Brief summary
The objective of the first phase of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of fluvoxamine compared to placebo on change in total score of Japanese version of the Children's Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (JCY-BOCS) 10-item from baseline to the last observation visit (10 weeks) in pediatric/adolescent participants with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). The objective of the second phase of the study is to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of fluvoxamine in pediatric/adolescent patients with OCD.
Detailed description
The first phase will be conducted in a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind manner to evaluate the efficacy of fluvoxamine on change from baseline to the last observation visit in the JCY-BOCS 10-item total score. Eligible patients will be allocated to the fluvoxamine group or placebo group in a 1:1 ratio using the experience of fluvoxamine treatment and age as stratification factors (dynamic allocation). The first phase consists of a screening period of 1-2 weeks, a forced titration dose period of 2 weeks, a dose adjustment period of 4 weeks, a maintained dose period of 4 weeks, and a tapering dose period of 0-4 weeks. The 2nd phase will be conducted in an open-label manner in participants who completed the first phase to evaluate the long-term safety of fluvoxamine. The 2nd phase consists of 3 periods; a forced titration dose period of 2 weeks, a flexible dose period of 50 weeks, and a tapering dose period of 0-4 weeks. After the last dose of study drug (including tapering dose period) or the early termination visit, participants will be followed for up to 30 days.

The Japanese version of the Children's Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (JCY-BOCS) is a 10-item questionnaire assessing the severity of OCD in the past 7 days. Severity of compulsions and obsessions are rated on a scale from 0 (none) to 4 (extreme). The total score is calculated by summing the 10 individual scores and ranges from 0 to 40, where higher scores indicate more extreme symptoms.

Number of Participants With Adverse Events During the First Phase
An adverse event (AE) was assessed as treatment-related by the investigator if there was evidence to suggest a causal relationship between the study drug and the adverse event. The investigator used the following definitions to rate the severity of each adverse event: Mild: The adverse event was transient and easily tolerated by the participant; Moderate: The adverse event caused the participant discomfort and interrupted usual activities. Severe: The adverse event caused considerable interference with the participant's usual activities and may have been incapacitating or life-threatening. A serious adverse event was any event that resulted in death, was life-threatening, resulted in hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, congenital anomaly, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or was an important medical event requiring medical or surgical intervention to prevent a serious outcome.
Time frame: From the first dose of the study drug up to 30 days after the last dose of the study drug, approximately 18 weeks in the first phase.
Population: Participants who received the study drug at least once in the first phase
