Brief summary

An Extension study to a clinical study that will continue to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of SEP-363856 in people with schizophrenia that switch to SEP-363856 from their current antipsychotic medication. This study will accept both male and female participants that have completed study SEP361-308. This study will be held in approximately 24 study sites in North America. Participation in the study will be approximately up to 25 weeks.

Detailed description

This is a 24-week, outpatient, multicenter, flexible-dose, open-label extension study designed to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of SEP-363856 (50 to 100 mg/day) for the treatment of subjects with schizophrenia who have completed Study SEP361-308 treatment period, during which they were switched from a previous antipsychotic treatment to SEP-363856.

A serious adverse event is any AE occurring at any dose that results in death, is life-threatening, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, requires in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, or is a congenital anomaly/birth defect.
Number of Participants With AEs Leading to Discontinuation of StudyFrom first dose of study drug up to end of 1 week follow up period (up to Week 25)An AE is any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease occurring after the administration of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal (investigational) product. AEs leading to discontinuation from the study are those AEs which caused participant to discontinue from the study.

Recruitment details

Participants took part in the study at 16 clinical sites in the United States (US) from 31 March 2023 to 23 September 2024.

Pre-assignment details

A total of 75 participants rolled over from Study SEP361-308 (NCT05628103) into Study SEP361-309, and all 75 participants received at least one dose of SEP-363856 in the 24-week treatment period.

SEP-363856
Participants received SEP-363856 at the same dose they were taking upon completion of Study SEP361-308 (NCT05628103), orally, QD. Thereafter, the dose was adjusted within the range of 50 mg/day to 100 mg/day in 25 mg increments (i.e. 50 mg/day, 75 mg/day, or 100 mg/day), based on clinical judgment. Participants continued to receive flexible dose of SEP-363856 (50 mg/day to 100 mg/day) up to Week 24.
