Brief summary

This study will assess the helpfulness of the integrated call center in optimizing use of the Digital Medicine System in adult subjects with Schizophrenia, Major Depressive Disorder, or Bipolar Disorder taking oral aripiprazole.

Detailed description

The Digital Medicine System includes a drug-device combination of aripiprazole + an ingestible event marker (IEM), a wearable sensor (skin patch), and application software to convey the level of activity and rest, and to mark events through the act of ingestion. Physician and self-report are the most commonly used to assess medication compliance yet studies have consistently found that healthcare providers' subjective judgments of medication compliance are often inaccurate, with a tendency for practitioners to overestimate subject adherence. The sponsor's intent is to develop a system that will benefit future subjects by providing the ability to measure their medication-taking behavior in an objective manner and being able to monitor several physiologic parameters.

Interventions

DRUGAripiprazole + IEM (Ingestible Event Marker)

Oral aripiprazole (2, 5, 10, 15, 20, or 30 mg) with an ingestible event marker in a single daily dose for duration of the trial.

Inbound calls (ie, calls from the subject to the integrated call center) by help type; 2. Outbound calls (ie, calls from the integrated call center to the subject) by help type. The number presented in the table is the number of subjects in trial who made (inbound) or received (outbound) calls

Recruitment details

This open-label, single-arm trial assessed the functionality of an integrated call center for digital medicine system (DMS) as used by adult subjects (18 to 65 years of age, inclusive, at the time of screening) with Schizophrenia (SCH), Bipolar 1 disorder (BP1), or Major depressive disorder (MDD) being treated with oral aripiprazole.

Pre-assignment details

The trial consisted of a screening period of ≤ 7 days. This period assessed the eligibility criteria at 1 or more visits. An interactive web response system (IWRS) was used to obtain an identification number for each subject with a signed electronic informed consent form (eICF).

Outcome results

Primary

Assessment of the Functionality of an Integrated Call Center for DMS by Adult Subjects With SCH, MDD, or BP1 Who Were Treated With Oral Aripiprazole.

The primary outcome was assessed as the establishment of a functional and operational integrated call center with coordinated feedback to the subject and investigative site to optimize the use of DMS as measured by: 1. Inbound calls (ie, calls from the subject to the integrated call center) by help type; 2. Outbound calls (ie, calls from the integrated call center to the subject) by help type. The number presented in the table is the number of subjects in trial who made (inbound) or received (outbound) calls

Time frame: From baseline upto week 9

Population: Intent-to-treat (ITT) Sample: All subjects who entered the trial and used Digital Medicine System (DMS).
