End point description |
PANSS total score administered by the investigator. It included a total of 30 items that evaluated the Positive Symptoms subscale, the Negative Symptoms subscale, the General Psychopathology subscale. Each item is rated from 1 (symptom not present) to 7 (symptom extremely severe). PANSS total score was calculated as sum of all the items on the scale and ranged from 30 to 210. A negative score indicates an improvement compared to Randomization.

The model included the fixed, categorical effects of treatment, country, week, treatment-by-week interaction, PC Period Treatment-by-week interaction, and the continuous covariates of Randomization score and Randomizaion-score-by-week interaction with an unstructured covariance structure to model the within-patient errors [2] - Multiplicity adjustment was planned for the testing of the primary endpoint, but was not applied, since all p-values >0.05 |

End point description |
CGI-S provides the clinician’s impression of the patient’s current state of mental illness. The clinician uses his or her clinical experience of this patient population to rate the severity of the patient's current mental illness on a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (normal - not at all ill) to 7 (among the most extremely ill patients). Higher scores indicate worsening

NSA-16 items are rated on a 6-point scale from 1 (behaviour is normal) to 6 (behaviour severely reduced), and a score of 9 if the item is not-rateable. The Global Negative Symptom Rating is rated from 1 (no evidence of symptoms) to 7 (extremely severe symptoms). The 16 items are summed to yield a total score ranging from 16 to 96 and the global rating ranges from 1 to 7.

The PANSS Negative Factor score is a subset of the PANSS assessing negative symptoms of schizophrenia. The factor consist of the seven items: blunted affect, emotional withdrawal, poor rapport, passive social withdrawal, lack of spontaneity, motor retardation, and active social avoidance which are each rated on a 7-point scale, from 1=absent to 7=extreme. The PANSS Negative Factor score (7 items) range from 7 to 49 with a higher score indicating greater severity of symptoms.

Date |
Amendment |
||
24 Apr 2018 |
PA2: This amendment has been prepared to revise the definition of patients with early-in-disease (ED) treatment-resistant schizophrenia (TRS) in protocol edition 2.0.
The definition of ED TRS has been extended to include patients with schizophrenia first diagnosed <10 years prior to the Screening Visit, who will have failed at least 2 adequate treatment trials with an antipsychotic drug. The patient cohort in Study 17303A will now be continuous for all eligible patients, irrespective of the number of years prior to the Screening Visit when they were first diagnosed with schizophrenia. This more inclusive cohort will allow for more thorough analysis of the effects of Lu AF35700 in patients with ED TRS, without missing information from patients who are designated to have TRS but were diagnosed with schizophrenia between 5 to 10 years prior to the Screening Visit. The proposed analyses will include patients with ED TRS or LD TRS, as well as patients with TRS first diagnosed ≤5 years prior to the Screening Visit. In addition, this amendment has been prepared to make some clarifications and elaborations to protocol edition 2.0. |
||
07 Sep 2018 |
PA3: This amendment has been prepared to increase the statistical power and geographic presence of the study to allow the use of the study data for confirmatory purposes. The number of patients to be randomized in the study has been increased and the targeted ratio of patients with early-in-disease (ED) treatment-resistant schizophrenia (TRS) to patients with late-in-disease (LD) TRS has been revised. The target ratio of patients with ED TRS versus LD TRS has been adjusted from 2:1 to 1:2.
A ratio of 1:2 will more closely approximate the ratio of patients with ED versus LD TRS patients in the other ongoing phase III efficacy Study 16159A and 1:2 is also the ratio generally prevalent in the disease community. In addition, the change in target ratio is expected to facilitate recruitment. The objectives of the trial remain the same despite the change in sample size and ratio. The number of patients to be randomized in the study has been increased from 150 to 490. With the change in ratio of patients with ED TRS versus LD TRS (from 2:1 to 1:2) Study 17303A is aligned with Study 16159A and the assumptions regarding treatment effect size from Study 16159A has been applied to the sample size recalculation for Study 17303A. Further, the sample size recalculation was done to increase (from 80% to more than 90%) the power of the study. With this amendment to the protocol, the study may serve as a second confirmatory study in the development program for Lu AF35700 for a TRS indication. Study 17303A has from the beginning used the same study methodology as Study 16159A with similar inclusion and exclusion criteria. For its entire duration, Study 17303A has been conducted to the same high quality standard as Study 16159A and will continue to be so after the enlargement of the study. |
