About this trial

This is a global, Phase 3, multicenter, open-label extension trial designed to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy of SEP-363856 administered at doses of 50 milligrams (mg) or 75 mg per day in adult participants with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) over a treatment period of 26 weeks.

Able to continue treatment without interruption, and is considered by investigator to potentially benefit from SEP-363856

Participant is willing and able to comply with study procedures and visit schedule

Disqualifiers

Diagnosis other than GAD that is the primary focus of treatment

Clinically significant psychiatric or medical condition that may interfere with study participation

Lifetime history of meeting Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) criteria for, or was diagnosed during the prior study with, a psychiatric disorder that would compromise accurate assessment of safety and efficacy outcomes

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), and TEAEs Leading to Discontinuation

Time frame
Throughout the trial (up to Week 27)

Secondary outcomes

1

Change From Baseline in Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) Total Score

The HAM-A is a clinician-administered rating scale developed to quantify the severity of anxiety symptomatology. It consists of 14 items, each defined by a series of symptoms. Each item is scored on a 5-point Likert-type scale ranging from 0 (absent) to 4 (very severe). The total score ranges from 0 to 56, with higher scores indicating greater severity.

Time frame
Baseline, Weeks 8, 14, and 26
2

Change From Baseline in Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) Score

The CGI-S is a clinician-rated assessment of the participant's current illness state on a 7-point Likert-type scale (1=normal, not at all ill; 7=among the most extremely ill participants), where a higher score is associated with greater illness severity. A decrease in value indicates improvement.

Time frame
Baseline, Weeks 8, 14, and 26

Other outcomes

1

Percentage of Participants With Any Change in Laboratory Tests Values From Baseline

Time frame
Baseline, Weeks 8, 20, and 26
2

Percentage of Participants With Any Change in Potentially Clinically Relevant Vital Signs From Baseline

Vital signs including blood pressure, heart rate and body temperature will be recorded.

Time frame
From Baseline up to Week 26
3

Percentage of Participants With Any Change From Baseline in Weight, Body Mass Index (BMI) and Waist Circumference

Time frame
Baseline, Weeks 8 and 26
4
