Study summary

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.

Read the 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.

  • Has a primary psychiatric diagnosis other than schizophrenia, bipolar I or bipolar II disorder or autism spectrum disorder. Schizophrenia with catatonia, or bipolar disorder with psychotic features are not allowed. Exceptions include:

    • 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. The treatment regimen should remain stable throughout the study. This must be confirmed by the Investigator and noted in the source records.
    • For ASD patients only, based on Investigator opinion and 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.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

DSM diagnostic criteria

The American Psychiatric Association’s manual of mental health diagnoses. DSM-5 (2013, revised as DSM-5-TR in 2022) replaced DSM-IV, and some studies still name the older edition. “Meets DSM criteria for …” means diagnosed by that edition’s diagnostic criteria, usually by a clinician in an interview.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of Common Adverse Events

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not considered drug-related. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product.

    Time frame: Up to 6 months

2 registry updates since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Jan 2024 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Apr 2032, 99 months after the start.

Of 99 industry-sponsored phase 3 interventional studies under Schizophrenia, half reached primary completion within 32 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 20 and three quarters within 41. This study's planned 99 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 113 studies reached it within 32 months; a quarter within 20 and three quarters within 46.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
