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
    To evaluate the safety of subjects with agitation associated with dementia of the Alzheimer's type who were previously treated with brexpiprazole (0.5, 1, or 2 mg/day) or placebo during Trial 331-12-283 or Trial 331-12-284.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This trial was conducted in compliance with Good Clinical Practice guidelines for conducting, recording, and reporting trials, as well as for archiving essential documents. Consistent with ethical principles for the protection of human research subjects, no trial procedures were performed on trial candidates until written consent had been obtained from them. The informed consent form, protocol, and amendments for this trial were submitted to and approved by the institutional review board or ethics committee at each respective trial center. During the phase 3 trials, subjects were treated for a period of 12 weeks with a 30-day safety follow-up period. Trial 331-13-211 was designed to extend the duration of the safety follow-up period for the aforementioned Phase 3 trials from 30 days to 3 months (ie, 30 days from the previous phase 3 trials [331-12-283 or 331-12-284] plus 2 months from Trial 331-13-211).

    Number of participants with Adverse Events (AEs) [1]
    End point description
    An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not considered drug related. A SAE included any event that resulted in death, life-threatening event, persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions, in-patient hospitalization or prolonged hospitalization, congenital anomaly/birth defect, and other medically significant events that, based upon appropriate medical judgment, jeopardized the subject and required medical or surgical intervention. Safety endpoints related to AEs that were evaluated during this trial were: frequency and severity of AEs, SAEs, and discontinuations from the trial due to AEs, frequency and severity of AEs related to the worsening of agitation and cognition associated with Alzheimer's disease. Subjects had no limitations to take any medication to treat agitation or other symptoms during this study.

    End point description
    The MMSE was a brief practical test used for assessing cognitive dysfunction. The test consisted of 5 sections (orientation,registration, attention and calculation, recall, and language) and had a total possible score of 30. Higher scores indicate better cognitive functioning. MMSE safety scale was used as one of the safety variable. The MMSE was performed at the Month 2/ET visit.
