Description
WO 2008/025781 PCT/EP2007/058958 BIFEPRUNOX DOSES FOR TREATING SCHIZOPHRENIA [001] The present invention relates to a daily dose of bifeprunox for the treatment of a patient with schizophrenia, the treatment with bifeprunox of patients with stable schizophrenia and of patients with actute exacerbations of schizophrenia and to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a dose of at least one bifeprunox compound. [002] Schizophrenia is a lifelong disabling psychiatric disorder characterized by severe and variable symptoms, including positive and negative symptoms, cognitive deficits and depression. The course of the illness can be divided into 4 major phases: premorbid, acute, stable/maintenance and late course. The premorbid phase refers to symptoms, which occur before the onset of positive symptoms. During the acute phase patients experience overt positive symptoms such as delusions and hallucinations. The stable/maintenance phase may be divided into two subphases. The first 5 to 10 years of illness are often characterized by multiple exacerbations of positive symptoms, with more stable periods interspersed between acute episodes. This subphase is followed by a plateau phase which is characterized by a stabilization of symptoms and a reduced number of exacerbations. Key treatment goals during the maintenance phase are to facilitate the patient's return to the community and establish a long-term maintenance plan. In the late course phase of the illness, positive symptoms tend to diminish with age and many patients with long-term impairments regain some degree of social and occupational competence, however, the effects of years of dysfunction are rarely overcome. [003] In the maintenance and late course phases of schizophrenia, the majority of patients continue to face a number of problems, such as a need for further symptomatic improvement and long-term control of psychotic symptoms, including prevention of relapses; maintenance of cognitive function; prevention of weight increase, hyperglycemia, and dyslipidemia; and improvement in quality of life. In addition, positive symptoms may become more resistant to treatment with each succeeding episode. Consistent with this notion, 85%-90% of patients with schizophrenia experience clinical deterioration. Further, at least half of patients given antipsychotic agents do not comply with the treatment regimen prescribed and are thus at risk for relapse. Therefore, despite intense effort aimed at improving treatment, a large proportion of patients with schizophrenia are severely disabled; they relapse often and may require hospitalization.
WO 2008/025781 PCT/EP2007/058958 2 [004] Compounds currently used to treat schizophrenia have been associated with several undesirable side effects. These side effects include weight gain, hyperprolactinemia, elevated triglyceride levels, the metabolic syndrome (markers: diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and obesity), prolonged QTc intervals, glucose 5 abnormalities, and the exhibition of extrapyramidal symptoms. For example, prolonged QTc intervals, i.e., the corrected QT interval in an electrocardiogram, can lead to problematic heart rhythms, or heart arrhythmias. Similarly, the weight gain observed with conventional atypical antipsychotics, such as risperidone and olanzapine, has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes mellitus. 10 [005] In addition, schizophrenia treatment using medication may be over extended periods of time. As such, these undesirable side effects affect patients on a daily basis as well as contributing to their long-term health. These side effects may also lead to noncompliance with a patient's treatment regimen. Even when treatment is for a limited and/or short duration, side effects affect a patient's willingness to comply with 15 treatment regimens. [006] Therefore, a need exists for methods for avoiding and/or reducing these undesirable side effects as well as maintaining, reducing, and /or improving baseline conditions of a patient undergoing schizophrenia treatment. [007] The present inventors have discovered that treating schizophrenia 20 patients with (a pharmaceutical composition) comprising a dose of at least one bifeprunox compound, particularly a daily dose of 20-30 mg, makes it possible to reduce and/or avoid one or more of these side effects and one or more symptoms of schizophrenia. In an embodiment of the invention, the dose is administered once-daily. Embodiments of specific doses are a 20 mg dose and 30 mg dose. Particularly preferred 25 is a daily dose of 20 mg. [008] Favourable effects of this treatment include, but are not limited to, reduction of the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score in a patient, maintenance of body weight, maintenance and/or improvement of triglycerides levels and/or total cholesterol levels, maintenance of clinical stability of schizophrenia in 30 particular in patients with chronic, stable schizophrenia (treatment effects are e.g. an increase of the time to deterioration), improvement of one or more psychotic symptoms or maintenance and or/reduction of extrapyramidal signs and symptoms (EPS) profile similar to baseline measurements before administration. Other favourable effects are a WO 2008/025781 PCT/EP2007/058958 3 reduction of the incidence of hyperglycemia and/or one or more diabetes-related adverse events. [009] In an embodiment of the invention bifeprunoxis used for the long-term treatment of a patient with schizophrenia, in particular in a daily dose of 20-30 mg. The 5 term "long term treatment" refers for example to at least 3 months or at least 6 months treatment. [010] The embodiments disclosed herein, while providing some general overview of various embodiments of the present disclosure, are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure in any manner. 10 [011] Bifeprunox compounds are described in U.S. Patent No. 6,225,312 and U.S. Patent No. 7,030,241, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. The hydrochloric acid salt of this compound (7-[4-([1,1'-biphenyl]-3-ylmethyl)-1 piperazinyl]-2(3H)-benzoxazolone (bifeprunox) is described and claimed in W097/36893 and the monomethanesulfonate salt is described and claimed in W002/066449. In the 15 second of these patent publications, the direct formation of the monomethanesulfonate salt by the reaction between the reactive mesylate ester of N,N,N-bis(2-ethanol)-m phenylbenzyl amine and 7-amino-2(3H)-benzoxazolone is disclosed. A stable polymorph of bifeprunox monomethanesulfonate salt is disclosed and claimed in WO 2005/016898. Also included in the term "bifeprunox compounds" are bifeprunox N-oxides. A bifeprunox 20 N-oxide is disclosed and claimed in WO 2007/023141. [012] Bifeprunox compounds are indicated for the treatment of CNS (central nervous system) disorders, including schizophrenia, other psychotic disorders (in particular psychosis) and Parkinson's disease. In the framework of the present invention, dosage strength (or dose) is expressed in an amount equivalent to a 25 bifeprunox base. As used herein, the term "bifeprunox base" refers to the compound 7 [4-([1,1 '-biphenyl]-3-ylmethyl)-1 -piperazinyl]-2(3H)-benzoxazolone (INN bifeprunox) having the following formula: WO 2008/025781 PCT/EP2007/058958 4 H -~N 0 CN N [013] As used herein, the term "bifeprunox compound(s)" refers to the active compound 7-[4-([1,1'-biphenyl]-3-ylmethyl)-1-piperazinyl]-2(3H)-benzoxa-zolone, its N-oxide and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates and hydrates thereof. When 5 the N-oxide is used as the bifeprunox compound, the amount in milligrams is the same amount as the amount the person skilled in the art would select for the bifeprunox compound without the oxide. In addition, pharmaceutically acceptable salts of bifeprunox or its N-oxide may be obtained using standard procedures well known in the art, for example, by mixing a compound of the present invention with a suitable acid, for 10 instance an inorganic acid or an organic acid. [014] The present disclosure is directed to the use of bifeprunox in the treatment of schizophrenia for maintaining, reducing and/or improving conditions associated with the treatment of schizophrenia by administering to a patient in need thereof a pharmaceutical composition comprising a dose of at least one bifeprunox 15 compound. For example, the pharmaceutical composition comprises at least one bifeprunox compound in an amount ranging from 5 mg to 40 mg, such as, from 10 mg to 40 mg or further for example, from 20 mg to 30 mg of a bifeprunox compound. In an embodiment, bifeprunox is used in the treatment of a patient with schizophrenia having weight problems or susceptible to weight problems. 20 [015] An embodiment of the invention relates to a daily dose of bifeprunox for the treatment of a patient with schizophrenia, wherein the dose is 20-30 mg of at least one bifeprunox compound. Particularly, said dose is useful for maintaining clinical stability in a patient with stable schizophrenia, and more particularly chronic, stable schizophrenia. Embodiments thereof are a dose of 20 mg and a dose of 30 mg, 25 respectively. [016] In a further embodiment the present invention relates to a daily dose of bifeprunox for the treatment of a patient with acutely exacerbated schizophrenia wherein WO 2008/025781 PCT/EP2007/058958 5 the dose is 20-30 mg of at least one bifeprunox compound. Embodiments thereof are a dose of 20 mg and a dose of 30 mg, respectively, used in said treatment with favourable side effects. [017] An embodiment of the present invention relates to bifeprunox for use in the 5 treatment of patients (in particular with schizophrenia) with psychoses and mood disorders wherein bifeprunox (i.e. at least one bifeprunox compound) is administered in combination with the mood-stabilizing drug lithium, and a kit for said use. [018] A further embodiment of the present invention relates to bifeprunox for use in the treatment of patients with a CNS disorder (in particular with schizophrenia) 10 wherein at least one bifeprunox compound is administered in combination with an antidepressant (in particular an SSRI, specifically paroxetine), and a kit for said use.. [019] Further embodiments of the invention relate to (methods for) co administration of bifeprunox with a CYP2C9 inhibitor (for example fluconazole), with a CYP3A4 inhibitor (for example ketoconazole and carbamazepine), with a CYP2D6 15 inhibitor (for example paroxetine) and with a H2-antagonist (for example famotidine), respectively, and kits for said treatment. [020] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the at least one bifeprunox compound comprises bifeprunox mesylate. Preferably, the at least one bifeprunox compound is bifeprunox mesylate. The bifeprunox mesylate may be chosen from the a, 20 y, or 6 crystalline polymorphic forms, and mixtures thereof. For example, the at least one bifeprunox compound comprises at least one polymorphic form chosen from the a and y polymorphic forms. [021] The crystalline polymorphic form of a bifeprunox mesylate according to the present disclosure is defined by at least the physicochemical parameters as disclosed in 25 WO 2005/016898 [022] In another embodiment, the present disclosure provides bifeprunox mesylate in which at least about 50 percent by weight (wt. %), at least about 60 wt. %, at least about 70 wt. %, at least about 80 wt. %, at least about 90 wt. %, or at least about 95 wt. % of the bifeprunox mesylate is in the polymorphic a form. In another 30 embodiment, the pharmaceutical composition is substantially devoid of any y or 5 polymorphic forms of bifeprunox mesylate. In another embodiment, the bifeprunox mesylate provided by the present disclosure comprises less than 10 wt. %, less than 5 wt. %, or less than 2.5 wt. % of the y or 5 polymorphic forms of bifeprunox mesylate. In WO 2008/025781 PCT/EP2007/058958 6 another embodiment, at least about 99 wt. % of bifeprunox mesylate is in the polymorphic cx form. [023] The preparation of polymorphic form ax can be carried out according to the procedures decribed in WO 2005/016898. 5 [024] The at least one bifeprunox compound according to the present disclosure can be formulated into dosage forms in which the active substance is present in the solid form by methods known in the art. Examples of said dosage forms are (optionally coated) tablets, capsules, granular aerosols, suppositories and suspensions. Such dosage forms can be prepared by mixing the at least one 10 bifeprunox compound with inert pharmaceutically acceptable excipients and carriers. [025] Pharmaceutical compositions of the present disclosure can comprise at least one pharmaceutical excipient. Non-limiting examples of suitable excipients include suspending agents (for example, gums, xanthans, cellulosics and sugars), humectants (for example, sorbitol), solubilizers (for example, ethanol, water, PEG and propylene 15 glycol), surfactants (for example, sodium lauryl sulfate, Spans, Tweens, and cetyl pyridine), preservatives, antioxidants (for example, parabens, and vitamins E and C), anti-caking agents, coating agents, chelating agents (for example, EDTA), stabilizers, antimicrobial agents, antifungal or antibacterial agents (for example, parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, sorbic acid), isotonic agents (for example, sugar, sodium 20 chloride), thickening agents (for example, methyl cellulose), flavoring agents (for example, chocolate, thalmantin, aspartame, root beer or watermelon or other flavorings stable at pH 7 to 9), anti-foaming agents (e.g., simethicone, Mylicon*), disintegrants, flow aids, lubricants, adjuvants, colorants, diluents, moistening agents, preservatives, carriers, binders (for example, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, polyvinyl pyrilodone, other 25 cellulosic materials and starch), diluents (for example, lactose and other sugars, starch, dicalcium phosphate and cellulosic materials), disintegrating agents (for example, starch polymers and cellulosic materials), glidants and water insoluble or water soluble lubricants or lubricating agents.

