Eligible Subjects From Other Double-Blind Phase 3 Brexpiprazole MDD Trials: Subjects who completed the last scheduled visit of the prior double-blind phase 3 trial, and who in the opinion of the investigator, could potentially benefit from administration of brexpiprazole as adjunctive therapy to their antidepressant therapy. 5. Male and female outpatients 18 to 65 years of age, inclusive, at the time of informed consent for Trial 331-10-238. 6.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To assess the long-term safety and tolerability of oral OPC-34712 as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of adults with MDD.;Secondary Objective: To assess the long-term efficacy of oral OPC-34712 as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of adults with MDD.;Primary end point(s): The primary outcome variable is the safety and tolerability of OPC-34712 which will be assessed by examining the frequency and severity of adverse events (AEs).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The primary endpoint will be evaluated using data collected throughout by trial week and at the last visit (week 52/early termination). The final evaluation of the data will be completed following the last visit of the last patient enrolled on the study.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Efficacy variables will be as follows: • Change from baseline in Clinical Global Impression - Severity of Illness scale (CGI-S) score; • Mean Clinical Global Impression - Improvement scale (CGI-I) score; • Change from baseline in Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) score. • Change from baseline in the Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (Self-Report) (IDS-SR) Total Score Safety variables to be examined in this trial will include physical examinations, vital signs, body weight, waist circumference, clinical laboratory tests (hematology, serum chemistry, urinalysis, and pregnancy tests), ECGs, the Simpson Angus Scale (SAS), the Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS), the Barnes Akathisia Rating Scale (BARS), the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS), and the Massachusetts General Hospital Sexual Functioning Questionnaire (MSFQ).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The secondary endpoints will be evaluated using data collected throughout by trial week and at the last visit (week 52/early termination). The final evaluation of the data will be completed following the last visit of the last patient enrolled on the study.
