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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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 trial evaluated effectiveness via assessment of safety and tolerability (primary objective) and efficacy (secondary objective) of aripiprazole IM depot as measured by maintenance of stability in subjects with bipolar I disorder.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted according to the International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) Consolidated Guideline and the applicable local laws and regulatory requirements of the countries in which the trial was conducted. Informed consent was obtained from all subjects in writing before any trial related procedures were performed. Prior to start, copies of the protocol, any amendments, and the informed consent form (ICF) were reviewed and approved by the governing institutional review broad (IRB) or independent ethics committee (IEC). Essential information was fully explained in layman's language to the subject by the investigator or a qualified designee. Note: All subjects were 18 years and older at time of informed consent.

    Phase C: Open-label IM Depot Maintenance Phase
    Arm description
    All De novo participants received open-label aripiprazole 400/300 mg IM depot and the participants who completed Trial 31-08-250 entered phase C on aripiprazole IM depot 400 mg, regardless of their last dose of IM depot. De novo participants also received daily supplemental oral aripiprazole (10 to 20 mg daily for non-Japanese sites; 6 to 18 mg for Japanese sites) for the first 2 weeks to maintain therapeutic plasma concentrations. For participants who completed Trial 31-08-250 (some of whom had received double-blind placebo), the use of supplemental oral aripiprazole for the first ≤ 2 weeks was at the investigator's discretion based on the clinical status of the participant. Administration of rescue therapy was recommended for participants who did not meet stability criteria during the IM Depot Maintenance Phase, unless in the investigator’s judgment withdrawal from the trial was considered more appropriate.

    End point description
    An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant enrolled in the clinical trial and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the investigational medicinal product (IMP). Any adverse events (AEs) were recorded from the signing of informed consent onward. At each visit, the occurrences of AEs and the participant's recorded AE information were assessed. AEs were assessed as a criteria for safety and tolerability.

    Injection-site pain was evaluated by mean visual analog scale (VAS) scores as reported by the participant after each injection at visits where an injection occurred. The degree of pain at the most recent injection site was measured by VAS. The rating scale ranged from 0 (no pain) to 100 (unbearably painful). Participants were followed for 1 hour post-injection and then VAS was completed. Injection evaluations were completed on the same day that the injection was administered Analysis Population Description All participants who received at least one dose of aripiprazole IM depot.

    End point description
    Extrapyramidal symptoms were evaluated by calculating mean change from baseline in the following: AIMS assessment consisted of 10 items describing symptoms of dyskinesia. Each item was rated on a 5-point scale, with a score of 0 representing absence of symptoms (for item 10, no awareness), and a score of 4 indicating a severe condition (for item 10, awareness/severe distress). The SAS consisted of a list of 10 symptoms of parkinsonism. Each item was rated on a 5-point scale, with a score of 1 representing absence of symptoms, and a score of 5 representing a severe condition. The SAS Total Score is the sum of the scores for all 10 items. The DIEPSS was a rating scale for assessing extrapyramidal symptoms that consisted of 8 items for assessing individual symptoms and 1 item for assessing general severity—9 items in all. Each item was assessed on a scale of 0 (no symptoms, normal) to 4 (severe). The BARS consisted of 4 items related to akathisia.

    Participants were followed for 1 hour post-injection and the investigator (or qualified designee) re-assessed localized pain, redness, swelling, and induration at the injection site at 1 hour (± 15 minutes) post-injection with focus on the most recent injection site. Injection evaluations were completed on the same day that the injection was administered. Investigators rated localized pain, redness, swelling, and induration at the most recent injection site using a 4-point categorical scale ranging from absent to severe. The participant indicated the degree of pain at the most recent injection site using a VAS. Ratings ranged from 0 (no pain) to 100 (unbearably painful).

    Percentage of Participants Who Remained Stable at End of Treatment in Phase C
    End point description
    To evaluate the efficacy, as measured by the percentage of stable partcipants at baseline who remained stable at the end of treatment in the IM depot maintenance phase C, of aripiprazole IM depot administered every 4 weeks for up to 52 weeks to participants with bipolar I disorder. Analysis Population Description IM Depot Maintenance Phase Efficacy Sample: All participants who entered the IM Depot Maintenance Phase, received at least 1 dose of aripiprazole IM depot, and had at least 1 post-baseline efficacy evaluation in the IM Depot Maintenance Phase. Number analyzed (n) is the number of participants evaluated at the specified trial week.

    Phase C: Open-label IM Depot Maintenance Phase
    Reporting group description
    All De novo participants received open-label aripiprazole 400/300 mg IM depot and the participants who completed Trial 31-08-250 entered phase C on aripiprazole IM depot 400 mg, regardless of their last dose of IM depot. De novo participants also received daily supplemental oral aripiprazole (10 to 20 mg daily for non-Japanese sites; 6 to 18 mg for Japanese sites) for the first 2 weeks to maintain therapeutic plasma concentrations. For participants who completed Trial 31-08-250 (some of whom had received double-blind placebo), the use of supplemental oral aripiprazole for the first ≤ 2 weeks was at the investigator's discretion based on the clinical status of the participant. Administration of rescue therapy was recommended for participants who did not meet stability criteria during the IM Depot Maintenance Phase, unless in the investigator’s judgment withdrawal from the trial was considered more appropriate.

    29 Oct 2013
    Amendment 1- Clarifications and additions to trial procedures and inclusion/exclusion criteria intended to enhance subject safety and accuracy of data.
    04 Feb 2015
    Amendment 2- Due to a well-established safety profile in the completed aripiprazole IM depot trials, as well as sufficient collection of safety data within this trial, the duration of the IM Depot Maintenance Phase of the trial was reduced from 52 weeks to 28 weeks for rollover subjects (but not for de novo subjects or subjects at sites in Japan). The reduction of the IM Depot Maintenance Phase is described in detail in CSR Section 9.1.4 and in protocol Amendment 2 (Section 16.1.1, Appendix 23).
