Official title

An Open-label, Multicenter Trial to Assess the Safety and Tolerability of Lumateperone in the Treatment of Pediatric Patients With Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder or Autism Spectrum Disorder

Overview

This is a multicenter, global, 26-week, open-label study to assess the safety and tolerability of lumateperone in pediatric patients with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or autism spectrum disorder.

Detailed description

The study will enroll pediatric patients as follows:

De Novo Patients:

* Patients with schizophrenia, including patients who have previously participated in the lumateperone open-label pediatric pharmacokinetic (PK) study (Study ITI-007-020) * Patients with bipolar disorder who have previously participated in the lumateperone open-label pediatric PK study (Study ITI-007-030) * Patients with irritability associated with autism spectrum disorder who have previously participated in the lumateperone open-label pediatric PK study (Study ITI-007-035)

Rollover Patients:

* Patients with bipolar disorder who are enrolling directly from a lead-in efficacy study. * Patients with irritability associated with autism spectrum disorder who are enrolling directly from a lead-in efficacy study.

This study will be conducted as follows:

* A Screening Period of up to 2 weeks during which patient eligibility will be assessed. * A 26-week Open-label Treatment Period (OLTP) during which all patients will receive open-label lumateperone once daily. * A 2-week Safety Follow-up (SFU) Period: All patients should return to the clinic for the SFU visit approximately 2 weeks after the last dose of open-label lumateperone.

Interventions

• Drug Lumateperone
  Lumateperone 5 mg - 42 mg capsules or orally disintegrating tablets administered orally, once daily based on age and indication

Primary outcome measures

• Incidence of Common Adverse Events [Time frame: Up to 6 months]

• ADHD: If a subject is taking psychostimulant(s) for ADHD, they must have been on a stable treatment regimen of these medication(s) for 30 days prior to Screening.

• For ASD patients only, based on Investigator opinion and DSM-5 criteria, mild or moderate intellectual disability is allowed. Severe or profound intellectual disability is exclusionary.
• In the opinion of the Investigator, the patient has a significant risk for suicidal behavior during their participation in the study or

• At Screening, the patient scores "yes" on Suicidal Ideation Items 3, 4, or 5 of the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C SSRS) within 6 months prior to Screening or, at Baseline, the patient scores "yes" on Suicidal Ideation Items 3, 4, or 5 since the Screening Visit;
• At Screening, the patient has had 1 or more suicidal attempts within the 2 years prior to Screening; or
• At Screening or Baseline, scores > 3 on Item 13 (suicidal ideation) of the CDRS-R (for bipolar disorder patients only); or
• The patient is considered to be an imminent danger to him/herself or others.
