26-Week Open-Label Extension Study Evaluating the Safety and Tolerability of Flexible Doses of Oral Ziprasidone in Children and Adolescents with Bipolar I Disorder (Most Recent Episode Manic).

To describe the longer-term effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of open-label ziprasidone in children and adolescents with bipolar I disorder (BD-I). A subset of 23 participants aged 10-17 years, who were previously treated in a multi-site, 4-week randomized controlled trial received open-label ziprasidone (20-80 mg twice a day) for up to 26 weeks. The most common adverse events (AEs) were fatigue (30%), somnolence (17%), and nausea (13%).

Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of Flexibly Dosed Ziprasidone in Children and Adolescents with Mania in Bipolar I Disorder: A Randomized Placebo-Controlled Replication Study.

To evaluate the acute efficacy, safety, and tolerability of flexibly dosed ziprasidone in children and adolescents with Bipolar I Disorder (BD-I). Participants, 10-17 years of age, meeting The criteria, were randomized 1:1 in a 4-week double-blind (DB) study, to receive ziprasidone (20-80 mg/twice a day) or placebo. Some were then enrolled in a 26-week open-label extension (OLE) study.

Lack of an Effect of Supratherapeutic Dose of Venlafaxine on Cardiac Repolarization in Healthy Subjects.

This single-center, randomized, 3-way crossover thorough QT study evaluated the effect of steady-state supratherapeutic venlafaxine (Effexor) on cardiac repolarization. Fifty-four healthy adults received double-blinded extended-release venlafaxine 450 mg/d and placebo and open-label positive-control moxifloxacin 400 mg. The postdose QT intervals corrected for heart rate using the Fridericia formula (QTcF) were assessed on day 14 with an analysis of covariance using a mixed-effects model.

A Thorough QT Study to Evaluate the Effects of a Supratherapeutic Dose of Sertraline on Cardiac Repolarization in Healthy Subjects.

The effect of steady-state supratherapeutic sertraline (Zoloft) on QT interval was assessed in a single-center, randomized, 3-way crossover, double-blind, placebo- and moxifloxacin-controlled thorough QT study. Healthy adults received sertraline 400 mg/day, moxifloxacin 400 mg, and placebo, with a washout period (≥14 days) between treatments. A 12-lead electrocardiogram was recorded in triplicate before dosing and at selected time points up to 72 hours after dosing.

Effect of tofacitinib withdrawal and re-treatment on patient-reported outcomes: results from a Phase 3 study in patients with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis.

Background: Tofacitinib is an oral Janus kinase inhibitor being investigated for psoriasis. A Phase 3 withdrawal/re-treatment study (NCT01186744; OPT Retreatment) showed tofacitinib re-treatment was effective in patients with chronic plaque psoriasis.

Objectives: To describe the effects of tofacitinib withdrawal/re-treatment on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and disease symptoms measured by patient-reported outcomes (PROs).
