Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Changes between the control and treatment periods on Day 19 vs. Day 1, Day 20 vs. Day 2, and Day 21 vs. Day 3, with prazosin or propanolol in the presence of brexpiprazole + sertraline or sertraline alone at steady state21 daysMean difference in baseline-adjusted change in systolic blood pressure (ΔΔSBP), measured in mmHg, from supine to standing positions will be assessed.
Maximum change in SBP, measured in mmHg, from supine to standing position in the presence of brexpiprazole + sertraline or sertraline alone at steady state will be assessed.21 days
Maximum change in diastolic blood pressure (DBP), measured in mmHg, from supine to standing position in the presence of brexpiprazole + sertraline or sertraline alone at steady state will be assessed.21 days
Maximum change in resting heart rate (HR), measured in beats per minute (bpm), from supine to standing position will be assessed in the presence of brexpiprazole + sertraline or sertraline alone at steady state will be assessed.21 days
