Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Trial to Determine Whether Two Differing Strength Tablets (3 x 5 mg Versus 1 x 15 mg) of Sublingually Org 5222 (Asenapine) Are Safe and Equal in Subjects With Schizophrenia or Schizoaffective Disorder (P05937) (NCT NCT01101464)

NCT ID: NCT01101464

Last Updated: 2022-02-09

Results Overview

The primary objective is to compare the bioavailability using pharmacokinetic parameter of maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of two differing tablet strengths (3 x 5 mg and 1 x 15 mg) of sublingually administered Org 5222 Measurements were performed after each cross-over period: Day 5 measurement for 3x5mg for participants from Sequence 1 and 1x15mg for participants from Sequence 2; Day 7 measurement for 1x15mg for participants from Sequence 1 and 3x5mg for participants from Sequence 2.

Participant Flow

All subjects rec'd asenapine 5mg BID on Day 1 \& 10mg BID on Day 2. Subjects rec'd 15mg BID (either 3x5mg or 1x15mg according to their randomized sequence) from the morning dose on Day 3 through the morning dose on Day 5, followed by the alternate treatment (either 3x5mg or 1x15mg) from the evening dose on Day 5 through the morning dose on Day 7.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 5 & Day 7

Population: All participants were included in both treatment comparisons (as per cross over design).

The primary objective is to compare the bioavailability using pharmacokinetic parameter of maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of two differing tablet strengths (3 x 5 mg and 1 x 15 mg) of sublingually administered Org 5222 Measurements were performed after each cross-over period: Day 5 measurement for 3x5mg for participants from Sequence 1 and 1x15mg for participants from Sequence 2; Day 7 measurement for 1x15mg for participants from Sequence 1 and 3x5mg for participants from Sequence 2.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 5 & Day 7

Population: All participants were included in both treatment comparisons (as per cross over design).

The primary objective is to compare the bioavailability using pharmacokinetic parameter of time of occurrence of Cmax (Tmax) of two differing tablet strengths (3 x 5 mg and 1 x 15 mg) of sublingually administered Org 5222. Measurements were performed after each cross-over period: Day 5 measurement for 3x5mg for participants from Sequence 1 and 1x15mg for participants from Sequence 2; Day 7 measurement for 1x15mg for participants from Sequence 1 and 3x5mg for participants from Sequence 2

The primary objective is to compare the bioavailability using pharmacokinetic parameter of area under the curve (AUC) of two differing tablet strengths (3 x 5 mg and 1 x 15 mg) of sublingually administered Org 5222. Measurements were performed after each cross-over period: Day 5 measurement for 3x5mg for participants from Sequence 1 and 1x15mg for participants from Sequence 2; Day 7 measurement for 1x15mg for participants from Sequence 1 and 3x5mg for participants from Sequence 2.
