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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The main objective of the trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cariprazine at a target dose of 4.5 milligram per day (mg/d) compared with placebo in prevention of relapse in participants with schizophrenia; and to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cariprazine at a target dose of 3.0 mg/d compared with placebo in prevention of relapse in participants with schizophrenia who were initially stabilized on a target dose of 4.5 mg/d.

    Notes
    [1] - Period 1 is not the baseline period. It is expected that period 1 will be the baseline period.
    Justification: Period 2 Double-blind Treatment Period is used for the baseline period. After Period 1, Open-label Treatment Period, participants were randomized to the Double-blind Treatment Period that begins in Period 2.

    Notes
    [2] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: The baseline period is based on the Double-blind Treatment Period.
    [3] - The number of subjects starting the period is not consistent with the number completing the preceding period. It is expected the number of subjects starting the subsequent period will be the same as the number completing the preceding period.
    Justification: Out of 162 participants who completed the Open-label Treatment Period, 159 participants were randomized to the Double-blind Treatment Period.

    Notes

    Justification: The number of participants exposed for Ovarian cyst is based on the female population.

The fifth of the 7 defined relapse criteria was revised.- Initiation of treatment with a mood stabilizer, antidepressant, antipsychotic agent, or with a benzodiazepine that exceeds the protocol-specified allowance or duration (ie, more than 2 mg/d of lorazepam or equivalent or for more than 3 consecutive days) to treat worsening symptoms of schizophrenia or any other psychiatric disorder as judged by the clinical impression of the investigator.

Ophthalmological Examination was revised.- Participants with a finding of cataracts at any time during the study must be discontinued. New text added for summarization of ocular events of special interest.- The number and percentage of participants reporting treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) of ocular events of special interest will be summarized overall for the OL treatment period in the open-label safety population and the OL SFU period in the OL SFU population, and by treatment for the DB treatment period and the DB SFU period in the double-blind safety population. The listing of all reported ocular events of special interest was provided.
