medicine system (DMS) with healthcare professionals (HCPs) and adult subjects with schizophrenia (SCH), schizoaffective disorder, or first episode psychosis. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |

5) Subject possesses the capacity to utilise the technology interfaces (eg, open and navigate software applications using the touch screen) and telephone features of a smartphone. The subject has satisfactory mobile phone reception (preferably 3 bars or more, or have Wi-Fi) at home and/or at work for trial-designated wireless carrier.
6) Subject is cooperative, able to ingest oral medication, willing to complete all aspects of trial, and capable of reporting AEs.

psychosis using case note review.
8) Subjects prescribed aripiprazole, olanzapine, quetiapine, or risperidone.
Subject must fulfill at least one or more of the following:

hospital admission;
Referral from an acute intervention team to a

Managed by community services (inclusive of patients
on Care Programme Approach);
Inclusion within early intervention caseload (< 3 years

HCP determines the subject would benefit from using
DMS.
10) Subject’s general medical condition such that participation
in the trial does not pose any additional risk as per HCP’s judgment.
11) Skin on the anterior chest just above the lower edge of the rib cage that is free of any dermatological problems (eg, dermatosis or dermatitis, open wounds, or other skin disorders such as warts, rashes, atopic dermatitis, or irritations). |

neurocognitive disorder or other condition that may impact the subject’s ability to participate in the trial or interact with the smartphone app.
2) Subject who is likely to be incapable of using the DMS technology, even with assistance.
3) Subject who has a history or evidence of a medical
condition that would expose them to an undue risk of a significant AE or interfere with assessments of safety or usability during the course of the trial, including but not limited to, hepatic, renal, respiratory, cardiovascular, endocrine, neurologic, hematologic, or immunologic disease as determined by the clinical judgment of the HCP.
4) Subject with a known allergy to adhesive tape or any pertinent components of the patch or CoE product.
5) Prisoner must not be enrolled into this trial.
6) Subject who is hospitalised due to mental or physical

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary endpoint is the proportion of days with good patch coverage during the trial, which will be calculated by the number of days with good patch coverage divided by the total number of trial days for each subject. The good patch coverage is defined as having at least 80% patch data available or MITs detected within the 24-hour period for each day while the subject is on the trial. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
The good patch coverage is defined as having at least 80% patch data available or MITs detected within the 24-hour period for each day while the subject is on the trial. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
The secondary endpoint is subject’s adherence metric, which is the proportion of detected MITs over the expected MITs ingested during the trial days with good patch coverage. |
