Brief Summary:

This is a master protocol for 3 independent, seamlessly enrolling, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group studies in patients with ADP

  • Substudy 1 (Phase 2) will evaluate efficacy and dose response of ACP-204 30 and 60 mg vs placebo. This substudy will be initiated first.
  • Substudies 2A and 2B (both: Phase 3) will be confirmatory studies of either both doses (ACP-204 30 and 60 mg, respectively) or a single dose from Part 1 vs placebo. Substudies 2A and 2B will be performed independently of each other and will commence after enrollment of Part 1.

All 3 substudies will be analyzed independently of each other.

Each substudy individually will consist of a screening period (up to 42 days); a double-blind treatment period (6 weeks); a safety follow-up period (30 days) for patients not rolling over into an open-label extension study; and vital status follow-up (for patients who terminated their substudy early).

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: ACP-204 30 mg
Administration once daily at approximately the same time of day, with or without food

ACP-204 is a potent and selective antagonist/inverse agonist of 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) receptor subtype 2A.

Experimental: ACP-204 60 mg
Administration once daily at approximately the same time of day, with or without food
Drug: ACP-204
ACP-204 is a potent and selective antagonist/inverse agonist of 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) receptor subtype 2A.

Placebo Comparator: Placebo
Administration once daily at approximately the same time of day, with or without food

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Scale for the Assessment of Positive Symptoms-Hallucinations and Delusions subscales (SAPS-H+D) total score change from baseline (Substudies 1, 2A, 2B) [ Time Frame: From baseline to Week 6 ]
    The SAPS-H+D subscales are a measure of two psychotic symptoms: hallucinations and delusions. The SAPS-H+D total score is the sum of the scores of the Hallucinations and Delusions subscales. The hallucinations domain score (SAPS-H) is the sum of the 7 hallucinations item scores, and the delusions domain core (SAPS-D) is the sum of the 13 delusions item scores.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Clinical Global Impression-Improvement in the ADP context (CGI-I-ADP) score [ Time Frame: Week 6 ]
    The CGI-I scale is a clinician-rated, 7-point scale used to rate the improvement in symptoms at the time of assessment, relative to the symptoms at Baseline. The CGI-I-ADP scale is the CGI-I scale applied in the ADP context, in which hallucinations and delusions are the symptoms of interest.
