APPRAISE Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: AL-LAI: Long-Acting Injectable AntipsychoticExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Patients successfully completing the Stabilization period will be randomized to one of the two medications groups: For patients assigned to the AL-LAI (aripiprazole lauroxil- long-acting injections), initiation of AL-LAI will begin with a one-day initiation regimen (using AL-NCD IM (aripiprazole lauroxil NanoCrystal Dispersion)). Subsequent dosing of AL-LAI will be flexible based on clinician judgment. Treatment with AL-LAI can be initiated at a dose of 441mg or 661mg (administered monthly), 882mg (administered monthly or every 6 weeks), or 1064mg (administered every 2 months). Note: These dosages are not assigned levels of the intervention and dosage levels may be changed at any time throughout the 12-month intervention based on clinical need and clinician judgement. Starting dosages do not indicate separate treatment conditions.
Group II: ARI-ORAL: Aripiprazole Oral AntipsychoticActive Control1 Intervention
Patients successfully completing the Stabilization period will be randomized to one of the two medications groups: Patients assigned to the oral medication condition will continue with ARI-ORAL. ARI-ORAL dosage will be flexible and dosage will be at the discretion of the treating psychiatrist. Patients discontinuing ARI-ORAL study drug after Randomization to oral antipsychotic medication, can remain in active treatment and follow-up within the study, and may be prescribed any of a number of first-line oral antipsychotics.