EXAMPLES [035] The following examples are only intended to further illustrate the present 10 disclosure, in more detail, and therefore these examples are not deemed to restrict the scope of the present disclosure in any way. [036] EXAMPLE 1. EFFICACY OF BIFEPRUNOX IN THE TREATMENT OF SCHIZOPHRENIA 15 [037] A six-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled and risperidone referenced study was used to assess the efficacy and safety of fixed doses of bifeprunox in the treatment of schizophrenia. A total of 599 subjects were randomized. [038] Treatment started with a single-blind placebo lead-in period of at least 20 three days, followed by titration from 0.25 mg up to 30 mg/day or 40 mg/day of bifeprunox for bifeprunox-treated subjects. Risperidone-treated subjects were titrated from 2 mg to 6 mg daily over a three-day period and maintained at 6 mg/day for the remainder of the treatment period. [039] Rating scale assessments were performed weekly, except for week 5, to 25 measure the change from baseline to endpoint of the PANSS total score. Other assessments included: PANSS positive symptom subscale score, PANSS negative symptom subscale score, PANSS general pschopathology subscale score, BPRS total score, BPRS psychosis score, the CGI-S score, the CGI-I score, responder rates based on the PANSS total score, and the Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia (CDSS). 30 [040] Safety and tolerability measures included physical examinations, weight, waist circumference, vital signs, 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), clinical laboratory assessments (hematology, biochemistry, urinalysis, special laboratory assessments for prolactin, IGF-1, IGFBP-3, thyroid function), need for anticholinergic treatment during WO 2008/025781 PCT/EP2007/058958 9 double-blind treatment period, concomitant medication use, adverse event monitoring and assessments of normal movement. [041] The 20 mg bifeprunox treatment group showed a statistically significant difference from placebo for the primary endpoint of change from baseline to endpoint in 5 PANSS total score. The mean change (standard deviation) from baseline to endpoint in PANSS total score was -13.5 (20.1) for the 30 mg bifeprunox group, -10.3 (20.5) for the 40 mg bifeprunox group, -7.7 (19.2) for the placebo group, and -19.7 (19.3) for the risperidone group. [042] The 30 mg bifeprunox group showed notable differences from placebo 10 for CGI-S score, PANSS negative symptom subscale score, and PANSS positive symptom subscale score. Notable differences were also observed between the 30 mg bifeprunox group and placebo for the change from baseline to endpoint in PANSS general psychopathology subscale score, BPRS total score, BPRS psychosis cluster score, PANSS responder rate, and CGI-I responder rate. In the study, a PANSS 15 responder refers to a subject whose PANSS total score decreased by 20% or more from baseline to endpoint. A CGI-I responder refers to a subject who was categorized as "very much improved" or "much improved" in the CGI Global Improvement scale at endpoint. [043] The 40 mg bifeprunox group showed a notable difference from placebo 20 for the change in PANSS positive symptom subscale score and BPRS psychosis cluster score. [044] Decreases in body weight were seen in bifeprunox treatment groups in contrast to an increase in the placebo and risperidone treatment groups. [045] The bifeprunox groups had a lower incidence of N to H shifts in 25 triglycerides, VLDL, and LDL, and a higher incidence of N to L shifts in total cholesterol and VLDL compared with the placebo and risperidone groups. EXAMPLE 2. CLINICAL STUDIES DIRECTED TO BIFEPRUNOX IN THE TREATMENT OF SCHIZOPHRENIA 30 Example 2a - CLINICAL STUDY ONE [046] Objectives: This clinical study's primary objective was to investigate whether six weeks of treatment with 5 mg, 10 mg, or 20 mg bifeprunox is superior to treatment with placebo in adult subjects with schizophrenia, using the change from Baseline to Endpoint of the Positive and Negative Symptom Scale (PANSS) total score WO 2008/025781 PCT/EP2007/058958 10 as the primary outcome measure. The secondary objectives were to assess the efficacy of bifeprunox in treating schizophrenia using the positive symptom sub-scale score of the PANSS, the negative symptom sub-scale score of the PANSS, the general psychopathology sub-scale of the PANSS, the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) 5 total score derived from the PANSS, the BPRS psychosis derived from the PANSS, the Clinical Global Impressions Severity of Illness score (CGI-S), the Clinical Global Impressions Improvement score (CGI-1), and responder rate based on the PANSS total score and CGI-I responder rate. It was also an objective of this study to To assess the safety and tolerability of bifeprunox using physical examination, weight, vital signs 10 (including pulse rate and systolic/diastolic blood pressure (BP) -both lying after five minutes and standing after two minutes, and oral temperature), 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), safety laboratory assessments including hematology, biochemistry, and urinalysis, need for anticholinergic treatment during double-blind treatment period, concomitant medication use, adverse event monitoring, and 15 assessments of abnormal movement including the Simpson-Angus Scale (SAS), Barnes Akathisia Scale (BAS), and Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS). [047] Methodology: This was a randomized, double-blind, fixed-dose, placebo-controlled, risperidone-referenced, parallel group, multi-center study in adult subjects with schizophrenia. There were five treatment groups in this study. The 20 treatment groups were as follows: bifeprunox 5 mg, bifeprunox 10 mg, bifeprunox 20 mg, risperidone 6 mg and placebo. Study medication was administered once daily. After Baseline measurements were performed, the titration phase was begun. Bifeprunox treated subjects were titrated up to 5 mg, 10 mg or 20 mg according to a standardized titration schedule (Day 1: 0.125 mg, Day 2: 0.25 mg, Day 3: 0.5 mg, Day 4: 1.0 mg, Day 25 5: 2.0 mg, Day 6: 5.0 mg, Day 7: 10.0 mg, Day 8: 20 mg). When the assigned dose was reached, subjects were maintained at that dose for the remainder of the six-week treatment period. Risperidone treated subjects were titrated to 6 mg over three days (Day 1: 2 mg, Day 2: 4 mg, Day 3: 6 mg) using a once-daily regimen. [048] Number of Subjects (Planned, Screened, Randomized and 30 Analyzed): A total of 575 patients with Schizophrenia were planned for inclusion in the study. A total of 836 subjects were screened at 40 centers and a total of 589 subjects (5 mg bifeprunox: 115 subjects; 10 mg bifeprunox: 120 subjects; 20 mg bifeprunox: 115 subjects; placebo: 119 subjects; risperidone: 120 subjects) were randomized at 37 centers.
WO 2008/025781 PCT/EP2007/058958 11 [049] Test Product, Dose and Mode of Administration: Bifeprunox tablets, total daily dose 0.125 mg to 20 mg administered orally using a once daily dosing regimen. [050] Reference Therapy, Dose and Mode of Administration: Placebo and 5 risperidone, 2 mg to 6 mg administered orally using a once daily dosing regimen. [051] Efficacy Results: The 20 mg bifeprunox dose was effective in reducing both positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia and lessening overall psychopathology compared to placebo as shown by the statistically significant comparisons from the analysis of PANSS total and subscale scores. Subjects in the 20 10 mg bifeprunox group had a 5.8 point greater improvement from Baseline in PANSS total score compared with placebo subjects. The lower doses of bifeprunox were not effective. The 10 mg dose of bifeprunox did not show statistically greater improvement for any efficacy endpoint. The 5 mg dose showed greater improvement on some secondary efficacy measures compared to placebo, but did not show superiority to 15 placebo for the primary efficacy endpoint (PANSS total score). Risperidone 6 mg was used as an active reference in this study and showed clear separation from the placebo group. In general, the magnitude of the improvements seen in the 20 mg bifeprunox group was smaller than those seen in the risperidone group for most efficacy endpoints. [052] Safety Results: The percentage of subjects with at least one 20 treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) was similar across treatment groups: 89% (102 subjects) in the 5 mg bifeprunox group, 87% (104 subjects) in the 10 mg bifeprunox group, 83% (95 subjects) in the 20 mg bifeprunox group, 85% (101 subjects) in the placebo group, and 89% (107 subjects) in the risperidone group. Overall, out of 349 subjects treated with bifeprunox, the most frequently reported TEAEs were headache, 25 dyspepsia, insomnia, nausea, vomiting NOS, constipation, and agitation. TEAEs with a higher incidence (25% difference) in the 20 mg bifeprunox group (N = 114 subjects) compared with the placebo group (N = 119 subjects) included constipation, dyspepsia, and vomiting NOS. Related TEAEs with a higher incidence (25% difference) in the 20 mg bifeprunox group compared with placebo were constipation, vomiting NOS, and 30 headache NOS. The percentage of subjects with at least one severe TEAE was lowest in the 20 mg bifeprunox group (11 subjects, 10%) followed by the placebo group (15 subjects, 13%). For the remaining groups, the percentage of subjects with at least one severe TEAE ranged from 16% to 18%. The incidence of TEAEs considered to be severe was similar (<5% difference) between the 20 mg bifeprunox group and the WO 2008/025781 PCT/EP2007/058958 12 placebo group for all TEAEs. There were no dose-related trends in the bifeprunox groups in overall incidence, incidence of related, or incidence of severe TEAEs observed for any event. [053] The total number of subjects with at least one SAE was higher in the 5 active treatment groups(bifeprunox groups: 12-15%, risperidone group: 16%) compared with the placebo group (9%). The most commonly reported SAEs (25% in any treatment group) were aggravated psychosis and aggravated schizophrenia NOS. There was a slightly higher incidence of aggravated schizophrenia NOS in the 20 mg bifeprunox group (8 subjects, 7%) compared with placebo and risperidone (5 subjects each, 4%). 10 Suicide attempt was reported for one subject in the 10 mg bifeprunox group (<1%), two subjects in the 20 mg bifeprunox group (2%), no subjects in the placebo group, and no subjects in the risperidone group. The serious adverse event of suicidal ideation was reported for one subject each (<1%) in the 10 mg bifeprunox and risperidone groups (one additional subject in the 20 mg bifeprunox group experienced a non-serious 15 adverse event of suicidal ideation). No trend of dose-related increase in incidence of any SAE was observed for the bifeprunox groups. Bifeprunox was safe and well tolerated at all dose levels. The total number of subjects with at least one AE that led to discontinuation was similar among treatment groups (5 mg bifeprunox: 13 subjects, 11%; 10 mg bifeprunox: 17 subjects, 14%; 20 mg bifeprunox: 11 subjects, 10%; placebo: 20 15 subjects, 13%; risperidone: 17 subjects, 14%). The most common (reported by >2% of subjects in any treatment group) AEs that led to discontinuation were agitation, aggravated psychosis, and aggravated schizophrenia NOS. There were no treatment group differences in incidence of AEs leading to discontinuation of study medication between the 20 mg bifeprunox group and the placebo group. There was no trend of 25 dose-related increase in incidence of AEs leading to discontinuation in the bifeprunox groups. Evaluation of laboratory, vital sign, ECG and physical exam findings did not raise any unexpected safety concerns. Bifeprunox subjects exhibited a decrease in prolactin compared with the placebo group. Mild weight loss was observed in the bifeprunox groups but not in the placebo or risperidone groups. 30 [054] There were no notable differences between treatment groups in changes from Baseline to Endpoint in BAS, SAS, or AIMS scores. Use of anticholinergic medication for patients treated with bifeprunox was similar to that of patients on placebo and less than in patients on risperidone.
