E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Each subject’s parent(s) or legal representative must be willing and able to provide written informed consent for the trial and each subject must indicate assent before trial participation;
2. Each subject must have completed the 3-week (P06107) efficacy and safety trial and, according to the investigator’s judgment, may benefit from long-term treatment;
3. Each subject must have demonstrated an acceptable degree of compliance with trial medication, visits, and other requirements in trial P06107 in the opinion of the investigator;
4. Each subject must be ≥12 years and ≤18 years of age; A subject may be of either sex, and of any race/ethnicity;
5. Each subject must be a male, or a female who is not of childbearing potential (eg, surgically sterile) or who is non-pregnant, non-lactating, and is using a medically accepted method of contraception. If a female subject of childbearing potential, must agree to use a medically
accepted method of contraception while receiving protocol specified medication and for 1 month after stopping the medication;
6. Each subject must have a caregiver, or an identified responsible person, living with the subject, who is considered reliable by the investigator and who has agreed to provide support to the subject to ensure compliance with trial treatment, outpatient visits, and protocol procedures;

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary objective of the trial is to investigate safety and tolerability of long-term asenapine treatment in pediatrics, which will rely on descriptive safety endpoints.
There are no pre-specified key safety endpoints. Events and parameters specified as “Tier 1,” “Tier 2,” and “Tier 3,” which are exploratory.
Tier 1 Events:
• Akathisia (preferred term [PT])
• Dizziness (PT)
• Insomnia (PT)
• Combined somnolence (PT), hypersomnia (PT) and sedation (PT)
• Combined oral hypoesthesia (PT) and dysgeusia (PT)
• EPS (standardized Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities [MedDRA] queries [SMQ] [narrow]), and
• Incidence of weight gain ≥7% increase from baseline to endpoint.
Tier 2 Events:
Specific AEs (incidence ≥4 subjects overall).
• Change from baseline to endpoint in the laboratory variables:
- Fasting glucose
- Fasting triglycerides
- Fasting cholesterol
- Prolactin
- Fasting insulin, and
- HbA1c.
The Tier 2 fasting laboratory endpoints may be included regardless of whether fasting can be definitively achieved in certain outpatient trials. Subjects will report whether they were fasting and this will be evident in the database.
Tier 3 Events:
• All other specific AEs occurring in <4 subjects overall (not in Tier 1 or Tier 2)
• Change or shift from baseline results (Laboratory parameters, Vital Signs,
ECGs, ESRS, C-SSRS, menstrual cycle, growth, Tanner staging)
• Laboratory parameters, vital signs, ECGs, ESRS, C-SSRS, menstrual cycle,
growth, Tanner staging.

E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Continuously throughout the study |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
• Change in Y-MRS total score from baseline(s);
• Proportion of Y-MRS total score remitters (Y-MRS ≤12);
• Proportion of sustained remitter of the Y-MRS;
• Proportion of Y-MRS total score responders ≥50%;
• Time to first total Y-MRS 50% response;
• Time to failure to maintain effect;
• Change in CGI-BPoverall, CGI-BPdepression, and CGI-BPmania from baseline(s)
(calculated from severity);
• Change in CDRS-R total score from baseline(s)
• Proportion of CDRS-R responders;
• Proportion of subjects with emergent depression based on CDRS-R;
• Change in CGAS from baseline(s);
• Proportion of subjects with CGAS total score >=70 (ie, indicating normal
functioning);
• Change in PQ-LES-Q total score from baseline(s);
• Change in PQ-LES-Q overall score from baseline(s).
