Acute Schizophrenia

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of brexpiprazole compared with placebo as maintenance treatment in adults with schizophrenia.

Detailed description

Schizophrenia is a severely debilitating mental illness that affects approximately 1% of the world population. Hallucinations and delusions are the most striking characteristic positive symptoms of schizophrenia; however, more subtle negative symptoms (eg, social withdrawal and lack of emotion, energy, and motivation) may also be present. The first antipsychotics developed for the treatment of schizophrenia were effective against positive symptoms, but showed little efficacy for negative symptoms and were also associated with a high incidence of side effects. Second generation antipsychotics, represent a significant advancement in the treatment of psychotic disorders because they are effective and at the same time exhibit fewer side effects than first generation antipsychotics. Although generally safer than first generation antipsychotics, the second-generation antipsychotics are not devoid of undesirable side effects such as Hyperprolactinemia and weight gain. In addition, the safety of these drugs vary considerably.

Change From Baseline in Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) Score at Endpoint - MMRM AnalysisBaseline, Weeks 6, 12, 24, 36 and 52The severity of illness for each participant was rated using the CGI-S scale. To assess CGI-S, 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 ill at all; 2 = borderline mentally ill; 3 = mildly ill; 4 = moderately ill; 5 = markedly ill; 6 = severely ill; and 7 = among the most extremely ill participants.
Change From Baseline in CGI-S Score at Endpoint - LOCF AnalysisBaseline and Weeks 6, 12, 24, 36 and 52The severity of illness for each participant was rated using the CGI-S scale. To assess CGI-S, 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 ill at all; 2 = borderline mentally ill; 3 = mildly ill; 4 = moderately ill; 5 = markedly ill; 6 = severely ill; and 7 = among the most extremely ill participants.
Clinical Global Impression - Improvement Score (CGI-I) at Endpoint - LOCF AnalysisWeeks 6, 12, 24, 36 and 52The rater or investigator would rate the participant's total improvement whether or not it is due entirely to study treatment. During Phase B, responses were compared to the participant's condition at Baseline of Phase B (for participants who entered Phase B directly after screening) or to the End of Phase A visit (for participants who participated in Phase A). During Phase C, responses were compared to the participant's condition at the End of Phase B visit. Response choices include: 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.
Mean Change From Baseline in Personal and Social Performance (PSP) Scale Score - MMRM AnalysisBaseline and Weeks 24 and 52The PSP is a validated clinician-rated scale that measures personal and social functioning in four domains: socially useful activities (e.g., work and study), personal and social relationships, self-care, and disturbing and aggressive behaviors. Impairment in each of these domains is rated as absent, mild, manifest, marked, severe, or very severe. These ratings are then converted to a total score based on a 100-point scale using algorithms to identify the appropriate 10-point interval, and the rater's judgment to determine the total score within the 10-point interval. Participants with a PSP total score of 71 to 100 are considered to have mild functional difficulty. Scores of 31 to 70 represent manifest disabilities of various degrees and ratings of 1 to 30 indicate minimal functioning that requires intense support and/or supervision.The PSP score ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating higher levels of social functioning.

Scores of 31 to 70 represent manifest disabilities of various degrees and ratings of 1 to 30 indicate minimal functioning that requires intense support and/or supervision.The PSP score ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating higher levels of social functioning.
Mean Change From Baseline in Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) Scale Score - MMRM AnalysisBaseline and Weeks 12, 24, 36 and 52The GAF is a clinician-rated scale that assesses the participant's psychological, social, and occupational functioning on a hypothetical continuum of mental health-illness using a scale that ranges from 1 to 100 score, where lower values indicate worst outcome. From among 10 descriptive anchors, investigators will choose the anchor which is the most representative of the participant's level of functioning at the time of the assessment and will assign a single score within the point range given for the selected anchor.
Percentage of Participants Meeting Stability Criteria in Double Blind Maintenance PhaseWeeks 6, 12, 24, 36 and 52Participants were assessed for stability using the following criteria:1) Outpatient status AND 2) Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) Total Score ≤ 70 AND 3) A score of ≤ 4 (moderate) on each of the following PANSS items (possible scores of 1 to 7 for each item): conceptual disorganization, suspiciousness hallucinatory behavior, unusual thought content, AND 4) Clinical Global Impression - Severity of Illness scale(CGI-S) score ≤ 4 (moderately ill) AND 5) No current suicidal behavior as assessed by the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS), defined as the following: An answer of no to each question on the Suicidal Behavior section of the C-SSRS AND an answer of no to Questions 4 and 5 on the Suicidal Ideation section of the C-SSRS, if completed, AND 6) No evidence of aggressive or violent behavior resulting in clinically significant self-injury, injury to another person, property damage.

Collectively, these dimensions are referred to as the PANSS Marder Factor scores and include positive symptoms score, negative symptoms score, thought score, uncontrolled hostility/excitement, anxiety depression score. The disorganized thoughts factor score is the sum of score from the 7 items on the disorganized thoughts subscale (range: 7 - best possible outcome to 49 - worst possible outcome).

Time frame: Baseline and Weeks 6, 12, 24, 36 and 52

Population: Based on ITT principle, the full analysis set was composed of all participants randomized to the double-blind treatment who took at least one dose of study medication in Phase C and who had at least one post-randomization efficacy evaluation in Phase C.

Mean Change From Baseline in PANSS Negative Subscale Score - LOCF Analysis

The PANSS consisted of three subscales: a total of 30 symptom constructs. For each symptom construct, severity was rated on a 7-point scale, with a score of 1 (absence of symptoms) and a score of 7 (extremely severe symptoms). The PANSS negative subscale score was the sum of the rating scores for the 7 negative scale items from the PANSS panel. The 7 negative symptom constructs: blunted affect, emotional withdrawal, poor rapport, passive apathetic 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).

Mean Change From Baseline in PANSS Positive Subscale Score - LOCF Analysis

PANSS consisted of three subscales: a total of 30 symptom constructs. For each construct, severity was rated on a 7-point scale, with a score of 1 (absence of symptoms) and a score of 7 (extremely severe symptoms). The PANSS positive subscale score was the sum of the rating scores for the 7 positive scale items from the PANSS panel. The 7 positive symptom constructs are 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).

Time frame: Baseline and Weeks 6, 12, 24, 36 and 52

Population: The LOCF data set for Phase C included data recorded at a given Phase C visit or, if no observation is recorded at that visit, data carried forward from the previous Phase C visit. Baseline data was not be carried forward to impute missing values for the LOCF data set.

Mean Change From Baseline in Personal and Social Performance (PSP) Scale Score - MMRM Analysis

The PSP is a validated clinician-rated scale that measures personal and social functioning in four domains: socially useful activities (e.g., work and study), personal and social relationships, self-care, and disturbing and aggressive behaviors. Impairment in each of these domains is rated as absent, mild, manifest, marked, severe, or very severe. These ratings are then converted to a total score based on a 100-point scale using algorithms to identify the appropriate 10-point interval, and the rater's judgment to determine the total score within the 10-point interval. Participants with a PSP total score of 71 to 100 are considered to have mild functional difficulty. Scores of 31 to 70 represent manifest disabilities of various degrees and ratings of 1 to 30 indicate minimal functioning that requires intense support and/or supervision.The PSP score ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating higher levels of social functioning.

Time frame: Baseline and Weeks 24 and 52

Population: Based on ITT principle, the full analysis set was composed of all participants randomized to the double-blind treatment who took at least one dose of study medication in Phase C and who had at least one post-randomization efficacy evaluation in Phase C.