WO 2008/025781 PCT/EP2007/058958 13 [055] Conclusion: On conclusion of this study is that a 20 mg dose of bifeprunox given once daily for six weeks was effective in reducing both positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia. Overall, all doses of bifeprunox were safe and well tolerated by schizophrenic subjects. No dose-response relationship of safety/tolerability 5 was seen. Example 2b - CLINICAL STUDY TWO [056] Primary Objectives: To investigate whether six weeks of treatment with fixed doses of bifeprunox (30 mg/day or 40 mg/day) can demonstrate superior efficacy 10 compared with placebo in adult subjects with schizophrenia, using the change from Baseline to Endpoint of the Positive and Negative Symptom Scale (PANSS) total score as the primary outcome. [057] Secondary Objectives: To assess the efficacy of bifeprunox in treating schizophrenia using the positive symptom sub-scale score of the PANSS, the negative 15 symptom sub-scale score of the PANSS, the general psychopathology sub-scale of the PANSS, Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) total score derived from the PANSS, BPRS psychosis score derived from the PANSS, the Clinical Global Impression Severity of Illness score (CGI-S), the Clinical Global Impression Improvement score (CGI-1), responder rate based on the PANSS total score, Calgary Depression Scale for 20 Schizophrenia (CDSS), and subject satisfaction rating. Pharmacokinetic (PK) data of bifeprunox in schizophrenic subjects were also assessed and are presented in a separate report (combined with data from study S1543003). To assess the safety and tolerability of bifeprunox using physical examination, weight, waist circumference, vital signs (pulse rate and systolic/diastolic blood pressure [BP] -both lying after five minutes 25 and standing after two minutes, and oral temperature), 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), clinical laboratory assessments (hematology, biochemistry, urinalysis, special laboratory assessments for prolactin, IGF-1, IGFBP-3, and thyroid function), need for anticholinergic treatment during double-blind treatment period, concomitant medication use, adverse event (AE) monitoring, and assessments of abnormal movement including 30 the Simpson-Angus Scale (SAS), Barnes Akathisia Scale (BAS), and Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS). [058] Methodology: This was a Phase Ill, six-week randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, risperidone-referenced, parallel-group, multi-center study of the efficacy, tolerability, and safety of bifeprunox in adult subjects with schizophrenia.
WO 2008/025781 PCT/EP2007/058958 14 Subjects who completed this study had the option to continue in the long-term. The treatment groups were: bifeprunox 30 mg/day, bifeprunox 40 mg/day, risperidone 6 mg/day, and placebo. After completing a Single-Blind placebo lead-in period of at least three days, bifeprunox-treated subjects were titrated from 0.25 mg up to 30 mg/day or 40 5 mg/day according to a standardized titration scheme over an eight-day period. When the assigned dose was reached, subjects were maintained at that dose for the remainder of the six week treatment period. Risperidone-treated subjects were titrated from 2 mg to 6 mg daily over a three-day period and were subsequently maintained at 6 mg/day for the remainder of the treatment period. Rating scale assessments for efficacy and abnormal 10 movement disorders were done weekly except for Week 5. Safety assessments were performed at Screening, during treatment and at the end of the study. Subject satisfaction with study medication was assessed at Week 6. Samples of blood were obtained at Weeks 2, 4, and 6 for determination of bifeprunox in plasma. Blood samples were also obtained at Screening/Baseline, Week 3, and Week 6 for clinical laboratory 15 assessments. [059] Number of Subjects (Planned, Consented, Randomized and Analyzed): A total of 576 subjects with schizophrenia were planned for inclusion in the study. Of 783 screened subjects, a total of 599 subjects were randomized (30 mg bifeprunox: 148 subjects, 40 mg bifeprunox: 148 subjects; placebo: 149 subjects; 20 risperidone: 154 subjects). [060] Diagnosis and Main Criteria for Inclusion: Male or female subjects 18-75 years of age with schizophrenia (per DSM-IV-TR criteria). Subjects had to have a total score on the PANSS between 70 and 120; at least two of four PANSS items (conceptual disorganization, hallucinatory behavior, suspiciousness, unusual thought 25 content) had to have a score 4; and the score on the CGI-S had to be at least 4. [061] Reference Therapy, Dose and Mode of Administration: Placebo and risperidone, 6 mg administered orally once daily. [062] Efficacy Results: The 30 mg bifeprunox treatment group showed a statistically significant difference from placebo for the primary endpoint of change from 30 Baseline to Endpoint in PANSS Total Score (LOCF) based on the Hochberg adjusted p value (adjusted p=0.020). The 40 mg bifeprunox treatment group was not significantly different from the placebo group (adjusted p=0.156) for the primary efficacy endpoint. The mean change (SD) from Baseline to Endpoint in PANSS total score was -13.5 (20.1) for the 30 mg bifeprunox group, -10.3 (20.5) for the 40 mg bifeprunox group, -7.7 (19.2) WO 2008/025781 PCT/EP2007/058958 15 for the placebo group, and -19.7 (19.3) for the risperidone group. The treatment effect values (for mean change from Baseline at Endpoint [LOCF]) corresponding to the difference between bifeprunox and placebo were: -5.9 for the 30 mg bifeprunox group and -3.2 for the 40 mg bifeprunox group. No statistically significant difference based on 5 the planned step-down procedure was seen in change from Baseline to Endpoint in CGI S for the 30 mg bifeprunox treatment group compared to placebo. Consequently, the differences between placebo and 30 mg bifeprunox groups for change from Baseline to Endpoint in PANSS Negative Symptom and PANSS Positive Symptom subscale scores were not evaluated using the stepdown procedure for statistical significance compared 10 to placebo. The 30 mg bifeprunox group showed notable differences from placebo for CGI-S score (nominal p=0.028), PANSS Negative Symptom subscale score (nominal p=0.027), and PANSS Positive Symptom subscale scores (nominal p=0.010). [063] Notable differences were observed between the 30 mg bifeprunox group and placebo for the change from Baseline to Endpoint in PANSS general 15 psychopathology subscale score (p=0.025), BPRS total score (p=0.019), BPRS psychosis cluster score (p=0.002), PANSS (30%) responder rate (p=0.019), and CGI-I responder rate (p=0.039). No notable differences at Endpoint were observed between the 30 mg bifeprunox group and placebo for subject satisfaction (p=0.051), CGI Improvement score, or CDSS score. For the 40 mg bifeprunox group, no statistically 20 significant difference from placebo was seen for the primary efficacy parameter. No notable differences from placebo were noted for the 40 mg bifeprunox group for any of the secondary efficacy parameters with the exception of PANSS Positive Symptom Subscale score (p=0.020) and BPRS Psychosis cluster score (p=0.031). [064] Safety Results: The percentage of subjects with at least one TEAE 25 was comparable in the bifeprunox dose groups (74%-76%) and was higher than the placebo group (64%) but slightly lower than in the risperidone group (78%). Treatment emergent AEs with a higher (25% difference) incidence in the bifeprunox groups compared with the placebo group included nausea, vomiting, constipation, dyspepsia, diarrhoea, and dizziness. No difference between bifeprunox treatment groups was 30 generally observed in the incidence of individual TEAEs in the bifeprunox groups. Of TEAEs occurring in at least 5% of subjects in any treatment group, those having a higher (22% difference) incidence in the 40 mg bifeprunox group compared with the 30 mg bifeprunox group included nausea, vomiting, toothache, anorexia, akathisia, dizziness, headache, and insomnia. In contrast, dry mouth, salivary hypersecretion, decreased WO 2008/025781 PCT/EP2007/058958 16 appetite, sedation, somnolence, anxiety, and vaginitis occurred with a higher (22% difference) incidence in the 30 mg bifeprunox group compared with the 40 mg bifeprunox group. The incidence of severe TEAEs was generally low (51% incidence) with the exception of TEAEs of psychotic disorder (56%) and schizophrenia (3% each in the 5 bifeprunox and placebo groups and 2% in the risperidone group). The incidence of severe TEAEs was generally comparable across treatment groups and there was no difference between bifeprunox treatment groups in the incidence of severe TEAEs for any event. Special interest TEAEs were defined prior to database lock and included events related to suicide, suicide attempt, sexual dysfunction, syncope, vasovagal 10 attack, and postural hypotension. A total of 76 subjects (13%) overall reported at least one TEAE of special interest during the study. The percentage of subjects with at least one special interest TEAE was higher in the bifeprunox and risperidone treatment groups (12%-16%) compared with the placebo group (6%). The majority of TEAEs of special interest occurred in 51% of subjects in any treatment group. Dizziness was the 15 most commonly reported and occurred at a slightly higher incidence in the bifeprunox treatment groups compared with the other two groups. [065] A total of 60 subjects (10%) overall experienced 81 SAEs (including deaths). Most SAEs occurred in 51% of subjects. The exceptions were psychotic disorder (55%) and schizophrenia (3% in each of the four treatment groups). The 20 incidence of SAEs was comparable among bifeprunox groups and placebo. There were no notable differences between treatment groups on measures of abnormal movement (BAS, SAS, or AIMS scores). Use of anticholinergic medication for subjects treated with bifeprunox was similar to that of subjects treated with placebo. Overall, there were no clinically meaningful changes in clinical laboratory parameters, physical examination 25 findings, or ECG readings with bifeprunox. The bifeprunox groups had a lower incidence of N to H shifts in triglycerides, VLDL, and LDL and a higher incidence of N to L shifts in total cholesterol and VLDL compared with the placebo and risperidone groups. The incidence of markedly abnormal total cholesterol values was similar across treatment groups (1% to 2%). Markedly abnormal triglyceride values were reported by slightly 30 fewer subjects in the 40 mg bifeprunox group compared with other groups. There was a slightly greater incidence of N to H shifts in tri-iodine thyronine in the 30 mg bifeprunox and risperidone groups (6% each) compared with the placebo (4%) and 40 mg bifeprunox (5%) groups and slightly greater incidence of N to L shifts in TSH in the 30 mg bifeprunox (4%) and the 40 mg bifeprunox (5%) compared with the placebo (2%) WO 2008/025781 PCT/EP2007/058958 17 and risperidone (<1%) groups. Small comparable decreases in body weight were seen in bifeprunox treatment groups in contrast to an increase in the placebo and risperidone treatment groups. The incidence of markedly abnormal decreases in body weight was slightly higher in both the bifeprunox treatment groups relative to the placebo and 5 risperidone groups, while the incidence of markedly abnormal increases in body weight was higher in the risperidone treatment group relative to the bifeprunox and placebo groups. [066] Conclusion: One conclusion of this study is that a 30 mg dose of bifeprunox given once daily for six weeks was effective in reducing the symptoms of 10 schizophrenia as shown by the statistically significant comparisons from the analysis of PANSS total scores. Subjects in the 30 mg bifeprunox group had a 5.9 point greater improvement from Baseline to Endpoint in PANSS total score compared with placebo subjects based on LOCF data. The statistically significant differences noted between the active control, risperidone and placebo treatments for the primary and secondary 15 efficacy parameters demonstrate that this is a valid study. [067] The 30 mg bifeprunox treatment group showed a notable difference from placebo (based on nominal p-values) for the three key secondary efficacy endpoints, change from Baseline to Endpoint in CGI-S, PANSS Negative, and Positive Symptom subscale scores; statistical significance was not achieved based on the step 20 down procedure for these three key secondary efficacy endpoints. Notable differences were observed between the 30 mg bifeprunox group and placebo at Endpoint for most of the other secondary efficacy parameters (change from Baseline to Endpoint in PANSS general psychopathology subscale score, BPRS total score, and BPRS psychosis cluster score). Notable differences between the 30 mg bifeprunox dose and placebo 25 were also demonstrated at Endpoint for PANSS and CGI-I Responder rates. The 40 mg bifeprunox treatment group did not show statistically significant differences from placebo for the primary efficacy parameter. There were no notable differences between the 40 mg bifeprunox and placebo groups for any of the secondary efficacy parameters with the exception of PANSS Positive Symptom Subscale and BPRS cluster score. Overall, 30 30 mg and 40 mg doses of bifeprunox were safe and well tolerated by schizophrenic subjects.
