ACADIA Pharmaceuticals Inc.1,074 enrolled

Overview

This is a master protocol for 3 independent, seamlessly enrolling, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group studies in patients with ADP * Substudy 1 (Phase 2) will evaluate efficacy and dose response of ACP-204 30 and 60 mg vs placebo. This substudy will be initiated first. * Substudies 2A and 2B (both: Phase 3) will be confirmatory studies of either both doses (ACP-204 30 and 60 mg, respectively) or a single dose from Part 1 vs placebo. Substudies 2A and 2B will be performed independently of each other and will commence after enrollment of Part 1. All 3 substudies will be analyzed independently of each other. Each substudy individually will consist of a screening period (up to 49 days); a double-blind treatment period (6 weeks); a safety follow-up period (30 days) for patients not rolling over into an open-label extension study; and vital status follow-up (for patients who terminated their substudy early).

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Scale for the Assessment of Positive Symptoms-Hallucinations and Delusions subscales (SAPS-H+D) total score change from baseline (Substudies 1, 2A, 2B)

The SAPS-H+D subscales are a measure of two psychotic symptoms: hallucinations and delusions. The SAPS-H+D total score is the sum of the scores of the Hallucinations and Delusions subscales. The hallucinations domain score (SAPS-H) is the sum of the 7 hallucinations item scores, and the delusions domain core (SAPS-D) is the sum of the 13 delusions item scores.

Time frame: From baseline to Week 6

Secondary Outcomes

Clinical Global Impression-Severity in the ADP context (CGI-S-ADP) score

The CGI-S scale is a clinician-rated, 7-point scale that is designed to rate the severity of the subject's symptoms at the time of assessment using the Investigator's judgment and past experience with subjects who have the same disorder. The CGI-S-ADP scale is the CGI-S scale applied in the ADP context, in which hallucinations and delusions are the symptoms of interest.

Time frame: Week 6
