OBJECTIVE: To evaluate aripiprazole once-monthly (AOM ), a long-acting injectable suspension of aripiprazole , as acute treatment in patients with schizophrenia (DSM-IV-TR ). METHOD: Adults experiencing an acute psychotic episode were randomized to 12 weeks of double-blind treatment with AOM 400 mg or placebo (October 2012-August 2013). The primary efficacy outcome was change from baseline to endpoint (week 10) in Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score . The key secondary efficacy outcome was change from baseline in Clinical Global Impressions-Severity of Illness scale (CGI-S) score . Secondary efficacy outcomes included change from baseline in PANSS positive and negative subscale and Personal and Social Performance Scale (PSP) scores . The study took place from October 2012 through August 2013. RESULTS: Patients (N = 340; 79% male, 66% black ) were randomized to AOM (n = 168) or placebo (n = 172). Least squares (LS) mean change from baseline to endpoint (week 10) favored AOM versus placebo in PANSS total (treatment difference, -15.1 [95% CI, -19.4 to -10.8]; P < .0001) and CGI-S (treatment difference, -0.8 [95% CI, -1.1 to -0.6]; P < .0001) scores, as it did at all other timepoints through 12 weeks (all P ≤ .0005). LS mean change from baseline in PANSS positive and negative subscale and PSP scores favored AOM versus placebo (P < .0001). Common (> 10%) treatment-emergent adverse events (AOM vs. placebo ) were increased weight (16.8% vs 7.0%), headache (14.4% vs. 16.3%), and akathisia (11.4% vs 3.5%). CONCLUSIONS: Symptoms and functioning improved with AOM 400 mg versus placebo in patients with acute schizophrenia , with acceptable safety and tolerability . These data suggest that AOM 400 mg is a viable treatment option for patients experiencing an acute schizophrenia episode .