WO 2008/025781 PCT/EP2007/058958 18 [068] Example 2c: CLINICAL STUDY THREE Primary Objective: To investigate whether six weeks of treatment with fixed doses of bifeprunox (20 mg/day or 30 mg/day) can demonstrate superior efficacy compared with placebo in adult subjects with schizophrenia, using the change from Baseline to 5 Endpoint of the Positive and Negative Symptom Scale (PANSS) total score as the primary outcome. Secondary Objectives: To assess the efficacy of bifeprunox in treating schizophrenia using the Positive Symptom sub-scale score of the PANSS, the Negative Symptom sub scale score of the PANSS, the General Psychopathology sub-scale of the PANSS, Brief 10 Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) total score derived from the PANSS, BPRS psychosis score derived from the PANSS, the Clinical Global Impression Severity of Illness score (CGI-S), the Clinical Global Impression Improvement score (CGI-1), CGI-I responder rate, PANSS responder rate based on the PANSS total score, Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia (CDSS), and Subject Satisfaction rating. To assess the safety and 15 tolerability of bifeprunox using physical examination, weight, waist circumference, vital signs (pulse rate and systolic/diastolic blood pressure [BP], and oral temperature), 12 lead electrocardiogram (ECG), clinical laboratory assessments (hematology, biochemistry including fasting insulin level, fasting glucose, fasting lipid profile, urinalysis, special laboratory assessments for prolactin, IGF-1, IGFBP-3, and thyroid 20 function), need for anticholinergic treatment during double-blind treatment period, concomitant medication use, adverse event (AE) monitoring, and assessments of abnormal movement including the Simpson-Angus Scale (SAS), Barnes Akathisia Scale (BAS), and Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS). Methodology: This was a Phase Ill, six week randomized, double-blind, placebo 25 controlled, olanzapine-referenced, parallel group, multi-center study of the efficacy, tolerability, and safety of bifeprunox in adult subjects with schizophrenia. There were four treatment arms in this study, approximately 144 subjects per arm. The treatment groups were: bifeprunox 20 mg/day, bifeprunox 30 mg/day, olanzapine 15 mg/day, and placebo. After completing the Single-Blind Placebo Lead-in Period of at least three days, 30 bifeprunox-treated subjects were titrated from 0.25 mg up to 20 mg/day or 30 mg/day according to a standardized titration scheme over a seven- or eight-day period, respectively. When the assigned dose was reached, subjects were maintained at that dose for the remainder of the six week treatment period. Olanzapine-treated subjects began dosing at 10 mg/day for the initial seven day period and, were subsequently WO 2008/025781 PCT/EP2007/058958 19 maintained at 15 mg/day for the remainder of the treatment period. Subjects were hospitalized (if not already inpatients) after eligibility for study entry was verified, starting from the Screening Visit until at least 10 days after Baseline. Subjects could be hospitalized longer than 10 days if considered medically necessary by the Investigator. 5 Rating scale assessments for efficacy and abnormal movement disorders were done weekly except for Week 5. Safety assessments were performed at Screening, during treatment and at the end of the study. Subject satisfaction with study medication was assessed at Week 6. Samples of whole blood were obtained at Weeks 2, 4, and 6 for determination of bifeprunox in plasma. 10 Number of Subjects (Planned, Consented, Randomized and Analyzed): A total of 576 subjects with schizophrenia were planned for inclusion in the study. A total of 814 subjects were screened at 32 centers and a total of 604 subjects (20 mg bifeprunox: 154 subjects, 30 mg bifeprunox: 150 subjects; placebo: 150 subjects; olanzapine: 150 subjects) were randomized at 32 centers. 15 Diagnosis and Main Criteria for Inclusion: Male or female subjects 18-75 years of age with schizophrenia (per DSM-IV-TR criteria). Subjects must have had a total score on the PANSS between 70 and 120; at least two of four PANSS items (conceptual disorganization, hallucinatory behavior, suspiciousness, unusual thought content) must have had a score 4; the score on the CGI-S must have been at least 4. 20 Test Product, Dose and Mode of Administration: Bifeprunox tablets, total daily dose 20 mg or 30 mg (one 20 mg tablet and one 10 mg tablet) administered orally using a once daily dosing regimen. Reference Therapy, Dose and Mode of Administration: Placebo and olanzapine, 5 mg and 15 mg administered orally using a once daily dosing regimen. 25 Efficacy Results: Both the 20 mg and 30 mg treatment groups showed improvements over Baseline at Endpoint but did not demonstrate efficacy as compared to the placebo group with respect to the primary and key secondary efficacy parameters. However, the 20 mg bifeprunox group showed notable improvement over the placebo group for the change from Baseline to Endpoint in a secondary efficacy parameter, CGI improvement 30 score (nominal p = 0.027). Additionally in one other secondary efficacy parameter, the difference between the 20 mg bifeprunox group and the placebo group approached being notable (p = 0.061) for PANSS-20%-responder rate. However, these occurrences of notable and nearly notable differences among the secondary efficacy parameters do not exceed what is expected to happen by chance, i.e., in 5% of the treatment WO 2008/025781 PCT/EP2007/058958 20 comparisons. In all other secondary and key secondary parameters, neither bifeprunox treatment group showed notable improvement over the placebo group for any efficacy endpoint. Olanzapine at a dose of 15 mg was used as an active reference in this study. The difference of the PANSS total score between olanzapine and placebo was analyzed 5 in accordance with sensitivity analyses. These results showed that olanzapine was notably different from placebo (p < 0.001). In general, the magnitude of the improvements seen in the bifeprunox dose groups was higher than those seen in the placebo group, but lower than those seen in the olanzapine group for most efficacy endpoints. 10 Safety Results: The percentage of subjects with at least one treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) was highest in the 20 mg bifeprunox group (126 subjects, 82%) followed by the 30 mg bifeprunox (115 subjects, 77%), olanzapine (110 subjects, 73%), and placebo (107 subjects, 72%) groups. Overall, out of 304 subjects treated with bifeprunox, the most frequently reported TEAEs were headache, nausea, vomiting, 15 dyspepsia, and insomnia. TEAEs with a higher incidence (25% difference) in the bifeprunox groups compared with the placebo group included nausea, vomiting, and constipation. In general, no clear dose-related increase in the incidence of individual TEAEs was observed in the bifeprunox groups. TEAEs with a slightly higher (22% difference) incidence in the 30 mg bifeprunox group compared with the 20 mg bifeprunox 20 group included fatigue, dizziness, and sedation. The percentage of subjects with at least one severe TEAE was comparable in the bifeprunox treatment groups and the placebo group (9% to 12%) and slightly less in the olanzapine treatment group (6%). There was no clear indication of a dose-related increase in the incidence of severe TEAEs in the bifeprunox groups for any event. Special interest TEAEs were defined prior to database 25 lock and included the following events: suicide, suicide attempt, events related to sexual dysfunction, syncope, vasovagal attack, and postural hypotension. A total of 58 subjects (10%) overall reported at least one TEAE of special interest during the study. The total number of subjects with at least one special interest TEAE was higher in the bifeprunox treatment groups (30 mg bifeprunox: 20 subjects, 13%; 20 mg bifeprunox: 17 subjects, 30 11%) compared with the placebo (11 subjects, 7%) or olanzapine (10 subjects, 7%) groups. The majority of TEAEs of special interest occurred in 51% of subjects in any treatment group. The most commonly reported TEAE of special interest was dizziness which had a slightly higher incidence in the bifeprunox treatment groups compared with the other two groups (30 mg bifeprunox: 15 subjects, 10%; 20 mg bifeprunox: 13 WO 2008/025781 PCT/EP2007/058958 21 subjects, 8%; placebo: nine subjects, 6%; olanzapine: eight subjects, 5%). Other special interest TEAEs occurring in at least two subjects within a treatment group included syncope vasovagal (30 mg bifeprunox: two subjects) and orthostatic hypotension (30 mg bifeprunox: three subjects). 5 The percentage of subjects with at least one SAE was least in the olanzapine treatment group (six subjects, 4%) followed by the bifeprunox groups (20 mg: 15 subjects, 10%; 30 mg: 12 subjects, 8%), with the highest incidence of SAEs noted in the placebo group (20 subjects, 13%). The most commonly reported SAEs were psychotic disorder (4% of subjects overall) and schizophrenia (2% overall). The incidence of these SAEs was 10 similar or lower in the bifeprunox groups compared with the placebo group. Two subjects in the 30 mg bifeprunox group had a SAE of syncope vasovagal compared with no subjects in the other treatment groups. Apart from this possible exception, there were no other notable indications of a doserelated increase in the incidence of any other SAE observed for the bifeprunox groups. The percentage of subjects who discontinued study 15 medication due to an AE was greatest in the placebo group (11%) followed by the bifeprunox groups (8% each) and the olanzapine treatment group (6%). The percentage of subjects with at least one AE that led to study termination was greatest in the placebo group (12%) with comparable percentages of subjects having at least one AE leading to study termination in the 20 mg bifeprunox (8%), 30 mg bifeprunox (7%), and olanzapine 20 (6%) treatment groups. The most common (reported by >2% of subjects in any treatment group) AEs that led to discontinuation of study medication were psychotic disorder and schizophrenia. There was no clear trend of a dose-related increase in the incidence of AEs leading to discontinuation of study medication in the bifeprunox groups. Evaluation of laboratory, vital sign and ECG findings did not raise any unexpected safety concerns. 25 Subjects in the bifeprunox group exhibited a decrease in prolactin compared with subjects in the placebo and olanzapine groups. The incidence of markedly abnormal decreases in body weight was comparable among bifeprunox treatment and placebo groups (5% to 6%) and was lower in the olanzapine treatment group (<1%). The incidence of markedly abnormal increases in body weight was comparable in the 30 bifeprunox and placebo groups (1% to 3%) and much higher in the olanzapine (19%) group. There were no notable differences between the treatment groups in changes from Baseline to Endpoint in BAS, SAS, or AIMS scores. Use of anticholinergic medication for subjects treated with bifeprunox was similar to that of subjects on placebo.
