Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Trial of the Efficacy and the Safety of RO6889450 (Ralmitaront) vs Placebo in Patients With an Acute Exacerbation of Schizophrenia or Schizoaffective Disorder (NCT NCT04512066)

NCT ID: NCT04512066

Last Updated: 2023-10-10

Results Overview

The PANSS is a 30-item rating scale that evaluates positive, negative, and other symptoms in patients with schizophrenia. The Positive subscale is a 7-item scale that assesses features in schizophrenia that are not present in a normal mental state. The Negative subscale is a 7-item scale that assesses features absent in schizophrenia but present in those with a normal mental state. Items are rated on a 7-point scale, where 1 = absent and 7 = extreme, for a maximum score of 49 for each scale. The General subscale is a 16-item scale that assesses the overall severity of schizophrenia and the risk of aggression. Items are rated on the same scale, with a minimum score of 16 and a maximum score of 112. Total scores are calculated by adding subscale scores together, for a minimum score of 30 and a maximum score of 210. Higher scores indicate higher severity.

Participant Flow

287 participants initially randomized in the double-blind treatment period. 11 excluded from final analysis due to having not received assigned study medication or because of re-enrollment. Participants were not required to participate in all study parts and those that did not continue to the double-blind treatment period either discontinued the study during the double-blind treatment period or exited the study after completing the period. 197 continued to the double-blind extension period.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 4 (Day 28)

Population: The efficacy analysis population (EAP) included all randomized participants who received at least one dose of study medication and who had primary efficacy assessments at baseline and on at least one occasion post-baseline.

The PANSS is a 30-item rating scale that evaluates positive, negative, and other symptoms in patients with schizophrenia. The Positive subscale is a 7-item scale that assesses features in schizophrenia that are not present in a normal mental state. The Negative subscale is a 7-item scale that assesses features absent in schizophrenia but present in those with a normal mental state. Items are rated on a 7-point scale, where 1 = absent and 7 = extreme, for a maximum score of 49 for each scale. The General subscale is a 16-item scale that assesses the overall severity of schizophrenia and the risk of aggression. Items are rated on the same scale, with a minimum score of 16 and a maximum score of 112. Total scores are calculated by adding subscale scores together, for a minimum score of 30 and a maximum score of 210. Higher scores indicate higher severity.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 4 (Day 28)

Population: The EAP included all randomized participants who received at least one dose of study medication and who had primary efficacy assessments at baseline and on at least one occasion post-baseline.

PANSS factors are modified groupings of the 30 PANSS items from the original three subscales (positive, negative, and general psychopathology). Each item is rated on a scale of 1 (absent) to 7 (most extreme). The positive symptom factor contains 8 items (score range 8-56); the negative symptom and disorganized thought/cognition factors contain 7 items (score range 7-49); the uncontrolled hostility/excitement, expressive deficit, and anxiety/depression factors contain 4 items (score range 4-28); and the avolition domain contains 3 items (score range 3-21). The negative and positive totals each have a range of 7-49 and the general total has a range of 16-112. Higher scores indicate higher symptom severity.

The PANSS is a 30-item rating scale that evaluates positive, negative, and other symptoms in patients with schizophrenia. The Positive subscale is a 7-item scale that assesses features in schizophrenia that are not present in a normal mental state. The Negative subscale is a 7-item scale that assesses features absent in schizophrenia but present in those with a normal mental state. Items are rated on a 7-point scale, where 1 = absent and 7 = extreme, for a maximum score of 49 for each scale. The General subscale is a 16-item scale that assesses the overall severity of schizophrenia and the risk of aggression. Items are rated on the same scale, with a minimum score of 16 and a maximum score of 112. Total scores are calculated by adding subscale scores together, for a minimum score of 30 and a maximum score of 210. Higher scores indicate higher severity.

The PANSS is a 30-item rating scale that evaluates positive, negative, and other symptoms in patients with schizophrenia. The Positive subscale is a 7-item scale that assesses features in schizophrenia that are not present in a normal mental state. The Negative subscale is a 7-item scale that assesses features absent in schizophrenia but present in those with a normal mental state. Items are rated on a 7-point scale, where 1 = absent and 7 = extreme, for a maximum score of 49 for each scale. The General subscale is a 16-item scale that assesses the overall severity of schizophrenia and the risk of aggression. Items are rated on the same scale, with a minimum score of 16 and a maximum score of 112. Total scores are calculated by adding subscale scores together, for a minimum score of 30 and a maximum score of 210. Higher scores indicate higher severity.

Population: The efficacy analysis population (EAP) included all randomized participants who received at least one dose of study medication and who had primary efficacy assessments at baseline and on at least one occasion post-baseline.

The RDQ is a tool used to assess inpatients with schizophrenia on their readiness for discharge from inpatient treatment. It consists of five items that assess suicidality/homicidality, control of aggression/impulsivity, activities of daily living, medication-taking, and delusions/hallucinations interfering with functioning and global status. An additional item examines the overall clinical state of the patient and the final question assesses readiness for discharge. The values reported are the proportion (expressed as a percentage) of participants in each analysis group considered ready for discharge according to the RDQ.
