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 Measured by mean Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores [2] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
End point description |
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

Extrapyramidal Symptoms (EPS) assessed by Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS), Simpson-Angus Scale (SAS), Drug-Induced Extrapyramidal Symptoms Scale (DIEPSS Used only in Japan), and Barnes Akathisia Rating Scale (BARS) [6] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
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.

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).