WO 2008/025781 PCT/EP2007/058958 22 Discussion and conclusion: This was a six-week randomized, double-blind, fixed dose, placebo-controlled, parallel group, multi-center study of the efficacy, tolerability and safety of bifeprunox with olanzapine as an active reference in the treatment of 604 subjects with schizophrenia. The study was conducted at 32 centers in the United States 5 (26), Colombia (3), and India (5). This was a valid study evidenced by the results demonstrating statistically significant differences between the active control olanzapine, and placebo treatment for the primary efficacy parameter. 10 Both the 20 mg and 30 mg treatment groups showed improvements over Baseline at Endpoint but did not demonstrate efficacy as compared to the placebo group with respect to the primary and key secondary efficacy parameters. However, the 20 mg bifeprunox group showed notable improvement over the placebo group for the change from Baseline to Endpoint in a secondary efficacy parameter, CGI improvement score 15 (nominal p = 0.027). Additionally in one other secondary efficacy parameter, the difference between the 20 mg bifeprunox group and the placebo group approached being notable (p = 0.061) for PANSS-20%-responder rate. However, these occurrences of notable and nearly notable differences among the secondary efficacy parameters do not exceed what is expected to happen by chance, i.e., in 5% of the treatment 20 comparisons. In all other secondary and key secondary parameters, neither bifeprunox treatment group showed notable improvement over the placebo group for any efficacy endpoint. Olanzapine at a dose of 15 mg was used as an active reference in this study. In general, the magnitude of the improvements seen in the bifeprunox dose groups was higher than 25 those seen in the placebo group, but lower than those seen in the olanzapine group for most efficacy endpoints. In contrast, in the large study in Clinical Study One, the 20 mg bifeprunox dose was effective in reducing both positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia and lessening overall psychopathology compared to placebo as shown by statistically 30 significant comparisons from the analysis of PANSS total and subscale scores. In the present study, using the observed values analysis of change from Baseline to Week 6 in the PANSS total score, results were more similar between the 20 mg bifeprunox (-24.42 [15.6]), 30 mg bifeprunox (-24.56 [17.02]), and olanzapine (-29.11 [16.88]) groups, however the placebo group also demonstrated similar results (-22.29 WO 2008/025781 PCT/EP2007/058958 23 [19.14]). This indicates that subjects who stayed in the study for six weeks responded well to their treatment regimen. Bifeprunox was well tolerated at both dose levels. The rate of withdrawal due to adverse events was lower in the bifeprunox groups compared with the placebo group. Adverse 5 events appearing more frequently in bifeprunox treated subjects than in placebo subjects were mainly gastrointestinal in nature and mild to moderate in severity. Only two subjects (in the 20 mg bifeprunox group) discontinued study medication due to gastrointestinal AEs (one subject discontinued due to nausea, one subject discontinued due to nausea and vomiting). The percentage of subjects with at least one SAE was 10 lower in the bifeprunox groups (7% to 8%) compared with the placebo group (13%). The most commonly reported SAEs were psychotic disorder (4% overall) and schizophrenia (1% overall). The incidence of these SAEs was similar or lower in the bifeprunox groups compared with the placebo group. Two subjects in the 30 mg bifeprunox group had a SAE of vasovagal syncope compared with no subjects in the other treatment groups. 15 Apart from this possible exception, there were no other notable indications of a dose related increase in the incidence of any other SAE for the bifeprunox groups. Evaluation of laboratory, vital sign, and ECG findings did not raise any unexpected safety concerns. Bifeprunox was associated with a decrease in prolactin consistent with what has been seen in previous studies and expected on the basis of the partial 20 dopamine agonistic profile of the drug, and was not associated with any AEs. In contrast, increases in prolactin were observed in the placebo and olanzapine groups. Small decreases in mean body weight were noted in the bifeprunox groups while an increase in weight was noted for the olanzapine group. The incidence of markedly abnormal decreases in body weight was comparable among bifeprunox treatment and 25 placebo groups (5 % to 6%) and was lower in the olanzapine treatment group ( 1%). The incidence of markedly abnormal increases in body weight was comparable in the bifeprunox and placebo groups (1% to 3%) and much higher in the olanzapine (19%) group. These findings are consistent with what has been observed in other bifeprunox studies and are noteworthy given that weight gain has been problematic for atypical 30 antipsychotics and is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes mellitus. There were no notable differences between treatment groups on measures of abnormal movement (BAS, SAS, or AIMS scores). Use of anticholinergic medication for subjects treated with bifeprunox was similar to that of subjects on placebo. The incidence of WO 2008/025781 PCT/EP2007/058958 24 extrapyramidal disorder was low in all groups (bifeprunox groups:<1 % to 3%; olanzapine: 1%; placebo: 3%). The 20 mg and 30 mg doses of bifeprunox did not show statistically significantly greater improvement compared with placebo for most efficacy endpoints. Better CGI improvement scores were seen in the 20 mg (but not 30 mg) 5 bifeprunox group compared with the placebo group. Nausea, vomiting, and constipation were the more notable AEs relative to placebo. Overall, 20 mg and 30 mg doses of bifeprunox were safe and well tolerated by subjects with schizophrenia. 10 Example 2d - CLINICAL STUDY FOUR [069] Primary Objective: to investigate whether 6 months of bifeprunox treatment is superior to treatment with placebo in patients with chronic schizophrenia, using the time to deterioration from randomization as the primary outcome measure. [070] Secondary Objective: to investigate whether the acute effect after 6 15 weeks of bifeprunox treatment is superior to treatment with placebo, using the change from baseline in Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score as the outcome measure. [071] Other Secondary Objective: To evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of bifeprunox versus placebo. 20 [072] Methodology: This study was a multinational, multicentre, randomised, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled, fixed-dose study. The study consisted of a 3- to 6-day antipsychotic-free run-in period, after which patients were randomised to 6 months of double-blind treatment with fixed doses of bifeprunox (20mg/day (BX20) or 30mg/day (BX30)) or placebo (PBO). Patients allocated to the BX groups were up 25 titrated from 0.25mg/day over 7 days (BX20) or 8 days (BX30), and then continued on these doses for the remainder of the study. Efficacy assessments were made at baseline (except CGI-1) and at Weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, and 9, and at Months 3, 4, 5, and 6. Safety assessments were performed at screening, during treatment, and at the end of the study. At predetermined time points, blood samples were obtained for drug 30 concentration analysis of BX and its major metabolites (3'- and 4'-sulfate conjugates of BX), and pharmaco-economic assessments were performed. [073] Number of Patients Planned and Analyzed: There were a total of 495 patients that were planned for enrolment: 165 in each treatment group.
WO 2008/025781 PCT/EP2007/058958 25 [074] Diagnosis and Main Inclusion Criteria: Patients with a primary diagnosis of schizophrenia, according to DSM-IV-TR criteria, for more than 2 years, who: had a PANSS total score 260 and a CGI-S score 4 (moderately ill) at screening and baseline; had PANSS items P7 (hostility) and G8 (uncooperativeness) scores 54 5 (moderate) at screening and baseline; were between 18 and 65 years of age (extremes included); were inpatients, partially hospitalized, or outpatients followed up in a day care program within 90 days; and prior to screening had no modification of antipsychotic medication within 1 month prior to screening. [075] Investigational Product, Dose and Mode of Administration, Batch 10 Number: Bifeprunox - up-titration over 7 (20 mg) or 8 days (30 mg) to 20 or 30 mg once daily; encapsulated tablets, orally. [076] Reference Therapy, Dose and Mode of Administration: Placebo encapsulated tablets, orally. [077] Efficacy Results: The primary efficacy variable was the time to 15 deterioration and the analysis was based on the FAS. The primary efficacy analysis rejected the hypothesis of equal time to deterioration of schizophrenia in the three treatment groups (Cox model, p = 0.008). Subsequent pairwise comparisons of each of the BX groups and the PBO group showed that patients in the BX groups had a statistically significantly longer time to deterioration of schizophrenia than patients in the 20 PBO group (BX20: p = 0.008 and BX30: p = 0.006). The proportion of patients who deteriorated was 59% in the PBO group, 41% in the BX20 group, and 38% in the BX30 group. The Cox proportional hazards model gave an estimated hazard ratio of 0.66 (BX20) and 0.65 (BX30) relative to PBO; that is, the risk of deterioration was approximately 1.5 times higher for patients in the PBO group than for patients in the 25 BX20 or BX30 groups. Bifeprunox was also statistically significantly superior to PBO in the analysis of time to deterioration based on the PPS. Since most of the patients in the PPS participated for most of the study, the results were very close to the results of the primary analysis, both for the estimated hazard ratios and the p-values obtained. This illustrates the robustness of the conclusion of the primary efficacy analysis. The 30 secondary efficacy variable was the PANSS total score at Week 6. The adjusted mean change from baseline to Week 6 in PANSS total score (FAS, LOCF) for each BX group (BX20: -4.0; BX30: -2.7) was statistically significantly greater than that for the PBO group (1.1) (BX20: p = 0.002; BX30: p = 0.017) according to Hochberg's Step-up Method.
WO 2008/025781 PCT/EP2007/058958 26 [078] For the development over time in PANSS total scores, PANSS positive and general psychopathology subscale scores, BPRS total scores, and BPRS psychosis cluster scores (all FAS, LOCF), the same general pattern was seen: initially (until Weeks 6 or 9), the mean scores decreased and subsequently they stabilized in both BX groups, 5 whereas in the PBO group, the mean scores decreased until Weeks 2 or 4, after which the scores increased steadily. For each of these variables, pairwise comparisons of each of the BX groups with the PBO group for the FAS using the LOCF (ANCOVA) showed that treatment with BX (either dose) was generally statistically significantly superior to treatment with PBO from Week 6 or 9 onwards. 10 [079] The mean PANSS negative subscale scores (FAS, LOCF) decreased in both BX groups until Week 6, after which the scores stabilised. In the PBO group, the scores decreased until Week 4, after which the scores tended to increase. In the per visit LOCF analysis (FAS, ANCOVA) of the mean PANSS negative subscale scores, treatment with both BX doses was statistically significantly superior to that with PBO at 15 all time points, except at Weeks 2 and 4 for the BX30 group. [080] For all treatment groups, the mean CDSS total scores (FAS, LOCF) decreased initially (baseline to Week 2), after which the scores either remained stable (both BX groups) or increased (PBO group) over time. In the per-visit LOCF analysis (FAS, ANCOVA) of the mean CDSS total scores, there were no statistically significant 20 differences between either of the BX groups and the PBO group at any time point. This result should be seen in the context that the baseline CDSS scores were low, reflecting a low level of depressive symptomatology. [081] The mean CGI-S scores (FAS, LOCF) decreased in both BX groups until Week 6, after which the scores stabilised. In the PBO group, the mean CGI-S 25 scores decreased until Week 4, after which the scores tended to increase. In the per visit LOCF analysis (FAS, ANCOVA) of the mean CGI-S scores, the BX groups were statistically significantly superior to the PBO group at Months 3, 4, 5, and 6 for BX20 and Months 5 and 6 for BX30. [082] The mean CGI-I scores (FAS, LOCF) decreased in both BX groups until 30 Week 6, after which the scores stabilized. In the PBO group, the scores decreased minimally until Week 2, after which the scores increased steadily. In the per-visit LOCF analysis (FAS, ANCOVA) of the mean CGI-I scores, both BX doses were statistically significantly superior to PBO from Week 6 onwards.
