Study summary

This study is open to adults with schizophrenia who took part in a previous CONNEX study (study 1346-0011, 1346-0012, or 1346-0013). The purpose of this study is to find out how well people with schizophrenia can tolerate a medicine called Iclepertin in the long term.

Participants take Iclepertin as tablets once a day for 1 year. In addition, all participants take their normal medication for schizophrenia.

Participants are in the study for a little more than 1 year. During this time, they visit the study site about 13 times and get about 9 phone calls from the study team.

The doctors collect information on any health problems of the participants. Doctors also regularly check the participants' symptoms of schizophrenia.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Occurence of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    Number of participants with treatment emergent adverse events.

    Time frame: From first until last drug administration plus residual effect period. Up to a maximum of 61.9 weeks.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in Clinical Global Impressions - Severity (CGI-S) to End of Treatment (EOT)

    The change from baseline in the Clinical Global Impressions - Severity score (CGI-S) to end of treatment (EOT), calculated as \[CGI-S EOT\] - \[CGI-S baseline\] is reported. The CGI-S is composed of 1 question rated on a 4-point scale describing the severity of a patient's impairment, where 1 = none, 2 = mild, 3 = moderate, and 4 = severe.

    Time frame: At baseline and at EOT. Up to a maximum of 60.1 weeks.

  2. Change From Baseline in Haemaglobin (Hb) to End of Treatment (EOT)

    Change in haemoglobin (Hb) from baseline to end of treatment (EOT), calculated as \[last Hb on treatment\] - \[Hb baseline\], is reported.

    Time frame: At baseline and at EOT. Up to a maximum of 60.1 weeks.

Limitations and caveats
As per protocol, end of treatment was planned for Week 52. Forty-nine patients stayed longer on treatment (protocol deviation), up to a maximum of 60.1 weeks.

Participant flow

Multi-center, multi-national, open label, single arm extension trial in patients with cognitive impairment due to schizophrenia who had completed 26 weeks of treatment with 10 milligrams (mg) iclepertin or matching placebo, taken once daily in one of the three Phase III (CONNEX) parent trials (trial 1346-0011, 1346-0012 or 1346-0013).
