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   44196   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7329   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 objectives of this study were to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of cariprazine adjunctive to antidepressant therapy (ADT) in subjects with major depressive disorder (MDD) who had an inadequate response to ADT.
    Protection of trial subjects
    All study subjects were required to read and sign an Informed Consent Form.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: Baseline Period is based on the Safety Population, that included all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of investigational product. 7 participants did not receive study drug and are excluded.

    Change From Baseline in the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale Total Score at Week 8
    End point description
    The Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale is a clinician-rated scale to assess depressive symptomatology during the preceding week. Participants are rated on 10 items (feelings of sadness, lassitude, pessimism, inner tension, suicidality, reduced sleep or appetite, difficulty concentrating, and lack of interest) each on a 7-point scale from 0 (no symptoms) to 6 (symptoms of maximum severity). The total score ranges from 0 to 60 with a higher score indicating more depression. A negative change score indicates improvement.

    Change From Baseline in the Sheehan Disability Scale Total Score at Week 8
    End point description
    The Sheehan Disability Scale measures an individual’s perception of the extent to which his or her emotional symptoms are disrupting his or her functioning in 3 domains, work/school, social life/leisure activities, and family life/home responsibilities. The participant is asked to rate the degree to which their functioning is impaired on an 11-point scale, ranging from 0 (not at all) to 10 (extremely). Scores of 0 to 3 indicate mild functional impairment, 4 to 6 indicate moderate functional impairment, and 7 to 9 indicate marked functional impairment. The scores for the 3 domains are summed into a total score that ranges from 0 (unimpaired) to 30 (highly impaired). A higher score indicates greater impairment. A negative change score indicates improvement.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    18 May 2012
    • The Antidepressant Treatment History Form (ATHF) was added for documenting the identity, dose, duration, and response to qualifying ADT at screening • The eligibility criteria was modified in accordance with the ATHF, to expand the qualifying patient pool, and to allow conformance with local standards of care (specific changes included removing Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR) codes, increasing the allowed duration of the current episode to 24 months, adding fluoxetine to the allowed ADTs, removing the inclusion criterion based on SDS total score, adding an exclusion criterion for hospitalization, and expanding the allowed range of heart rate and BP measurements) • The sensitivity analysis, pattern-mixture model were modified to improve computational efficiency (change from mixed-effects model for repeated measures [MMRM] to analysis of covariance [ANCOVA])
    11 Jul 2012
    • Required washout period for fluoxetine was removed because fluoxetine was added to the allowed antidepressant treatments in Amendment 1 • The requirement for reflex collection of hemoglobin A1c was removed in subjects with elevated glucose because detectable changes occur over a duration of time that is longer than the study duration • Collection of folate and B12 to be based on the Investigator’s clinical judgment were modified • Azithromycin as a recommended macrolide antibiotic was removed
