenapine (either 5 mg or 10 mg twice daily [BID]) or placebo (BID) for 3 weeks. Throughout the trial, observations will be made on each participant at various times to assess the safety and effectiveness of the study treatment. The primary hypothesis is that there is at least one dose of asenapine that is superior to placebo in the change from baseline in manic symptoms (as measured by Young Mania Rating Scale [YMRS]) at Day 21 of the trial.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in conformance with Good Clinical Practice standards and applicable country and/or local statutes and regulations regarding ethical committee review, informed consent, and the protection of human subjects participating in biomedical research.

    End point title
    		 Change from baseline in Young Mania Rating Scale (Y-MRS) total score at Day 21
    End point description
    Y-MRS consists of responses to the following 11 items: elevated mood, increased motor activity energy, sexual interest, sleep, language-thought disorder, appearance, insight, irritability, speech - rate and amount, content and disruptive-agressive behavior. The scores from the 11 items are summed to give a total score ranging from 0 to 60, with a higher score indicating greater severity of symptoms. Results reported for all randomized participants who received at least one dose of trial medication and had at least one baseline and post-baseline measurement. The analysis is based on a mixed model repeated measures (MMRM) model. An improvement in symptoms is represented by change from baseline values that are negative.

    		 Change from baseline in Clinical Global Impression – Bipolar Mania – Severity of Illness (CGI-BP-S) overall score at Day 21
    End point description
    The CGI-BP-S is a score that measures the severity of overall bipolar illness. The score ranges on a scale from 1 to 7, where 1 is normal, and 7 is very severely ill. Results reported for all randomized participants who received at least one dose of trial medication and had at least one baseline and post-baseline measurement. One participant from the Placebo BID arm missed a baseline measurement. The analysis is based on a MMRM model. An improvement in symptoms is represented by change from baseline values that are negative.

    End point description
    Y-MRS consists of responses to the following 11 items: elevated mood, increased motor activity energy, sexual interest, sleep, language-thought disorder, appearance, insight, irritability, speech - rate and amount, content and disruptive-agressive behavior. The scores from the 11 items are summed to give a total score ranging from 0 to 60, with a higher score indicating greater severity of symptoms. Results reported for all randomized participants who received at least one dose of trial medication and had at least one baseline and post-baseline measurement, and had evaluable post-baseline measurement at timepoint. Missing data were imputed by LOCF. Y-MRS responders are defined as having a >= 50% decrease from baseline in Y-MRS total score.

    		 Change from baseline in Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) total score
    End point description
    The MADRS measures depression and consists of 10 items, each rated on a scale from 0 to 6. The MADRS total score sums the scores from the 10 items, ranging from 0 to 60, with a higher numeric rating implying a greater degree of symptom severity. Results reported for all randomized participants who received at least one dose of trial medication and had at least one baseline and post-baseline measurement, and had evaluable post-baseline measurement at timepoint. Missing data were imputed by LOCF. An improvement in symptoms is represented by change from baseline values that are negative.

    The CGI-BP-S is a score that measures the severity of overall bipolar illness. The score ranges on a scale from 1 to 7, where 1 is normal, and 7 is very severely ill. Results reported for all randomized participants who received at least one dose of trial medication and had at least one baseline and post-baseline measurement. One participant from the Placebo BID arm missed a baseline measurement. The analysis is based on a MMRM model. An improvement in symptoms is represented by change from baseline values that are negative.

    End point description
    The CGI-BP-S mania is a score that assesses the severity of the mania component of bipolar illness. The score ranges on a scale from 1 to 7, where 1 is normal, and 7 is very severely ill. Results reported for all randomized participants who received at least one dose of trial medication and had at least one baseline and post-baseline measurement, and had evaluable post-baseline measurement at timepoint. Missing data were imputed by LOCF. An improvement in symptoms is represented by change from baseline values that are negative.

    		 Percentage of participants who are CGI-BP-I Responders of Depression Score
    End point description
    The CGI-BP-I depression is a score on a 7-point scale for assessing the change from preceding phase of depression symptoms of bipolar disorder during the treatment of an acute episode or in longer term illness prophylaxis. Compared to the baseline, the CGI-BP-I depression score ranges from 1 = very much improved since initiating treatment, to 7 = very much worse since initiating treatment. Results reported for all randomized participants who received at least one dose of trial medication and had at least one post-baseline measurement, and had evaluable post-baseline measurement at timepoint. Missing data were imputed by LOCF. A CGI-BP-I responder had a score of 3 (minimally improved) or lower.

    		 Change from baseline in Positive And Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score
    End point description
    PANSS total score measures symptoms of schizophrenia and consists of responses to 30 items: 7 items from the positive subscale (P1-P7), 7 items from the negative subscale (N1-N7) and 16 items from the general psychopathology subscale (G1-G16). Responses to each item range from 1 = absence of symptom, to 7 = most extreme symptoms. The PANSS total score sums the scores from all 30 items, and ranges from 30 to 210, with a higher score indicating greater severity of symptoms. Results reported for all randomized participants who received at least one dose of trial medication and had at least one baseline and post-baseline measurement. The analysis is based on a MMRM model. An improvement in symptoms is represented by change from baseline values that are negative.

    		 Change from baseline in PANSS Positive subscale score
    End point description
    PANSS Positive subscale measures symptoms of schizophrenia and consists of responses to 7 items (P1-P7). Responses to each item range from 1 = absence of symptom, to 7 = most extreme symptoms. The PANSS Positive subscale sums the scores from all 7 items and ranges from 7 to 49, with a higher score indicating greater severity of symptoms. Results reported for all randomized participants who received at least one dose of trial medication and had at least one baseline and post-baseline measurement. The analysis is based on a MMRM model. An improvement in symptoms is represented by change from baseline values that are negative.

    		 Change from baseline in PANSS Marder Factor Disorganized Thought symptom score
    End point description
    PANSS Marder Factor Disorganized Thought symptom score measures symptoms of schizophrenia and consists of responses to 7 items (P2,N5,G5,G10,G11,G13,G15). Responses to each item range from 1 = absence of symptom, to 7 = most extreme symptoms. The PANSS Marder Factor Disorganized Thought symptom score sums the scores from all 7 items and ranges from 7 to 49, with a higher score indicating greater severity of symptoms. Results reported for all randomized participants who received at least one dose of trial medication and had at least one baseline and post-baseline measurement. The analysis is based on a MMRM model. An improvement in symptoms is represented by change from baseline values that are negative.