WO 2008/025781 PCT/EP2007/058958 27 [083] For the small number of patients who fulfilled the criteria for predominantly negative symptoms (PBO: 25 patients; BX20: 32 patients; BX30: 36 patients), the adjusted mean change from baseline in PANSS total scores (all groups) and in PANSS positive subscale scores (PBO and BX20) generally followed the same 5 patterns and were within the same range as those for the overall population. In contrast, the adjusted mean change from baseline in PANSS positive subscale score for patients treated with BX30 followed the same pattern over time as for the overall population but the change was larger. The adjusted mean change from baseline in PANSS negative subscale scores (all groups) followed the same pattern over time as the overall 10 population; however, the mean change was generally twice as large in this population relative to the overall population. In the per-visit LOCF analysis (ANCOVA) of PANSS total scores, PANSS positive subscale scores, and PANSS negative subscale scores, BX20 was not statistically significantly different from PBO at any time points. BX30 was statistically significantly superior to PBO in PANSS total scores from Week 6 onwards 15 and in PANSS positive subscale scores from Week 2, onwards whereas BX30 was not statistically significantly different from PBO from Week 2 onwards in PANSS negative subscale scores. [084] For the small number of patients who fulfilled the criteria for predominantly depressive symptoms (PBO: 18 patients; BX20: 15 patients; BX30: 22 20 patients), the PANSS total scores, the PANSS positive subscale scores, the PANSS negative subscale scores, and the CDSS total scores followed generally similar overall patterns as those for the overall population. In the per-visit LOCF analysis (ANCOVA) of the PANSS total scores, PANSS positive subscale scores, PANSS negative subscale scores, and CDSS total scores, there were no statistically significant differences 25 between either of the BX groups and the PBO group at any time point in this sub population, probably due to the low number of patients and the low level of depressive symptoms present at baseline. [085] The proportion of patients with at least a 25% reduction in PANSS total score (FAS, LOCF) in the BX20 group was statistically significantly larger than that in the 30 PBO group from Week 9 onwards, whereas the proportion of responders in the BX30 group was statistically significantly larger than that in the PBO group at Month 5 only. [086] A small proportion (0% to 8%) of patients (irrespective of treatment) had a reduction 35%, 45%, or 55% in PANSS total score. There was no trend between or WO 2008/025781 PCT/EP2007/058958 28 within treatment groups with respect to the distribution in the proportion of patients with a specific reduction. [087] The proportion of patients with a CGI-I score 52 (FAS, LOCF) at Week 6 and Month 6 was larger in the BX groups (Week 6: BX20 17%; BX30 19%; Month 6: 5 BX20 22%; BX30 20%) than in the PBO group (Week 6: 11%; Month 6: 9%). The differences between the BX groups and the PBO group were statistically significant (p<0.05) from Week 9 onwards (BX20) and from Week 9 onwards except Month 3 (BX30). [088] The mean total cholesterol and mean LDL calculated decreased from 10 baseline to Month 6 in all groups (except non-fasting PBO patients) irrespective of treatment and fasting/non-fasting condition. The mean VLDL calculated and triglycerides decreased from baseline to Month 6 in all groups (except non-fasting BX30 patients) irrespective of treatment and fasting/non-fasting condition. The mean HDL increased from baseline to Month 6 in all groups irrespective of treatment and fasting/non-fasting 15 condition. The adjusted mean HDL cholesterol values increased from baseline to Month 6 in all three treatment groups irrespective of fasting/nonfasting condition (PBO: 0.04/0.06 (fasting/non-fasting); BX20: 0.07/0.08; BX30: 0.07/0.08mmol/L). There were no statistically significant differences between either of the BX groups and the PBO group. 20 [089] The adjusted mean triglycerides values decreased from baseline to Month 6 in all three treatment groups irrespective of fasting/non-fasting condition (PBO: 0.06/-0.22 (fasting/non-fasting); BX20: -0.16/-0.21; BX30: -0.37/-0.03mmol/L). There were no statistically significant differences between either of the BX groups (except BX30 (fasting)) and the PBO group. 25 [090] The adjusted mean fasting glucose values increased from baseline to Month 6 in all three treatment groups (PBO: 0.10; BX20: 0.13; BX30: 0.09mmol/L) and there were no statistically significant differences between either of the BX groups and the PBO group. [091] The adjusted mean weight change from baseline to Month 6 (APTS, 30 OC, ANCOVA) was -0.8kg in the PBO group, -0.3kg in the BX20 group, and -0.5kg in the BX30 group. The adjusted mean weight decreases in the BX20 and the BX30 group were not statistically significantly different from that in the PBO group. [092] In all treatment groups, patients lost weight irrespective of whether they had nausea and/or vomiting, although those patients who also had nausea and/or WO 2008/025781 PCT/EP2007/058958 29 vomiting had a greater weight decrease (PBO: -0.6 versus -1.9kg; BX20: -1.0 versus 1.9kg; BX30: -1.1 versus -2.3kg). [093] There was no treatment effect of BX (either dose) on the patients' status of metabolic syndrome during the study. Approximately 75% (range: 70% to 80%) of the 5 patients did not have metabolic syndrome at baseline or at the end of the study. There were no statistically significant treatment differences in the patients' status of metabolic syndrome. [094] There were no clinically relevant changes within or differences between treatment groups in clinical laboratory values, vital signs, metabolic syndrome, or ECG 10 parameters. [095] Conclusions: One conclusion of this study is that both doses of bifeprunox (20 mg/day and 30 mg/day) prevented deterioration of schizophrenia statistically significantly better than placebo. For patients with chronic, stable schizophrenia, the baseline condition was significantly better maintained with BX (both 15 doses) than with PBO either after 6 weeks of treatment or after long-term treatment. A comparison of the safety profiles of bifeprunox and placebo showed a higher incidence of adverse events related to the gastrointestinal system and dizziness in the bifeprunox groups relative to the placebo group. The incidence of nausea and vomiting leading to withdrawal from the study and abnormal movements was higher in the BX30 group than 20 in the BX20 group. A favorable metabolic profile (based on weight changes, blood lipids and the presence/absence of metabolic syndrome) was seen for bifeprunox. RESULTS RELATED TO CLINICAL STUDIES ONE - FOUR PANSSTOTALSCORE 25 [096] CLINICAL STUDY ONE: The mean change (S.D.) from Baseline to Endpoint in PANSS total score was -9.7 (17.5) for the bifeprunox 5 mg group, -5.0 (18.3) for the bifeprunox 10 mg group, -11.3 (17.0) for the bifeprunox 20 mg group , -5.3 (16.3) for the placebo group, and -15.7 (14.9) for the risperidone group. The treatment effect values corresponding to the difference between bifeprunox and placebo mean change 30 from Baseline at Endpoint (LOCF) were -4.1, 0.6, and -5.8 for the bifeprunox 5 mg, 10 mg, and 20 mg groups respectively. From the pairwise comparisons, a statistically significantly greater decrease at Endpoint (LOCF) was seen for the 20 mg bifeprunox group versus placebo (p-value adjusted for multiple comparisons, p=0.031). No WO 2008/025781 PCT/EP2007/058958 30 significant treatment group differences were seen for the 5 mg bifeprunox and 10 mg bifeprunox treatment groups compared to placebo, respectively.

The treatment effect values 5 (for mean change from Baseline at Endpoint [LOCF]) corresponding to the difference between bifeprunox and placebo were: -5.9 for the 30 mg bifeprunox group and -3.2 for the 40 mg bifeprunox group. A statistically significant treatment group difference was seen for the 30 mg bifeprunox treatment group compared to placebo at Endpoint based on the Hochberg adjusted p-value (p=0.020). Differences between 30 mg bifeprunox and 10 placebo treatment groups were also noted at Week 2 through Week 4 from the nominal p-values (p:0.004 at each of Week 2 through Week 4). In addition, the treatment effect increased consistently over the 6 weeks of study (range of effect: -5.6 at week 2 and -6.3 at week 4; Table 3.0.1). No statistically significant difference between 40 mg bifeprunox group and placebo group was evident at Endpoint based on the Hochberg adjusted p 15 value.

Similarly no notable differences were observed between the placebo group and either of the two bifeprunox dose groups at any other time point during the study (Week 1 through Week 4). When data were analyzed only for those subjects having the same rater for each visit, differences in 5 mean change (SD) from Baseline to Endpoint in PANSS total score (LOCF) were similar to those observed in the primary analysis. The difference of the PANSS total score between olanzapine and placebo was analyzed in accordance with sensitivity analyses. These results showed that olanzapine was notably different from placebo (p < 0.001).

The pairwise WO 2008/025781 PCT/EP2007/058958 36 comparisons between the bifeprunox and placebo groups were not statistically significant. 5 [0102] CLINICAL STUDY TWO: The Table below presents PANSS Positive Symptom subscale scores at Baseline and the change from Baseline by visit using LOCF for the ITT population. The mean change (SD) from Baseline to Endpoint in PANSS Positive Symptom subscale scores was -4.5 (6.6) for the 30 mg bifeprunox group, -4.2 (6.9) for the 40 mg bifeprunox group, -2.5 (6.0) for the placebo group, and 10 7.2 (6.6) for the risperidone group. The treatment effect values (bifeprunox - placebo) at Endpoint LOCF were: -1.9 for the 30 mg bifeprunox group, and -1.7 for the 40 mg bifeprunox group. SEP1 did not yield a significant result, and therefore SEP2 and SEP3 were not evaluated (see Section 7.4.1.1). However, a notable difference between the bifeprunox 30 mg treatment group and placebo was observed at Endpoint (nominal 15 p=0.01). Notable differences between 30 mg bifeprunox and placebo treatment groups were also observed at Week 2 through Week 4 (p:0.006). [0103] Similarly, notable differences between the bifeprunox 40 mg treatment group and placebo were observed at Endpoint (p=0.020). Differences relative to placebo were also observed at Week 1 through Week 3 (p: 0.013).

Table 3.2.0. 5 CLINICAL STUDY FOUR: The mean PANSS negative subscale scores (FAS, LOCF) decreased in both BX groups until Week 6, after which the scores stabilized WO 2008/025781 PCT/EP2007/058958 44 (Fig.2; Panel 35). In the PBO group, the scores decreased until Week 4, after which the scores tended to increase (Panel 35). In the per-visit LOCF analysis (FAS, ANCOVA) of the mean PANSS negative subscale scores, treatment with BX20 or with BX30 was statistically significantly superior 5 to that with PBO at all time points, except at Weeks 2 and 4 for BX30. PANSS DATA FOR CLINICAL STUDY FOUR The mean PANSS total scores (FAS, LOCF) decreased over time in both BX groups until Week 9, after which the scores stabilized (Panel 28). In the PBO group, the 10 mean PANSS total scores decreased until Week 2, after which the scores increased steadily (Panel 28). The LOCF analysis of the PANSS total scores (Panel 28) shows that when the last observation was carried forward, the PANSS total scores in the BX groups remained stable. The changes in both BX groups were statistically significantly superior to that in 15 the PBO group from Week 6 onwards. In addition, BX20 was statistically significantly superior to PBO Week 4 onwards. The OC analysis of the PANSS total scores shows that patients who continued in the study improved over time (Panel 29). The changes in both BX groups were statistically significantly superior to that in the PBO group at a number of time points including Week 6, but excluding Month 6. 20 The differences between the LOCF and POCF analyses indicate that a number of patients who withdrew had a deterioration in their PANSS total score and withdrew at the first visit where a deterioration was seen. This is in line with the study design that required patients to be withdrawn from the study if they were at least minimally worse. For the other efficacy variables, the trends in the development over time in 25 efficacy scores were similar, except for CDSS, where the baseline levels indicate that the patients included in the study were not depressed.

The mean PANSS general psychopathology subscale scores (FAS, LOCF) decreased in both BX groups until Week 6, after which the scores stabilized (Fig.3; Panel 36). In the 5 PBO group, the mean PANSS general psychopathology subscale scores decreased until Week 2, after which the scores increased steadily (Panel 36). In the per-visit LOCF analysis (FAS, ANCOVA) of the PANSS general psychopathology subscale scores, both BX20 and BX30 were statistically significantly superior to PBO from Week 9 onwards. In addition, BX20 was statistically significantly 10 superior to PBO at Week 6. BPRS Total Score CLINICAL STUDY ONE: As shown in the Table below, the bifeprunox 20 mg group showed greater change in BPRS total score than the placebo group. Statistically significant treatment group differences were seen for bifeprunox 20 mg versus placebo 15 at every time point beginning at Week 2 (unadjusted p=0.042); Week 3 (unadjusted p=0.020); Week 4 (unadjusted p=0.024); Endpoint (LOCF) (unadjusted p=0.012).

CLINICAL STUDY THREE: The Table below presents frequencies for the seven categories of CGI Improvement ratings by visit using LOCF for the ITT population. Statistical differences among treatment groups regarding the mean CGI Improvement 5 score were evaluated using a CMH test stratified by pooled center applied to the frequencies of the seven CGI Improvement categories with modified ridit scores. The percentages of subjects who reported much or very much improvement combined, (derived by summing the corresponding individual percentages in Table 23) from WO 2008/025781 PCT/EP2007/058958 68 Baseline to Endpoint were: 38% in the 20 mg bifeprunox group, 34% in the 30 mg bifeprunox group, 32% in the placebo group, and 46% in the olanzapine group. Comparison of the 20 mg bifeprunox group versus placebo group at Endpoint was found to be notable (p=0.027). The treatment comparison of the 30 mg bifeprunox group 5 versus placebo group was not notable (p=O.162). No notable differences were observed between the placebo group and either of the two bifeprunox dose groups at any other time point during the study (Week 1 through Week 4).

WO 2008/025781 PCT/EP2007/058958 75 EPS EPS were assessed using treatment -emergent adverse events such as akathisia, dyskinesia, parkinsoniam, etc. and/or formal rating scales such as SAS, BAS, 5 and/or AIMS. Simpson-Angus Scale16 (SAS) The SAS is used to measure Parkinsonian-type symptoms in patients exposed to antipsychotics. The scale consists of 10 items, each rated on a 5-point scale ranging from O(complete absence of the condition) to 4 (presence of the condition in extreme 10 form). The SAStotal score is defined as the sum of all item scores, and the range is 0 to 40. A SAS total score of up to 3 is considered normal. Barnes Akathisia Scalel7 (BAS) The BAS is used to rate observable, restless movements of drug-induced akathisia as well as the subjective awareness of restlessness and any distress 15 associated with the akathisia. The scale consists of 3 items that is rated from 0 (no evidence of akathisia) to 3 (severe akathisia). The BAS total score is defined as the sum of the these three BAS item scores and ranges from is 0 to 9. In addition, a global clinical assessment of akathisia is rated from 0 (no evidence of akathisia) to 5 (severe akathisia). 20 Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale 18 (AIMS) The AIMS, designed to record the occurrence of dyskinetic movements, consists of 12 items. Items 1 to 7 measure specific involuntary movements on a scale from 0 (none) to 4 (severe). Items 8 to 10 measure global assessment of abnormal movement on a scale from 0 (no awareness) to 4 (aware, severe distress). Items 11 and 12 are 25 questions regarding the dental condition of the patient, with yes/no answers. The total score is calculated by summing AIMS items 1 through 10 and ranges from 0 to 40; the non-global total score is calculated by summing items 1 through 7.

