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.

Qualifiers

Provide written informed consent before the initiation of any study specific procedures

Is currently an outpatient, and is anticipated to maintain outpatient status for the duration of the study

Ability to follow study instructions and likely to complete all required visits

Disqualifiers

In the opinion of the Investigator, the participant has a significant risk for suicidal behavior during the course of her/his participation in the study or is considered to be an imminent danger to her/himself or others, and/or: a. At baseline, the participant scores "yes" on suicidal Ideation Items 4 or 5 of the Columbia-suicide severity rating scale (C-SSRS) "Since Last Visit" version; b. At baseline, the participant scores >= 5 on the Montgomery-Asberg depression rating scale (MADRS) Item 10 (suicidal Thoughts); c. The participant is considered to be an imminent danger to themself or others based on the assessment of the Investigator

The participant is breast-feeding or pregnant; female participants of childbearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test at baseline

Based on the Investigator's clinical judgement, any abnormal clinical laboratory test or electrocardiogram (ECG) results obtained throughout the lead-in study that are considered clinically significant and preclude safe participation in the study

The participant has any other condition that may be detrimental to the participant if they participate in the study

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

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.

Time frame
Up to Week 52

Secondary outcomes

1

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.

Time frame
Baseline up to Week 52
2

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.

Time frame
Baseline up to Week 52
