Interventions
Registration Number
NCT03287869
Lead Sponsor
Otsuka Pharmaceutical Development & Commercialization, Inc.
Brief Summary

This study evaluated the safety and evaluate the safety and tolerability of open-label brexpiprazole (2 - 4 mg/day, with a starting dose of 2 mg/day) for the treatment of adult subjects with bipolar I disorder. All participants received a starting dose of brexpiprazole.

Detailed Description

While the availability of atypical antipsychotics had increased the therapeutic options available, there remains a need for safer and more effective therapies in the treatment of manic and depressive episodes of bipolar I disorder. Brexpiprazole's specific receptor activity profile likely correlates with its established efficacy in schizophrenia and major depressive disorder, and may prove to be an effective target for the treatment of acute mania of bipolar I disorder.

BrexpiprazoleBrexpiprazoleBrexpiprazole was administered in participants orally with flexible dosing from 2 mg/day from Days 1 to 3 regardless of treatment assignment in the previous double-blind trial, followed by titration to 3 mg/day on Day 4. Participants may have been titrated (or re-titrated) to a higher dose of brexpiprazole, up to a maximum of 4 mg/day, based on treatment response and at the investigator's discretion anytime at Day 7 or thereafter. Participants who were unable to tolerate their current dose could have been titrated down to a minimum of 2 mg/day any time after Day 4.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants With at Least One Treatment Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) by SeverityFrom Day 1 (after dosing) through 29 weeks (26 weeks treatment, 3 weeks safety follow-up)

An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a drug; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (eg, a clinically significant abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a drug, whether or not it is considered related to the drug. A TEAE is defined as an adverse event with an onset that occurs after receiving study drug. AEs severity were graded on a 3-point scale as: 1 = mild; discomfort noticed, but no disruption to daily activity, 2 = moderate; discomfort sufficient to reduce or affect normal daily activity, and 3 = severe; inability to work or perform normal daily activity.
