A Randomized, Open-Label, Multiple-Dose, Parallel-Arm, Pivotal Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Aripiprazole 2-Month Long-Acting Injectable in Adults With Schizophrenia or Bipolar I Disorder.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Aripiprazole 2-month ready-to-use 960 mg (Ari 2MRTU 960) is a new long-acting injectable antipsychotic formulation for gluteal administration every 2 months, currently being investigated for the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar I disorder (BP-I). The objectives of this trial were to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Ari 2MRTU 960, and the similarity of aripiprazole plasma concentrations following administration of Ari 2MRTU 960 or aripiprazole once-monthly 400 mg (AOM 400), in adults with schizophrenia or BP-I.

Methods

This was a 32-week open-label study. Eligible participants were randomized 1:1 to receive Ari 2MRTU 960 every 56 ± 2 days (four injections scheduled) or AOM 400 every 28 ± 2 days (eight injections scheduled). Participants received overla
