An Acceptability Study of Unflavored Asenapine Versus Raspberry Flavored Asenapine in Stable Patients With a Psychotic Disorder (P07010)(COMPLETED)

February 2, 2022 updated by: Organon and Co

A Randomized, Crossover Study Evaluating the Acceptability of Unflavored Asenapine and Raspberry Flavored Asenapine in Stable Subjects With A Psychotic Disorder

This trial was a randomized trial to determine a patient's acceptability of unflavored antipsychotic medication compared to raspberry flavored antipsychotic medication. Patients received 6 total doses of study drug (2 doses of each asenapine formulation) over 3 consecutive days: 2 different formulations each day, 1 in the morning and 1 in the evening. The formulations were: white unflavored, white raspberry flavored, and red raspberry flavored. Patients were given a questionnaire following each dose of study medication (one questionnaire twice per day for 3 days) to measure how acceptable each formulation was.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Study drug was administered according to a random selected sequence schedule with 2 constraints: Subjects did not receive consecutive doses of the same formulation, and each formulation was given once in the morning and once in the evening over the course of the 3-day treatment period.
