Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change From Baseline in the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) Total Score at Week 4
Baseline and 4 weeks

Change within treatment groups of Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score between baseline and week 4 based on the observed data without imputation for missing data. The PANSS scale contains 30 questions, each containing an answer range of 1-7. A total PANSS score can range from between 30 to 210; a higher score indicates a worse disease condition.

Frequently asked questions about Aripiprazole Lauroxil

What is Aripiprazole Lauroxil used for?

Aripiprazole Lauroxil is being developed for the treatment of schizophrenia. It is an investigational long-acting injectable antipsychotic studied in adults with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder. The clinical program includes Phase 3 and Phase 1 trials conducted in the United States.

What does Aripiprazole Lauroxil target?

Aripiprazole Lauroxil targets the dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) and serotonin receptors HTR2A and HTR1A. It acts as an antagonist at these targets. This receptor profile is characteristic of aripiprazole-based antipsychotics used in schizophrenia.

Who is developing Aripiprazole Lauroxil?

Aripiprazole Lauroxil is being developed by Alkermes plc, which trades under the ticker ALKS. The company is responsible for the clinical development program, including the Phase 3 and Phase 1 trials conducted in the United States.

What phase is Aripiprazole Lauroxil in?

Aripiprazole Lauroxil is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is an investigational product and has not been approved by the FDA. The development program includes completed Phase 3 and Phase 1 trials in schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder.

What clinical trials is Aripiprazole Lauroxil in?

Aripiprazole Lauroxil has been studied in three completed clinical trials: NCT03345979, a Phase 3 study comparing it with paliperidone palmitate in schizophrenia; NCT02636842, a Phase 1 study in schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder; and NCT02320032, an open-label Phase 1 study in stable schizophrenia.
