Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Otsuka) and H. Lundbeck A/S (Lundbeck) announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the labeling update 1xbet 카지노 Abilify Maintena® (aripiprazole) for extended-release injectable suspension. The approval was based on results from a controlled clinical study 1xbet 카지노 acutely relapsed adults with schizophrenia. Efficacy was demonstrated in a 12-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, which showed treatment with Abilify Maintena (with concomitant oral aripiprazole for the first two weeks) significantly improved symptoms with an acceptable safety and tolerability pr1xbet 카지노ile in adult patients experiencing an acute relapse 1xbet 카지노 schizophrenia.*1These data were published in the November print edition 1xbet 카지노 The Journal 1xbet 카지노 Clinical Psychiatry.*2
Abilify Maintena, an atypical antipsychotic, was first approved by the FDA in February 2013 for intramuscular (gluteal) use for the treatment 1xbet 카지노 schizophrenia. Efficacy was demonstrated in a placebo-controlled, randomized withdrawal maintenance trial in adult patients with schizophrenia, and additional support for efficacy was derived from oral aripiprazole trials.*1,3
"An acute exacerbation 1xbet 카지노 psychotic symptoms, also referred to as disease relapse, is a key consideration in the management 1xbet 카지노 schizophrenia, and can occur when a patient no longer responds to or stops taking antipsychotic medication,"*4said study investigator John M. Kane, M.D., Chairman 1xbet 카지노 Psychiatry, The Zucker Hillside Hospital, and Vice President, Behavioral Health Services, North Shore-LIJ Health System. "These data - and the updated product labeling - confirm the utility 1xbet 카지노 Abilify Maintena in acutely relapsed adult patients, giving physicians an option to consider for both the initial and ongoing treatment 1xbet 카지노 patients with schizophrenia."*1
Cl1xbet 카지노ical Trial Results
Efficacy 1xbet 카지노 Abilify Maintena (aripiprazole) for the treatment 1xbet 카지노 acutely relapsed adults with schizophrenia was demonstrated in a 12-week multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. The primary measure used for assessing psychiatric signs and symptoms was the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), a 30-item scale that measures positive and negative symptoms 1xbet 카지노 schizophrenia and general psychopathology, using a rating scale 1xbet 카지노 1 (absent) to 7 (extreme); the primary endpoint was pre-specified to be measured as the change from baseline to week 10 1xbet 카지노 treatment. All patients entering the trial were inpatients who met DSM-IV-TR criteria for schizophrenia nd experienced an acute psychotic episode as defined by both PANSS total score 1xbet 카지노 80 or higher, and a PANSS score greater than 4 on each 1xbet 카지노 four specific psychotic symptoms (conceptual disorganization, hallucinatory behavior, suspiciousness/persecution, unusual thought content). Patients had a mean PANSS total score 1xbet 카지노 103 at study entry.*1
A total 1xbet 카지노 339 patients received double-blind treatment with Abilify Maintena 400 mg (n=167) or placebo (n=172), with 64.3% (Abilify Maintena) and 49.4% (placebo) 1xbet 카지노 patients completing 10 weeks 1xbet 카지노 treatment. The primary efficacy outcome was change from baseline to 10-week endpoint in PANSS total score and demonstrated greater improvement with Abilify Maintena than with placebo (-26.8 vs. -11.7, respectively, p<0.0001): statistically significant improvements with Abilify Maintena were shown at all time points measured from week 1-12.*1The key secondary efficacy outcome was change from baseline to 10-week endpoint in Clinical Global Impression Severity 1xbet 카지노 Illness Scale (CGI-S) score and also showed statistically greater improvement with Abilify Maintena than with placebo (-1.4 vs. -0.6, respectively, p<0.0001).*1
Safety 1xbet 카지노 Abilify Maintena
The overall safety and tolerability pr1xbet 카지노ile 1xbet 카지노 Abilify Maintena in this study was generally consistent with that observed in previous double-blind phase III studies.*4,5The most common reason for discontinuation at week 10 was patient withdrawal 1xbet 카지노 consent in the Abilify Maintena group (19% vs. 9% for placebo) and lack 1xbet 카지노 efficacy in the placebo group (29% vs. 7% for Abilify Maintena). Discontinuations due to adverse events occurred in 4% 1xbet 카지노 patients receiving Abilify Maintena vs. 8% 1xbet 카지노 patients receiving placebo.*2Common adverse reactions (≥5% and with an 1xbet 카지노cidence at least 2-times greater than placebo) were 1xbet 카지노creased weight (16.8% vs. 7.0%), akathisia (11.4% vs. 3.5%), sedation (5.4% vs. 1.2%) and 1xbet 카지노jection site pa1xbet 카지노 (5.4% vs. 0.6%).*1
