Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of ALKS 3831 on Body Weight in Young Adults Who Have Been Recently Diagnosed With Schizophrenia, Schizophreniform, or Bipolar I Disorder

Phase 3

Completed

Brief Summary: This study will evaluate the effect of ALKS 3831 compared to olanzapine on body weight in young adults with schizophrenia, schizophreniform, or bipolar I disorder who are early in their illness

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
ALKS 3831	ALKS 3831	Coated bilayer tablet
Olanzapine	Olanzapine	Coated bilayer tablet

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Percent Change From Baseline in Body Weight at Week 12	Baseline and 12 weeks	The efficacy analyses were performed using the Final Analysis Set which is defined as all randomized subjects who received one dose of study drug and had at least 1 primary efficacy assessment after administration of study drug

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change From Baseline in Waist Circumference at Week 12	Baseline and Week 12
Change From Baseline in Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) Score Within the ALKS 3831 Group at Week 12	Baseline and Week 12	Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) Score is a 3-item, clinician-rated scale used to assess global illness severity, overall improvement from the start of treatment, and therapeutic response. It is a 7-point scale that requires the clinician to assess how mentally ill the patient is at a specific point in time. Based on the scale, patients are categorized as follows: "1: normal, not at all ill"; "2: borderline mentally ill"; "3: mildly ill"; "4: moderately ill"; "5: markedly ill"; "6: severely ill"; and "7: among the most extremely ill patients."
Percentage of Subjects With ≥7% Weight Gain at Week 12	Baseline and 12 weeks
Number of Participants Experiencing of Adverse Events (AEs)	Up to 16 weeks
Percentage of Subjects With ≥10% Weight Gain at Week 12	Baseline and 12 weeks	Percentage of weight gain is analyzed based on the subject's assessment status (≥10% vs \<10%) at Week 12 using a logistic regression model including treatment group, diagnosis (schizophrenia/schizophreniform disorder vs bipolar I disorder), region (US vs non-US), and baseline BMI (\<25 vs ≥25) as factors and baseline weight as covariate.
