Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Time From Randomization to Relapse in the Double-blind (DB) Period [From randomization in the DB period through 26 weeks]

    The time from randomization to relapse in the DB period was compared between treatment groups using a Cox regression model. The treatment effect was measured by the hazard ratio (HR). Relapse was defined as (1) ≥30% increase in SAPS-H+D total score from DB baseline (BL) and CGI-I score ≥6 relative to DB BL, (2) treatment with antipsychotic for dementia-related delusions/hallucinations, (3) treatment/study discontinuation due to lack of efficacy, and/or (4) hospitalization for worsening dementia-related psychosis. SAPS-H+D is a 20-item scale; the total score is the sum of the 20 item scores (range 0-100); higher scores denote more severe symptoms. CGI-I is a clinician-rated 7-point scale to rate improvement in hallucinations/delusions relative to BL (range 1-7); higher scores denote less improvement or worsening. A pre-specified IA was conducted after accrual of 40 adjudicated relapse events. The prespecified stopping criterion was met; the study was stopped for efficacy.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Time From Randomization to Discontinuation From the DB Period for Any Reason [From randomization in the DB period through 26 weeks]

    The endpoint of time from randomization to discontinuation from the DB period for any reason (other than termination of the study by the sponsor) was compared between treatment groups using a Cox regression model. The treatment effect was measured by the HR.

Outcome Measures

1. Primary Outcome
Title Time From Randomization to Relapse in the Double-blind (DB) Period
Description The time from randomization to relapse in the DB period was compared between treatment groups using a Cox regression model. The treatment effect was measured by the hazard ratio (HR). Relapse was defined as (1) ≥30% increase in SAPS-H+D total score from DB baseline (BL) and CGI-I score ≥6 relative to DB BL, (2) treatment with antipsychotic for dementia-related delusions/hallucinations, (3) treatment/study discontinuation due to lack of efficacy, and/or (4) hospitalization for worsening dementia-related psychosis. SAPS-H+D is a 20-item scale; the total score is the sum of the 20 item scores (range 0-100); higher scores denote more severe symptoms. CGI-I is a clinician-rated 7-point scale to rate improvement in hallucinations/delusions relative to BL (range 1-7); higher scores denote less improvement or worsening. A pre-specified IA was conducted after accrual of 40 adjudicated relapse events. The prespecified stopping criterion was met; the study was stopped for efficacy.
