简要总结

In this study, an investigational medication named BXCL501 is being tested for the treatment of episodes of agitation associated with bipolar I and bipolar II disorder, schizophrenia, schizoaffective and schizophreniform disorder. This study compares the study drug to a placebo.

详细描述

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 2-Part, Phase III study to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of BXCL501 in adult (18-75 years old) males and females with agitation episodes associated with a primary diagnosis of bipolar I disorder, bipolar II disorder, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, or schizophreniform disorder. Part 1 of the study is a one-day, in-clinic treatment of 60 mcg dose, and post-treatment observation period with patients experiencing an acute episode of agitation. Part 1 is now complete. Part 2 of the study is a 12-week study to determine the safety of a BXCL501 120 mcg dose when used as needed for episodes of agitation at home.

  • Participants who agree to use a medically acceptable and effective birth control method
  • Part 1 only
  • Patients who are judged to be clinically agitated at Screening and Baseline with a total score of ≥ 14 on the 5 items (poor impulse control, tension, hostility, uncooperativeness, and excitement) comprising the PEC.
  • Patients with a score of ≥4 on at least 1 of the 5 items on the PEC at Baseline.
  • Part 2 only
  • Patients have had at least three clinical presentations of agitation requiring an intervention (e.g., receipt of as needed [PRN] medication for the episode, clinic visit, emergency room visit, emergency medical services intervention, law enforcement intervention) in the past three months prior to Screening
  • Patients who are receiving stable psychotropic treatment for 30 days prior to Screening for the underlying primary diagnosis and who are expected to remain on stable treatment for the duration of the study.
  • The patient can understand and follow the study procedures, including completing the Agitation Episode Diary.

排除标准

  • Patients with serious or unstable medical illnesses. These include current hepatic (moderate-severe hepatic impairment), renal, gastroenterological, respiratory, cardiovascular (including ischemic heart disease, congestive heart failure), endocrinologic, or hematologic disease.
  • A history of agitation episodes due to substance use.

  • Patients who are judged to be at significant risk of suicide
  • Female patients who have a positive pregnancy test at Screening or Baseline, or are breastfeeding.
  • Patients currently treated with alpha-1 noradrenergic blockers (terazosin, doxazosin, tamsulosin, alfuzosin, or prazosin), alpha-2 adrenergic agonists, or other prohibited medications.
  • Patients with hydrocephalus, seizure disorder, or history of significant head trauma, stroke, transient ischemic attack, subarachnoid bleeding, brain tumor, encephalopathy, meningitis, Parkinson's disease, or focal neurological findings.

  • Patients with laboratory or ECG abnormalities considered clinically significant by the Investigator
  • Patients who have received an investigational drug within 30 days before the study start
  • Patients who have previously received BXCL501 via prescription (under the trade name IGALMI™) or received BXCL501 in clinical trial

结局指标

主要结局

Part 1: Change from baseline in Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale - Excited (PEC) total score

时间窗: 2 hours

The Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale - Excited Component (PEC) comprises 5 items associated with agitation: poor impulse control, tension, hostility, uncooperativeness, and excitement; each scored 1 (minimum) to 7 (maximum). The PEC, the sum of these 5 subscales, thus ranges from 5 (absence of agitation) to 35 (extremely severe)

Part 2: The incidence of SAEs and TEAEs compared with placebo.

时间窗: Through study completion, an average of 12 weeks

To assess the safety of 120 mcg BXCL501 when used in an at-home environment based on serious adverse events (SAE) and treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs).
