A Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo Controlled, Single Ascending Dose Study With Lurasidone Injectable Suspension to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics in Subjects With Schizophrenia
A study to determine the maximum tolerated dose of an investigational drug in subjects with
schizophrenia
schizophrenia
This is a single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, inpatient, single
ascending dose (SAD) study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and PK of
lurasidone injectable suspension in subjects with schizophrenia. This study will determine
the minimum intolerable dose (MID), the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of lurasidone injectable
suspension, and characterize the PK profiles of lurasidone and its metabolites in serum
(ID-14283, ID-14326, ID-11614, ID-20219, and ID-20220) and urine (ID-14283, ID-14326, and
ID-11614) in this subject population. The potential effects of gender on the PK of lurasidone
injectable suspension and its metabolites will also be evaluated when applicable.

Inclusion Criteria:
- 1. Subject has capacity; is willing and able to provide written consent for use and
disclosure of protected health information per requirements of 45CFR164.508 (Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act; HIPAA) prior to initiating any study
procedure after being informed of the nature of the study, in the opinion of the study
staff and PI.
2. Subject is male or female 18 to 65 years of age, inclusive. 3. Subject has a
diagnosis of schizophrenia as per DSM-IV-TR criteria, which in the opinion of the
Investigator has been clinically stable for the past 6 months.
4. Subject has a Body Mass Index (BMI) greater than or equal to 19.5 and less than or
equal to 38 kg/m2.
5. Subject does not have clinically relevant abnormal laboratory values per
Investigator discretion.
6. Subject does not have clinically relevant findings from vital signs measurements
per Investigator discretion.
7. Female subject is eligible to enter and participate in the study if she is of:
a. Non-childbearing potential (ie, physiologically incapable of becoming pregnant,
including any female who is pre-menarchal or post-menopausal);
- Postmenopausal females defined as being amenorrheic for greater than 2 years (or
confirmed by FSH level) with an appropriate clinical profile.
- Women who have not been confirmed as postmenopausal should be advised to use
contraception as outlined below.
- Women who have had a hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy or bilateral salpingectomy
(as determined by subject's medical history).
b. Child-bearing potential (all females ≤ 65 years of age), has a negative pregnancy
test at screening and agrees to satisfy one of the following requirements:
- Complete abstinence from intercourse (as part of an abstinent lifestyle) a minimum of
2 months prior to administration of the first dose of study drug, throughout the
Treatment Period, and for a minimum of 3 months after completion or premature
discontinuation from the study drug; or,
- Established use of highly effective methods of contraception from 1 month prior to
administration of the first dose of study drug, during the Treatment Period, and 60
days after completion or premature discontinuation from the study drug.
- Because of the unacceptable failure rate of barrier (chemical and/or physical)
methods, the barrier method of contraception must only be used in combination
with a highly effective method. Post-coital methods of contraception are not
permitted.
8. Male subjects with partners of child bearing potential must be practicing
abstinence, part of an abstinent life style or using protocol-specified methods
of birth control throughout the study and for 30 days after completion or
premature discontinuation from the study drug.
9. Subject is able and willing to remain off of prior antipsychotic medication
until the protocol-specified restabilization period.
10. Subject has a stable living arrangement for at least 3 months prior to Day
-12 and agrees to return to a similar living arrangement after discharge. Such
subjects remain eligible to participate in this protocol with approval from the
PI. Chronically homeless subjects should not be enrolled. The Medical Monitor
should be consulted for individual cases as
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Subject had an acute exacerbation of psychiatric symptoms requiring change in
antipsychotic medication (with reference to drug or dose) within 3 months (90 days)
before screening.
2. Subject has known or suspected carcinoma.
3. Subject has known presence or history of renal or hepatic insufficiency.
4. Subject has significant disease(s) or clinically significant finding(s) on physical
examination determined by the Investigator to pose a health concern to the subject
while on study.
5. Subject has a history or presence of clinically significant abnormal ECG (based on ECG
central overread report) that may jeopardize the subject's safety to participate in
this study, or a screening 12-lead ECG demonstrating any one of the following: heart
rate (HR) > 100 bpm, QRS > 120 msec, QTcF > 450 msec, or PR > 220 msec.
