E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Subject is considered by the investigator to be at imminent risk of suicide, injury to self or to others, or damage to property.
2. Subject answers "yes" to "Suicidal Ideation" item 4 (active suicidal
ideation with some intent to act, without specific plan) or item 5 (active
suicidal ideation with specific plan and intent) on the Columbia Suicide
Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) at the extension baseline visit (final
study visit in Study D1050238). Subjects who answer "yes" to this
question must be referred to the Investigator for follow-up evaluation.
3. Subject requires treatment with any potent CYP3A4 inhibitors or
inducers during the study. Subject requires treatment with a drug that
consistently prolongs the QTc interval.
4. Subject currently has a clinically significant neurological, metabolic
(including type 1 diabetes), hepatic, renal, hematological, pulmonary,
cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and/or urological disorder such as
unstable angina, congestive heart failure (uncontrolled), or central
nervous system (CNS) infection that would pose a risk to the subject if
they were to participate in the study or that might confound the results
of the study. Subjects with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
seropositivity (or history of seropositivity) will be excluded.
Note: Active
medical conditions that are minor or well-controlled are not exclusionary
if they do not affect risk to the subject or the study results.
5. Subject exhibits evidence of severe tardive dyskinesia, severe
dystonia, or any other severe movement disorder. Severity is to be determined by the Investigator.
6. Subject has presence of abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG) at the
extension baseline visit (final study visit in Study D1050238). |
1. A giudizio dello sperimentatore, il soggetto è considerato a imminente rischio di suicidio o di infliggere lesioni o danni a sè, ad altri o alle cose.
2. Il soggetto risponde “sì” alla voce 4 “ideazione suicidaria” (ideazione suicidaria attiva con intenzione di agire, senza un piano specifico) o alla voce 5 (ideazione suicidaria attiva con un piano specifico e con intenzione) sul C-SSRS nel corso della visita basale dell’estensione (visita dello studio n. 42 nell’ambito dello studio D1050238). I soggetti che rispondono “sì” a questa domanda devono essere indirizzati dallo sperimentatore alla valutazione di follow-up e al trattamento opportuno.
3. Il soggetto necessita di un trattamento con un potente inibitore CYP3A4 durante lo studio. Il soggetto necessita di un trattamento con un farmaco che prolunga in modo consistente l'intervallo QTc.
4. Il soggetto ha una patologia importante neurologica, metabolica (incluso il diabete di tipo 1), epatica, renale, ematologica, polmonare, cardiovascolare, gastrointestinale, e/o urologica come

Soggetti con immuno deficienza umana (HIV) saranno esclusi. Note: condizioni cliniche in atto che sono minori o ben controllate non sono motivo di esclusione se esse non influenzano il rischio del soggetto o i risultati dello studio.
