Trial Outcomes

CGI-I Score at Week 8

The Clinical Global Impression - Global Improvement (CGI-I) assesses the clinician's impression of the patient's improvement (or worsening). The clinician assesses the patient's condition relative to a baseline on a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse), with higher values indicating worse outcome. As this was an open-label exploratory study, all outcomes should be considered as exploratory outcomes. (NCT01942733)
Timeframe: Baseline and Week 8

Interventionunits on a scale (Mean)
Brexpiprazole2.2

Change From Baseline to Week 8 in BRIAN Total Score

The Biological Rhythms Interview of Assessment in Neuropsychiatry (BRIAN) is a clinician-rated scale designed to assess biological rhythms. The BRIAN consists of 18 items divided in 4 subscales: sleep (5 items), activity (5 items), social (4 items), and eating pattern (4 items). Each item is rated on a scale from 1 (no difficulties) to 4 (serious difficulties). The total score of the 18 items ranges from 18 to 72, with higher values indicating worse outcome. As this was an open-label exploratory study, all outcomes should be considered as exploratory outcomes. (NCT01942733)
Timeframe: Baseline and Week 8

Interventionunits on a scale (Mean)
Brexpiprazole-17.4

Change From Baseline to Week 8 in CGI-S Score

The Clinical Global Impression - Severity of Illness (CGI-S) scale assesses the clinician's impression of the patient's current state of mental illness. The clinician uses his or her clinical experience of this patient population to rate the severity of the patient's current mental illness on a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (normal - not at all ill) to 7 (among the most extremely ill patients), with higher values indicating worse outcome. As this was an open-label exploratory study, all outcomes should be considered as exploratory outcomes. (NCT01942733)
Timeframe: Baseline and Week 8

Interventionunits on a scale (Mean)
Brexpiprazole-1.8

Change From Baseline to Week 8 in CPFQ Total Score

The Cognitive and Physical Functioning Questionnaire (CPFQ) is a patient-rated scale designed to assess cognitive and executive dysfunction including symptoms of fatigue in mood and anxiety disorders. The CPFQ consists of 7 items, each rated on a scale from 1 (greater than normal functioning) to 6 (poorer than normal functioning). The total score of the 7 items ranges from 7 to 42, with higher values indicating worse outcome. As this was an open-label exploratory study, all outcomes should be considered as exploratory outcomes. (NCT01942733)
Timeframe: Baseline and Week 8

Interventionunits on a scale (Mean)
Brexpiprazole-8.4

Change From Baseline to Week 8 in ISI Total Score

The Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) is a patient-rated scale desgined to measure the patient's perception of his/her insomnia. The ISI comprises 7 items: difficulty falling asleep, difficulty staying asleep, problems waking up early in the morning, satisfaction with current sleep pattern, interference with daily functioning, how much others notice the sleep problem impairs quality of life, and distress caused by the sleep problem. Each of the 7 items is rated on a 5-point scale from 0 (best situation) to 4 (worst situation). The total score of the 7 items ranges from 0 to 28, with higher values indicating worse outcome. As this was an open-label exploratory study, all outcomes should be considered as exploratory outcomes. (NCT01942733)
Timeframe: Baseline and Week 8

Interventionunits on a scale (Mean)
Brexpiprazole-9.2

Change From Baseline to Week 8 in MADRS Total Score

The Montgomery Aasberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) is a 10-item rating scale designed to assess the severity of the symptoms in depressive illness and to be sensitive to treatment effects. Items in the scale assess apparent sadness, reported sadness, inner tension, reduced sleep, reduced appetite, concentration difficulties, lassitude, inability to feel, pessimistic thoughts, and suicidal thoughts. Symptoms are rated on a 7-point scale from 0 (no symptoms) to 6 (severe symptoms). Definitions of severity are provided at two-point intervals. The total score of the 10 items ranges from 0 to 60, with higher values indicating worse outcome. As this was an open-label exploratory study, all outcomes should be considered as exploratory outcomes. (NCT01942733)

Change From Baseline to Week 8 on BL-VAS-s (Evening) Score

The Bond-Lader Visual Analogue Scale - Sedation (BL-VAS-s) is a patient-rated scale designed to assess the current level of sedation. The BL-VAS-s was assessed for the evening (19:00 to 23:59 hours), morning (00:00 to 08:59 hours) and at noon (11:00 to 13:59 hours). The BL-VAS-s is a single item scale rated on a 100mm visual analogue scale. The score is measured from the left to a mark made on the line by the patient and ranges from 0 (alert) to 100 (drowsy). As this was an open-label exploratory study, all outcomes should be considered as exploratory outcomes. (NCT01942733)

The Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) is a is a patient-rated scale designed to measure daytime sleepiness. The ESS consists of 8 items describing different situations/activities and the patients rate the chance of them dozing off or falling asleep when they are in these situations. Each item is rated on a 4-point scale from 0 (would never dose) to 3 (high change of dozing). The total score of the 8 items ranges from 0 to 24, with higher values indicating worse outcome.

Changes From Baseline to Week 8 in Number of Lapses as Assessed Using a PVT Device

The psychomotor vigilance task (PVT) measures sustained or vigilant attention by recording response time (milliseconds) to a visual/or auditory stimulus that appears at random inter-stimulus intervals (range: from 2 to 10 seconds). The patient was instructed to monitor a red rectangular box on the computer screen and to press a response button as soon as a yellow stimulus counter appeared on the screen. The parameters assessed using a PVT device were response speed and number of lapses. The results for response speed is presented separately from the number of lapses due to the different units of measurement involved.
