Detailed Description

The study will enroll pediatric patients as follows:

De Novo Patients:

  • Patients with schizophrenia, including patients who have previously participated in the lumateperone open-label pediatric pharmacokinetic (PK) study (Study ITI-007-020)
  • Patients with bipolar disorder who have previously participated in the lumateperone open-label pediatric PK study (Study ITI-007-030)
  • Patients with irritability associated with autism spectrum disorder who have previously participated in the lumateperone open-label pediatric PK study (Study ITI-007-035)

Rollover Patients:

  • Patients with bipolar disorder who are enrolling directly from a lead-in efficacy study.
  • Patients with irritability associated with autism spectrum disorder who are enrolling directly from a lead-in efficacy study.

This study will be conducted as follows:

  • A Screening Period of up to 2 weeks during which patient eligibility will be assessed.
  • A 26-week Open-label Treatment Period (OLTP) during which all patients will receive open-label lumateperone once daily.
  • A 2-week Safety Follow-up (SFU) Period: All patients should return to the clinic for the SFU visit approximately 2 weeks after the last dose of open-label lumateperone.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Incidence of Common Adverse Events
Time Frame: Up to 6 months
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not considered drug-related. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product.
