Brief Summary:
The primary objective of this pragmatic clinical trial (Main Study) was to assess the difference between all-cause hospitalizations in participants using Abilify MyCite versus virtual matched controls. In addition, secondary and exploratory objectives were to assess medication adherence, healthcare utilization and costs, and patient-reported outcomes.
Detailed Description:
This was a phase 4, open-label, prospective, pragmatic clinical trial to assess the difference between all-cause hospitalizations in participants using Abilify MyCite (for Months 1-3, then prohibited for Months 4-6) versus virtual matched controls from baseline to Day 180. Virtual matched controls were to receive treatment as usual (that is, any product other than Abilify MyCite, which was oral aripiprazole or any other product). Eligible participants entered a screening period of up to 13 days. For participants enrolling into the study, those not on aripiprazole at screening used the screening period for conversion to aripiprazole from other antipsychotics. Virtual matched controls were not to be enrolled into the study, but identified from health insurance claims data and matched to the enrolled Abilify MyCite participants at the end of the study for analysis.
After the visit at Day 180, a second, optional interventional period (up to 6 months of Abilify MyCite) could have been initiated per the joint decision of the participants with their study physician; participants in this second, optional interventional period were to have a visit at Day 360. During this second, optional interventional period, participants may have started and stopped Abilify MyCite as clinically indicated.
A parallel exploratory study that would utilize a different set of physicians and participants from the main study was planned; however, that study was never initiated.
