This study will assess asenapine (Sycrest®) use in participants with bipolar disorder; comparison will be made to the use of risperidone (RISPERDAL®CONSTA®) and olanzapine (Zyprexa®). The occurrence of identified and potential clinically important risks will also be assessed.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
42
Number of Participants with Bipolar Disorder with Identified and Potential Clinically Important Risks
Identified and potential clinically important risks will include: extrapyramidal symptoms, somnolence and sedation, neuroleptic malignant syndrome, rhabdomyolysis, seizure, hyperprolactinaemia, orthostatic hypotension, neutropenia, allergic reactions, dyslipidaemia and diabetes mellitus with the use of asenapine versus risperidone or olanzapine
Time frame: Approximately 1 year
Number of Participants with Schizophrenia with Identified and Potential Clinically Important Risks
When enrollment and participant exposure reaches a level that adequate power (80%) is achieved according to pre-defined power calculations, risk incidence with use of asenapine in participants diagnosed with schizophrenia with no prior and/or concomitant diagnosis of bipolar disorder will be analyzed. Identified and potential clinically important risks will include: extrapyramidal symptoms, somnolence and sedation, neuroleptic malignant syndrome, rhabdomyolysis, seizure, hyperprolactinaemia,orthostatic hypotension, neutropenia, allergic reactions, dyslipidaemia and diabetes mellitus with the use of asenapine versus risperidone or olanzapine
Time frame: Approximately 1 year
Number of Participants without Diagnoses of Schizophrenia or Bipolar Disorder with Identified and Potential Clinically Important Risks
When enrollment and participant exposure reaches a level that adequate power (80%) is achieved according to pre-defined power calculations, risk incidence with use of asenapine in participants with no prior and/or concomitant diagnoses of bipolar disorder or schizophrenia, but diagnosed with i) Alzheimer's disease, ii) other diagnoses - mental disorders or iii) no diagnosis, will be analyzed. Identified and potential clinically important risks will include: extrapyramidal symptoms, somnolence and sedation, neuroleptic malignant syndrome, rhabdomyolysis, seizure, hyperprolactinaemia,orthostatic hypotension, neutropenia, allergic reactions, dyslipidaemia and diabetes mellitus with the use of asenapine
Time frame: Approximately 1 year
