Conditions
Brief summary
This study assess pharmacokinetics and safety of single-administration of Aripiprazole IM Depot formulation at doses of 300 and 400mg in patients with schizophrenia.
Detailed description
In this study, a single-center, single-dose, single-administration trial will be carried out in patients with schizophrenia diagnosed pursuant to The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR), to evaluate pharmacokinetics and safety of single-administration aripiprazole IM Depot (300/400 mg) after its administration in 24 patients with oral tolerance of this drug. In this study, the washout period before administration is designed as a 35-day duration before administration of the investigational drug (aripiprazoleIM Depot), screening period a 4-week duration (28 days) before administration of the investigational drug, observation period after administration a 20-week duration after administration of the investigational drug and hospital stay a minimum 35-day duration after administration of the investigational drug.
Interventions
administration of Aripiprazole IM Depot formulation at doses of 300 and 400mg once in patients with schizophrenia.

| Time of Maximum Concentration | up to 20 weeks | To assess the time of Maximum Concentration (tmax) of aripiprazole and its main metabolite OPC-14857 |
| AUC0-∞ | up to 20 weeks | To assess the area under the curve for period of medication, from 0 till infinity (AUC0-∞) of aripiprazole and its main metabolite OPC-14857 |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Adverse Events | up to 20 weeks | Adverse events will be examined by frequency, severity, seriousness, discontinuation, and relationship to treatment. |