The percentages of subjects with 5 normal and abnormal scores at each time point. At Baseline, the percentages of subjects with abnormal SAS scores ranged from 8% to 12%. At Endpoint, the percentages of subjects with abnormal SAS scores ranged from 3% to 10%. The percentage of subjects with abnormal SAS scores decreased between Baseline and Endpoint in all treatment groups. There were no statistically significant differences among the treatment groups in 10 the percentage of subjects shifting between categories from Baseline to Endpoint (p=0.800). The BAS score consists of an objective score, a score awareness of restlessness, a score of distress related to restlessness, a 3-item total score, and a global clinical assessment score. There were no statistically significant differences 15 among the treatment groups at Baseline or Endpoint for the objective score, awareness of restlessness score, distress related to restlessness score, the 3-item total score, or the global clinical assessment score. There were no statistically significant differences among the treatment groups in the percentage of subjects shifting between categories from Baseline to Endpoint in BAS 20 total scores or BAS Global Clinical Assessment scores. There were no statistically significant differences among the treatment groups at Baseline or Endpoint. There was WO 2008/025781 PCT/EP2007/058958 82 no statistically significant difference among the treatment groups in the values for change from Baseline to Endpoint. CLINICAL STUDY TWO: Simpson-Angus Scale global scores were evaluated as normal or abnormal at Baseline and Endpoint. At Baseline, the percentages of 5 subjects with abnormal SAS scores were: 14% in the 30 mg bifeprunox group, 11% in the 40 mg bifeprunox group, 7% in the placebo group, and 6% in the risperidone group. The percentage of subjects with abnormal SAS scores between Baseline and Endpoint decreased in the bifeprunox groups, were unchanged in the placebo group, and increased in the risperidone group. At Endpoint, the percentages of subjects with 10 abnormal SAS scores ranged from 7% in the 40 mg bifeprunox and placebo groups to 14% in the risperidone group. Shifts from normal at Baseline to abnormal at Endpoint were the highest in the risperidone group (19 subjects, 12%) compared to the other three treatment groups (30 mg bifeprunox: one subject, <1%; 40 mg bifeprunox: five subjects, 4%; placebo (six 15 subjects, 4%). A statistically significant difference (p<0.001) among the treatment groups was observed. The BAS score consists of an objective score, a subjective awareness of restlessness score, a score of distress related to restlessness, a 3-item total score, and a global clinical assessment score. There were no statistically significant differences 20 across the treatment groups at Endpoint for the objective score (p=0.093), awareness of restlessness score (p=0.368), distress related to restlessness score (p=0.779), the 3 item total BAS score (p=0.433), or the global clinical assessment of akathisia score (p=0.541). There were also no statistically significant differences across treatment groups at Baseline for the above measures (p 0.168). 25 There were no statistically significant differences across the treatment groups in the percentage of subjects shifting between categories from Baseline to Endpoint in BAS total scores (p = 0.482) or BAS Global Clinical Assessment scores (p=0.91 1). There were no statistically significant differences across the treatment groups at Baseline (mean range = 1.0 to 1.2; p=0.923) or Endpoint (mean range = 0.9 to 1.6; 30 p=0.138). There was no statistically significant difference across the treatment groups in the values for change from Baseline to Endpoint (mean range=-0.3 to 0.4; p=0.138). CLINICAL STUDY THREE: Simpson-Angus Scale global scores were evaluated as normal or abnormal at Baseline and Endpoint. At Baseline, the percentages of subjects with abnormal SAS scores ranged from 6% to 10%. At Endpoint, the WO 2008/025781 PCT/EP2007/058958 83 percentages of subjects with abnormal SAS scores ranged from 3% to 8%. The percentage of subjects with abnormal SAS scores decreased between Baseline and Endpoint in all treatment groups. There were no statistically significant differences among the treatment groups in the percentage of subjects shifting 5 between categories from Baseline to Endpoint (p = 0.463). The BAS score consists of an objective score, a subjective awareness of restlessness score, a score of distress related to restlessness, a 3-item total score, and a global clinical assessment score. There were no statistically significant differences among the treatment groups at Endpoint for the objective score (p = 0.421), awareness of restlessness score (p = 10 0.584), distress related to restlessness score (p = 0.254), the 3-item total score (p = 0.865), or the global clinical assessment score (p = 0.518). There was a statistically significant difference among treatment groups at Baseline for the subjective distress related to restlessness score (p = 0.029), but not for any other scores. There were no statistically significant differences among the treatment groups in 15 the percentage of subjects shifting between categories from Baseline to Endpoint in BAS total scores (p = 0.808) or BAS Global Clinical Assessment scores (p = 0.525). There were no statistically significant differences among the treatment groups at Baseline (p = 0.362) or Endpoint (p = 0.187). There was no statistically significant difference among the treatment groups in the values for change from Baseline to 20 Endpoint (p = 0.187). CLINICAL STUDY FOUR: SAS At baseline, the mean SAS total scores in all three treatment groups ranged from 25 2.17 to 2.33. There were minor fluctuations in the mean SAS total scores in all three treatment groups during the study, and at Month 6, the mean SAS total scores ranged from 0.57 to 1.16 (APTS, OC); thus, the mean total scores at baseline and at Month 6 were within normal range. The adjusted mean maximal changes from baseline to Month 6 in SAS 30 total scores were <1 in each treatment group (APTS, OC, ANCOVA). There were no clinically relevant differences between any of the treatment groups in SAS total scores. At baseline, the majority of patients (PBO: 74%; BX20: 71%; BX30: 72%) were normal with respect to SAS status and the proportion of normal patients had increased at Month 6 (PBO: 85%; BX20: 89%; BX30: 78%). There were no statistically significant WO 2008/025781 PCT/EP2007/058958 84 differences between any of the treatment groups in the shifts in SAS status (categories: no change; abnormal to normal; normal to abnormal). BAS At baseline, the mean BAS total scores in all three treatment groups ranged and 5 from 0.44 to 0.46. There were minor fluctuations in the mean BAS total score in all three treatment groups during the study, and at Month 6, the mean BAS total scores ranged from 0.05 to 0.17 (APTS, OC). The adjusted mean maximal changes from baseline to Month 6 in BAS total scores were <0.6 in each treatment group (APTS, OC, ANCOVA). There were no clinically relevant differences between any of the treatment groups in 10 BAS total scores. For the BAS global assessment scores, the trends were similar: there were minor fluctuations in the mean BAS global assessment scores in all three treatment groups during the study; the mean scores ranged from 0.22 to 0.26 at baseline, and from 0.07 to 0.14 at Month 6 (APTS, OC). There were no clinically relevant differences between any 15 of the treatment groups in BAS global assessment scores at Month 6 (APTS, OC). There were no statistically significant differences between any of the treatment groups in the distribution of BAS items 1, 2, or 3. AIMS The mean AIMS total scores in all three treatment groups were low and ranged 20 from 1.04 to 1.35 at baseline. There was for all treatment groups an initial increase in the adjusted mean scores (largest in the BX30 group), after which the mean scores decreased over time; at Month 6, the scores had returned to baseline level in all three treatment groups (PBO: 0.11; BX20: 1.08; BX30: 0.86 (APTS, OC)). The adjusted mean changes in AIMS total scores in the BX20 (all time points) and BX30 (Months 5 and 6) 25 groups were not statistically significantly different from those in the PBO group, whereas the adjusted mean change for BX30 (from Week 1 to Month 4) group was. The adjusted mean maximal changes from baseline to Month 6 in AIMS total score were small (PBO: 0.39; BX20: 1.21; BX30: 2.45, APTS, OC, ANCOVA). None of the differences were considered clinically significant.

At Endpoint, the mean weight loss for subjects in the bifeprunox treatment groups was approximately 1 lb (5 mg bifeprunox, -1.0 lb; 10 mg bifeprunox, -1.3 lb; 20 mg bifeprunox, -0.6 lbs). The placebo treatment group had a 10 mean weight gain of 1.9 lbs. Statistical testing of the change from Baseline in weight was performed using similar methodology to that used for the secondary efficacy parameters (an ANCOVA model with factors for treatment and weight at Baseline). Pairwise comparisons of the bifeprunox treatment groups versus placebo were all statistically significant (bifeprunox 5 15 mg [p=0.025], bifeprunox 10 mg [p=0.009] and bifeprunox 20 mg [p=0.031] for the difference between bifeprunox and placebo mean change from Baseline in weight at Endpoint. The mean weight change of subjects in the risperidone treatment group was a 4.8 lb increase.
WO 2008/025781 PCT/EP2007/058958 86 Increases in weight: The percentages of subjects whose weight increased by more than 7% in the bifeprunox treatment groups (2 to 4%) were less than or similar to the percentage observed in the placebo treatment group (5%). In the risperidone treatment group, 13% of subjects increased their weight by 7%. 5 Decreases in weight: The percentage of subjects whose weight decreased by more than 7% was higher in the bifeprunox treatment groups (5 mg, 6%, 10 mg, 7%; 20 mg, 8%) than in the placebo treatment group (3%). No subjects in the risperidone treatment group decreased their weight by 27%. 10 CLINICAL STUDY TWO: Small decreases in mean body weight were observed in the bifeprunox treatment groups and the placebo group at Endpoint, while an increase was noted for the risperidone treatment group (Table below). At Endpoint, the mean weight changes were: -2.2 lbs in 30 mg bifeprunox group; -1.9 lbs in 40 mg bifeprunox group; 0.5 lbs in placebo 15 group; and 3.2 lbs in risperidone group. In the bifeprunox treatment groups, mean changes at Week 6 were higher than those at Endpoint.

At Endpoint, the mean weight changes were: -2.3 lbs in 20 mg bifeprunox group; -1.1 lbs in 30 mg bifeprunox group; -1.3 lbs in 5 placebo group; and 5.2 lbs in olanzapine group. Mean changes at Week 6 were comparable to those at Endpoint ( Table below). The incidence of markedly abnormal ( 7%) decrease in body weight was comparable among bifeprunox treatment and placebo groups (20 mg bifeprunox: 6%; 30 mg bifeprunox: 5%; placebo: 5%) and was lower in the olanzapine treatment group (< 10 1%). The converse was seen in the incidence of markedly abnormal ( 7%) increase in body weight with 19% in the olanzapine treatment group compared to 5% in the 30 mg bifeprunox, 1% in the 20 mg bifeprunox, and 5% in the placebo group who experienced this.

In all groups, the adjusted mean weight and BMI decreased from baseline to Month 6. The adjusted mean weight change from baseline to Month 6 5 (APTS, OC, ANCOVA) was -0.8kg in the PBO group, -0.3kg in the BX20 group, and 0.5kg in the BX30 group. The adjusted mean weight decreases in the BX20 and the BX30 group were not statistically significantly different from that in the PBO group. Weight decreased was reported as a TEAE for patients in all treatment groups (PBO: 5%; BX20: 8%; BX30: 8%) (Panel 45). Weight increased was reported as a 10 TEAE for patients in the PBO group (1.8%) and in the BX30 group (1.2%). The adjusted mean weight change from baseline to Month 6 (APTS, LOCF, ANCOVA) in patients with/without nausea and/or vomiting showed that patients in all groups lost weight irrespective of whether they had nausea and/or vomiting, although those patients who also had nausea and/or vomiting had a greater weight decrease 15 (PBO: -0.6 versus -1.9kg; BX20: -1.0 versus -1.9kg; BX30: -1.1 versus -2.3kg.

