摘要
Evaluate the long-term improvement and safety of aripiprazole in treating irritability in Asian children and adolescents (6-17 years) with autistic disorder. A 52-week, open-label, flexibly dosed (2-15 mg/day) study on the improvement and safety of aripiprazole in patients with autistic disorder who had completed an antecedent 12-week open-label study. The evaluation of efficacy was conducted using the Aberrant Behavior Checklist (ABC), Clinical Global Impression (CGI) scale, Child Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (CY-BOCS), Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale (VABS), and the Parenting Stress Index-Short Form (PSI-SF). Safety and tolerability measurements included adverse events, vital signs, electrocardiography, laboratory tests, body weight, and extrapyramidal symptoms (EPSs). During the 52-week treatment, all effectiveness variables, including ABC, CGI, CY-BOCS, VABS, and PSI-SF scores, showed improvement. Regarding safety, the proportion of patients who experienced any treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) was 58.62% (34/58 subjects, 75 cases). The most common TEAE was nasopharyngitis reported in 20.69% (15/58 subjects, 15 cases) and the other TEAE with an incidence of ≥10% was weight increases in 18.97% (11/58 subjects, 11 cases). Of them, 27.59% (16/58 subjects, 28 cases) experienced adverse drug reactions (ADRs). The most common ADR was weight increase reported in 15.52% (9/58 subjects, nine cases). The incidence of serious adverse events (SAEs) was 5.17% (3/58 subjects, three cases), which were epiphysiolysis, seizure, and a suicide attempt, but these were not ADRs. There were no clinically significant changes found in the evaluation of EPSs. Aripiprazole showed improvement for behavioral problems and adaptive functioning and was well tolerated in patients with autistic disorder until nearly a year after drug use. The Clinical Trial Registration number: NCT02069977.
