About this trial
The purpose of this study is to assess how safe ITI-1284 is and how well it can be tolerated in long-term, when given alone or with other medicines, in participants with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) who have not responded to treatment previously. GAD is a mental health condition defined by constant, uncontrollable worry about everyday things that lasts for six months or more.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs)
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), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product.
Secondary outcomes
Change from Baseline in Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) Total Score
The HAM-A Scale is a clinician-rated scale measuring both psychic anxiety (mental agitation and psychological distress) and somatic anxiety (physical complaints related to anxiety). Each item is rated on a 5-point scale ranging from 0 = not present to 4 = very severe, disabling symptoms. The HAM A total score ranges from 0 to 56 where higher score indicates greater severity in symptoms.
Change from Baseline in Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI S) Score
The CGI-S scale is a standardized assessment tool that the clinician can use to rate the overall severity of illness. The CGI-S asks the clinician: "Considering your total clinical experience with this particular population, how mentally ill is the patient at this time? which is rated on the following seven-point scale: 1 = normal, not at all ill; 2 = borderline ill; 3 = mildly ill; 4 = moderately ill; 5 = markedly ill; 6 = severely ill; 7 = among the most extremely ill subjects. Higher scores indicate worse outcome.
