E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To evaluate the efficacy of lurasidone (40 mg/day and 80 mg/day) compared with placebo in adolescent subjects with acute schizophrenia (diagnosed by Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Ed., Text Revision [DSM-IV-TR] criteria) as measured by the change from Baseline in the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score at Week 6. |
Valutare l’efficacia di lurasidone (40 mg/die e 80 mg/die) rispetto al placebo in soggetti adolescenti affetti da schizofrenia acuta (diagnosticata sulla base del Manuale diagnostico e statistico dei disturbi mentali 4a ed. criteri di revisione del testo [Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Ed., Text Revision, DSM-IV-TR]) misurata sulla variazione rispetto al basale relativamente al punteggio totale sulla Scala di sindrome positiva e negativa (Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale, PANSS) alla Settimana 6 |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
- To evaluate the efficacy of lurasidone compared with placebo as measured by the change from Baseline in the Clinical Global Impression, Severity (CGI-S) at Week 6;
- To evaluate the efficacy of lurasidone compared with placebo as measured by the change from Baseline in PANSS positive, negative, general psychopathology, and excitability subscale scores at Week 6;
- To evaluate the efficacy of lurasidone compared with placebo in changes in quality of life as measured by the change from Baseline in the Pediatric Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire (PQ-LES-Q) at Week 6;
- To evaluate the efficacy of lurasidone compared with placebo in changes in global functioning as measured by the change from Baseline in the Clinician-rated Children’s Global Assessment Scale (CGAS) at Week 6;
- To evaluate the safety and tolerability of lurasidone at 40 mg/day and 80 mg/day. |
•Valutare l’efficacia di lurasidone rispetto al placebo in base alla variazione dal basale nella scala di gravità sull’impressione clinica globale (CGI-S) alla Settimana 6;
•Valutare l’efficacia di lurasidone rispetto al placebo in base alla variazione dal basale dei punteggi delle sottoscale PANSS positiva, negativa, psicopatologica generale e di eccitabilità alla Settimana 6;
•Valutare l’efficacia di lurasidone rispetto al placebo in base alle variazioni dal basale della qualità della vita misurata sulla variazione dal basale del questionario di godimento e soddisfazione di qualità della vita pediatrico (PQ-LES-Q) alla Settimana 6;
•Valutare l’efficacia di lurasidone rispetto al placebo in base alle variazioni nel funzionamento globale misurato sulle variazioni dal basale della scala di valutazione globale dei bambini valutata dal medico (CGAS) alla Settimana 6;
•Valutare la sicurezza e la tollerabilità di lurasidone a 40 mg/die e a 80 mg/die.
