Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

A clinical study to investigate the effect of an investigational drug in adults with schizophrenia by using Electrocardiogram (Picture of the electrical action of the heart). This study is accepting male and female participants between 18 years old -65 years old who have been diagnosed with schizophrenia. This study will be conducted in approximately 7 locations in the US. The study will last approximately 7 weeks.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: SEP363856 150 mg
  • Drug: Placebo
  • Drug: moxifloxacin 400 mg
Phase 1

Detailed Description

This is a Phase 1, randomized, single-dose, active and placebo controlled, 3-period crossover study of the effect of SEP-363856 150 mg on electrocardiogram (ECG) intervals in subjects with schizophrenia. SEP-363856 and matching placebo will be utilized in a double-blind fashion. Moxifloxacin will be utilized as an active control in an open-label fashion.

The primary analysis will be based on concentration-QTc modeling of the relationship between plasma concentrations of SEP-363856 or its metabolite SEP-363854 and change-from baseline QTc.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Placebo-adjusted change-from-baseline QTc interval (ΔΔQTc) [24 Hours]

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Change from baseline in heart rate, QTcF, pulse rate, and QRS intervals (∆HR, ΔQTcF, ΔPR, and ∆QRS) [24 Hours]

  2. If a substantial heart rate (HR) effect is observed: Change from baseline in QTcS, QTcI, and QTcP (ΔQTcS, ΔQTcI, and ΔQTcP) [24 Hours]

  3. Placebo-adjusted change from baseline in heart rate, pulse rate, and QRS intervals (ΔΔHR, ΔΔPR, and ΔΔQRS) [24 Hours]

  4. If a substantial heart rate (HR) effect is observed: Placebo-adjusted ΔQTcS, and/or ΔQTcI, and/or ΔQTcP, and/or ΔQTcF (ΔΔQTcS, ΔΔQTcI, ΔΔQTcP, ΔΔQTcF) if not selected as the primary endpoint [24 Hours]

  5. Categorical summary for QTcF, heart rate, pulse rate, and QRS intervals [24 Hours]

  6. If a substantial heart rate (HR) effect is observed: Categorical summary for QTcS, QTcI, and QTcP [24 Hours]

  7. Frequency of treatment-emergent changes of T-wave morphology and U-waves presence. [24 Hours]

Inclusion Criteria:
  • Male or female subject between 18 and 65 years of age, inclusive, at the time of informed consent

  • Subject must give written informed consent and privacy authorization prior to participation in the study

  • Subject meets DSM-5 criteria for a primary diagnosis of schizophrenia as established by clinical interview

  • Subject must have a CGI S score ≤ 4 at Screening

  • Subject must have a PANSS total score ≤ 80 at Screening

  • Subject must have a score of ≤ 4 on the following PANSS items at Screening:

  • P7 (hostility)

  • G8 (uncooperativeness)

  • Subject must have normal to mild symptoms on all individual items of the SAS (< 2), AIMS (< 3) and BARS (< 3) at Screening

  • Subject must be clinically stable for the past three months in the opinion of the Investigator

  • Subject has been taking an antipsychotic for at least six weeks prior to Screening and has had no change in antipsychotic medication(s) for at least six weeks prior to Screening

  • Subject is, in the opinion of the Investigator, generally healthy based on Screening medical history, physical examination, neurological examination, vital sign measurement, electrocardiogram and clinical laboratory values

Exclusion Criteria:
  • Subject has a DSM 5 diagnosis or presence of symptoms consistent with a DSM 5 diagnosis other than schizophrenia. Exclusionary disorders include but are not limited to alcohol use disorder (within past 12 months), substance (other than nicotine or caffeine) use disorder within past 12 months, major depressive disorder, bipolar I or II disorder, schizoaffective disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder.