The primary efficacy analysis rejected the hypothesis of equal time to 5 deterioration of schizophrenia in the three treatment groups (p = 0.008). The proportion of patients who deteriorated was 59% in the PBO group, 41% in the BX20 group, and 38% in the BX30 group. The Cox proportional hazards model gave an estimated hazard ratio of 0.66 (BX20) and 0.65 (BX30) relative to PBO; that is, the risk of deterioration was approximately 1.5 times higher for patients in the PBO group than for patients in the 10 BX20 or BX30 groups. Subsequent pairwise comparisons of each of the BX groups and the PBO group showed that patients in the BX groups had a statistically significantly longer time to deterioration of schizophrenia than patients in the PBO group (BX20: p = 0.008 and BX30: p = 0.006). The primary efficacy analysis was repeated for the PPS. Since most of 15 the patients in the PPS participated for most of the study, the results were very close to the results of the primary analysis, both for the estimated hazard ratios and the p-values obtained. This illustrates the robustness of the conclusion of the primary efficacy analysis.

The incidence of hyperglycemia and diabetes-related adverse events (such as hyperglycemia, elevated blood glucose, impaired glucose tolerance, diabetes mellitus, inadequately controlled diabetes) in patients treated with bifeprunox was 0.5% (5/1050) and in placebo-treated patients was 0.6% (3/469) in six-week placebo controlled trials. In a 26-week placebo-controlled trial, no patients reported 10 hyperglycemia or diabetes-related adverse events. Assessment of the relationship between atypical antipsychotic use and glucose abnormalities is complicated by the possibility of an increased background risk of diabetes mellitus in patients with schizophrenia and the increasing incidence of diabetes mellitus in the general WO 2008/025781 PCT/EP2007/058958 94 population. Given these confounders, the relationship between atypical antipsychotic use and hyperglycemia-related adverse events is not completely understood. However, epidemiological studies that did not include bifeprunox suggest an increased risk of treatment-emergent hyperglycemia-related adverse events in patients treated with the 5 atypical antipsychotics included in these studies. Because bifeprunox was not marketed at the time these studies were performed, it is not known if bifeprunox is associated with this increased risk. Precise risk estimates for hyperglycemia-related adverse events in patients treated with atypical antipsychotics are not available. 10 PR, QT, QTc, QRS CLINICAL STUDY ONE: Changes in PR, QT, QTc, QRS intervals and heart rate over time were evaluated by assessing changes in mean values between Baseline and Endpoint. There was very little change in mean values for PR, QTc, or QRS intervals between Baseline and Endpoint in any treatment group. Mean changes for these 15 intervals ranged from approximately -2 msec to 4 msec. There were no trends in mean changes by treatment group. Changes in mean heart rate between Baseline and Endpoint ranged from -1.5 bpm to 0.9 bpm. There were no trends in mean changes by treatment group. 20 CLINICAL STUDY TWO: Changes in PR, QT, QTc, QRS intervals and heart rate over time were evaluated by assessing changes in mean values between Baseline and Endpoint. There was very little change in mean values for PR, QTc, or QRS intervals between Baseline and Endpoint in any treatment group. Ranges for the mean changes across the treatment groups were: PR=-2.5 msec to 0.2 msec; QT= -2.8 msec to 7 25 msec, QTc=0.4 msec to 3.9 msec; QRS=-0.4 msec to 1.4 msec. There were no trends in mean changes by treatment group. Changes in mean heart rate between Baseline and Endpoint across the treatment groups ranged approximately from -1.3 bpm to 1.7 bpm. There were no trends in mean changes by treatment group. CLINICAL STUDY THREE: Changes in PR, QT, QTc, QRS intervals and heart rate 30 over time were evaluated by assessing changes in mean values between Baseline and Endpoint. For these summaries, the Bazett corrected QT interval was presented as QTc. There was very little change in mean values for PR, QTc, or QRS intervals between Baseline and Endpoint in any treatment group. Mean changes for these intervals ranged from approximately 3 msec to 4 msec. There were no trends in mean changes by WO 2008/025781 PCT/EP2007/058958 95 treatment group. Changes in mean heart rate between Baseline and Endpoint ranged from -1 bpm to 1 bpm. There were no trends in mean changes by treatment group. 5 EXAMPLE 3a: PHARMACOKINETICS OF BIFEPRUNOX The objective of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) of bifeprunox. The PK of bifeprunox in healthy subjects were investigated based on a pooled analysis of PK parameters from 21 clinical pharmacology studies. The pooled analysis included PK profiles after single and multiple doses to 132 and 399 subjects, respectively, and 10 explored the potential effects of age, gender, body weight, and race. In addition, PK in patients with schizophrenia were investigated using a population PK approach based on samples from 376 patients in phase Il studies and 434 patients in phase Ill studies. Bifeprunox was rapidly absorbed after oral administration (tmax from 1.5 to 2 hours at all dose levels). Bifeprunox multiple-dose PK were dose-proportional in the 20-40 mg/day 15 range. Steady-state mean apparent clearance and apparent volume of distribution were 62.2L/h and 1300L, respectively. Bifeprunox was eliminated with a mean plasma steady-state half-life of 14.4 hours. Administration of a 40 mg dose with a standard high fat meal was associated with a slight delay in tmax (1.5 hours) and a small increase in Cmax (10%) and AUC (29%). Bifeprunox is approximately 99% bound to serum proteins. 20 Bifeprunox is metabolized by CYP2C9, CYP3A4 and to a lesser extent, CYP2D6. Bifeprunox exposure was increased by co-administration with fluconazole (CYP2C9 inhibitor) and to a minor extent ketoconazole (CYP3A4 inhibitor), but not by coadministration with paroxetine (CYP2D6 inhibitor) and famotidine (a H2-antagonist). Bifeprunox exposure was reduced by co-administration of carbamazepine (CYP3A4 25 inducer). Co-administration of the narrow therapeutic index compounds warfarin and lithium (see EXAMPLE 3b) with bifeprunox did not affect the PK of these compounds to any relevant extent. In CYP2C9 slow/intermediate metabolizers, higher plasma levels of bifeprunox were observed than in subjects with normal enzyme activity. After a single oral dose of [14C]-labeled bifeprunox, 13% and 74% of the radioactivity was excreted in 30 the urine and feces, respectively. No clinically significant age-, gender-, body weight- or race-related effects on bifeprunox PK were noted. PK in patients with schizophrenia were similar to that seen in healthy subjects.
WO 2008/025781 PCT/EP2007/058958 96 One conclusion of this study is that bifeprunox is rapidly absorbed after oral administration; the mean elimination half-life is about 14 hours. Multiple-dose PK were dose-proportional in the 20-40 mg range. Bifeprunox has a low interaction potential. 5 EXAMPLE 3b: PHARMACOKINETIC INTERACTION OF LITHIUM AND BIFEPRUNOX IN HEALTHY MALE SUBJECTS PURPOSE: Bifeprunox, a partial agonist for dopamine D2 and 5-HT1A receptors, is being developed for the treatment of schizophrenia. Because bifeprunox may be used in 10 combination with the mood-stabilizing drug lithium for the treatment of patients with psychoses and mood disorders, the effect of multiple doses of bifeprunox on the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of lithium was evaluated. Lithium has a narrow therapeutic index that can complicate therapy, and serum levels greater than 1.5 mmol/L carry a greater risk of lithium toxicity than do lower levels. METHODS: This was a single center, 15 double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-design study in 48 healthy male subjects. All subjects were to receive open-label lithium (450 mg) twice daily on days 1 through 8 and, provided serum levels were stable on days 5 through 7, again on days 9 through 20. Subjects whose serum levels were stable on days 5 through 7 were included in those randomized to receive, in addition to lithium 450 mg twice daily, either placebo 20 or a rising dose of bifeprunox (0.025-40 mg) once daily on days 9 through 17, and placebo or bifeprunox 40 mg on days 18 through 21. Only a single morning dose of lithium 450 mg was administered on day 21. Lithium, steady-state Cmax, AUC over the dosing interval (0-t), and renal clearance (CL-R) values were compared between the bifeprunox and placebo groups using ANCOVA with baseline values of lithium measured 25 on day 8 as covariate. RESULTS: There were small increases in mean Cmax and AUC(0-t) of lithium in the bifeprunox group, but the ratios of the geometric least square means and the 90% confidence intervals (Cl) of the two treatments for AUC, Cmax, and CL-R were within the predefined range of 0.80 to 1.25. The treatment ratios and 90% Cl for Cmax, AUC(0-t), and CL-R were 1.11 (90% Cl: 1.01-1.20), 1.13 (90% Cl: 1.06-1.21), 30 and 0.94 (90% Cl: 0.87-1.02) respectively. Combined administration of bifeprunox up to 40 mg per day and lithium 450 mg twice daily was well tolerated. CONCLUSION: There was no clinically relevant effect of co-administration of multiple doses of bifeprunox on lithium steady-state pharmacokinetics. Results suggest that no dosage adjustment of lithium would be required during concomitant administration with bifeprunox.
WO 2008/025781 PCT/EP2007/058958 97 EXAMPLE 4: Efficacy and Safety of Bifeprunox in Treatment of Patients with Acutely Exacerbated Schizophrenia Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of bifeprunox in the treatment of acutely 5 ill patients with schizophrenia. Method: A 6-Week randomized, placebo-controlled, risperidone-referenced dose-finding study included 589 randomized patients with an acute exacerbation of schizophrenia (DSM-IV-TR). Patients were randomly assigned to bifeprunox 5 mg (n= 115), bifeprunox 10 mg (n=120), bifeprunox 20 mg (n=1 15), placebo (n=1 19) or risperidone 6 mg 10 (n=120). Treatment with all bifeprunox doses were titrated up to target dose, beginning with a dose of 0.125 mg on day 1, 0.25 mg on day 2, 0.5 mg on day 3, 1 mg on day 4, 2 mg on day 5, and 5 mg on day 6, 10 mg on day 7 or 20 mg on day 8, while treatment with risperidone was titrated over 3 days. The change in the Positive and Negative Symptom Scale (PANSS) total score, from baseline to endpoint, was the primary 15 outcome measure. Secondary efficacy measures included: PANSS positive, PANSS negative, PANSS general psychopathology (GPP) score, PANSS-derived Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) score, Clinical Global Impressions-Severity of Illness (CGI-S), CGI-Improvement (CGI-1) scores, and responder rates. Safety and tolerability evaluations included extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS), weight gain, lipid profile, and 20 serum prolactin. Risperidone was included for assay sensitivity. Results: Reduction in the PANSS total score for bifeprunox was statistically significant (P < 0.05) compared to placebo at Week 3 and Week 6/endpoint for the 20 mg dose. The positive effect of bifeprunox 20 mg was also observed on the secondary efficacy measures PANSS positive, negative, GPP subscales, BPRS, and responder rates. 25 Risperidone 6 mg was statistically significant at endpoint compared to placebo for all efficacy measures. The most common adverse events (incidence >5% and twice for placebo) included: dyspepsia, nausea, vomiting, and constipation. A dose relationship was not evident for any of the most frequent adverse events. Bifeprunox was associated with decreased prolactin levels, and rates of EPS that were comparable 30 to placebo. In addition, patients receiving bifeprunox experienced statistically significant (P < 0.05) weight decrease, and demonstrated statistically significant improvements in non-fasting triglycerides (P < 0.005) and total cholesterol (P < 0.005) compared to placebo.
WO 2008/025781 PCT/EP2007/058958 98 Conclusion: In this study, bifeprunox 20 mg was shown to be effective in the treatment of acute schizophrenia. Bifeprunox may have safety advantages, stemming from a decrease in weight, and improvement in the lipid profile. 5
