Detailed Description

This study is designed to assess the difference between inpatient psychiatric hospitalization rates in participants on oral standard-of-care antipsychotic treatment(s) for a period of 6 months followed by a switch to Abilify MyCite® for a period of 3 months (Months 1 to 3).

All participants who complete or withdraw from the trial while on Abilify MyCite® will receive a telephone call for safety follow-up approximately 30 days after their last trial visit.

The trial will be conducted at 75 sites in the United States, 493 participants will be screened in order to enroll 320 participants and complete 224 participants. There was an interim analysis planned for the study.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants With Inpatient Psychiatric HospitalizationRetrospective Period [Month -6 to Baseline (Day 1)] up to Prospective Period (Day 1 to Month 3)

Percentage of participants with inpatient psychiatric hospitalization in Prospective Period With at least one hospitalization in Retrospective Period.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Days With Improved AdherenceRetrospective Period [-1 to -3 months prior to Baseline (Day 1)] up to Prospective Period (1 to 3 months)

Improved adherence was based on the overall proportion of days covered (PDC) in participants compliant with study drug administration in the Prospective period on Prospective Abilify MyCite® versus Retrospective Period on oral atypical antipsychotics. PDC was calculated as = number of days 'covered' in the Respective Period/number of days in the period \* 100.
