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   43861   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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 study will evaluate the safety and durability of effect of ALKS 9072 (also known as ALKS 9070) during long-term treatment of subjects with stable schizophrenia.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Laboratory results for new subjects were reviewed before the first dose of ALKS 9072 was administered. Study visits occurred once every 4 weeks for a maximum of 16 study visits in addition to routine visits for clinical care. All subjects received study drug.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Subjects who successfully completed the Day 85 visit in Study ALK9072-003 and continued to meet eligibility criteria were eligible to enroll in this extension study. In addition, adults with chronic stable schizophrenia on a stable oral antipsychotic medication not previously enrolled in Study ALK9072-003 were also eligible to enroll.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    While there were only 2 treatment groups in this extension study, data for several outcome measures is presented by lead-in study groups, and separated into 5 categories: PBO-441 mg, 441-441 mg, PBO-882 mg, 882-882 mg, and de novo.

    Blinding implementation details
    The study blind was maintained for those subjects who participated in the ALK9072-003 study. The investigator and study site staff were not informed about whether a given subject had been previously assigned to ALKS 9072 or to placebo in Study ALK9072-003. Subjects who participated in the ALK9072-003 were not informed of the dose of ALKS 9072 administered in either study. Only the unblinded pharmacist and the individual performing the injection were aware of the volume of ALKS 9072.

    End point description
    The CGI-S is a 7-point scale that requires the clinician to assess how mentally ill the patient is in a specific point in time. Results indicate participants evaluated at one of the following categories: "1: normal, not at all ill"; "2: borderline mentally ill"; "3: mildly ill"; "4: moderately ill"; "5: markedly ill"; "6: severely ill"; and "7: among the most extremely ill patients". Results indicate a change in CGI-S score from baseline to Day 365 based on the observed data.
