Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients age 18 years or older (at time of informed consent) diagnosed with schizophrenia based on DSM-IV-TR diagnostic criteria
  • Outpatients who are receiving an oral antipsychotic treatment (other than clozapine), who are considered to require maintenance therapy using antipsychotics, and for whom monotherapy with OPC-34712 is considered feasible

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Female patients who are breastfeeding or who have a positive pregnancy test (urine) result prior to receiving investigational medicinal product
  • Patients who are diagnosed with a disease other than schizophrenia (schizoaffective disorder, major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, anxiety disorder, delirium, dementia, amnesia, or other cognitive disorder) based on current DSM-IV-TR Axis Ι criteria, or who are diagnosed with a personality disorder (borderline, paranoid, histrionic, schizotypal, schizoid, or antisocial)

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events
Time Frame: From Baseline up to 52 Weeks
A treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) is defined as an AE that started after start of investigational medicinal product (IMP) treatment.
From Baseline up to 52 Weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Mean Change From Baseline in Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) Total Score
Time Frame: From Baseline up to 52 Weeks including Week24, Week52, and Last Visit(LOCF)
The PANSS consisted of 3 subscales with 30 symptom constructs (positive subscale (7): delusions, conceptual disorganization, hallucinatory behavior, excitement, grandiosity, suspiciousness/perseckion, and hostility; negative subscale (7): blunted affect, emotional withdrawal, poor rapport, passive/apathetic social withdrawal, difficulty in abstract thinking, lack of spontaneity and conversation flow, stereotyped thinking and general psychopathology subscale (16): somatic concern, anxiety, guilt feelings, tension, mannerisms and posturing, depression, motor retardation, uncooperativeness, unusual thought content, disorientation, poor attention, lack of judgment and insight, disturbance of volition, poor impulse control, preoccupation, and active social avoidance). Severity was rated on 7-point scale with scores 1 (absence) & 7 (extremely severe). The PANSS Total score ranged from 7 (best possible outcome) to 210 (worst possible outcome).
From Baseline up to 52 Weeks including Week24, Week52, and Last Visit(LOCF)
Mean Change From Baseline in PANSS Positive Subscale Score
Time Frame: From Baseline up to 52 Weeks including Week24, Week52, and Last Visit(LOCF)
The PANSS consisted of three subscales that contained a total of 30 symptom constructs. For each symptom construct, severity is rated on a 7-point scale, with a score of 1 indicated the absence of symptoms and a score of 7 indicated extremely severe symptoms. In PANSS positive subscale, the 7 positive symptom constructs were: delusions, conceptual disorganization, hallucinatory behavior, excitement, grandiosity, suspiciousness/persecution, and hostility. The PANSS positive subscale score ranged from 7 (best possible outcome) to 49 (worst possible outcome).
From Baseline up to 52 Weeks including Week24, Week52, and Last Visit(LOCF)
Mean Change From Baseline in PANSS Negative Subscale Score
Time Frame: From Baseline up to 52 Weeks including Week24, Week52, and Last Visit(LOCF)
The PANSS consisted of three subscales that contained a total of 30 symptom constructs. For each symptom construct, severity was rated on a 7-point scale, with a score of 1 indicated the absence of symptoms and a score of 7 indicated extremely severe symptoms. In PANSS negative subscale the severity was rated for the following 7 negative symptom constructs: blunted affect, emotional withdrawal, poor rapport, passive/apathetic social withdrawal, difficulty in abstract thinking, lack of spontaneity and flow of conversation, stereotyped thinking. The PANSS negative subscale score ranged from 7 (best possible outcome) to 49 (worst possible outcome).
From Baseline up to 52 Weeks including Week24, Week52, and Last Visit(LOCF)
Mean Change From Baseline in Clinical Global Impression-Severity of Illness (CGI-S)
Time Frame: From Baseline up to 52 Weeks including Week24, Week52, and Last Visit(LOCF)
Severity of illness for each participant was rated using the CGI-S, which was the secondary efficacy endpoint. To perform this assessment, the study physician answered the following question: "Considering your total clinical experience with this particular population, how mentally ill is the participant at this time?" Response choices included: 0 = not assessed; 1 = normal, not at all ill; 2 = borderline mentally ill; 3 = mildly ill; 4 = moderately ill; 5 = markedly ill; 6 = severely ill; and 7 = among the most extremely ill participants.
From Baseline up to 52 Weeks including Week24, Week52, and Last Visit(LOCF)
Mean Clinical Global Impression - Global Improvement(CGI-I)
Time Frame: From Baseline up to 52 Weeks including Week24, Week52, and Last Visit(LOCF)
The efficacy of trial medication was rated for each participant using the CGI-I. The study physician would rate the participant's total improvement whether or not it is due entirely to drug treatment. All responses were compared to the participant's condition at Baseline prior to the first dose of study medication. Response choices included: 0 = not assessed, 1 = very much improved, 2 = much improved, 3 = minimally improved, 4 = no change, 5 = minimally worse, 6 = much worse, and 7 = very much worse.
From Baseline up to 52 Weeks including Week24, Week52, and Last Visit(LOCF)

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
October 1, 2011

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
