EU PAS Register NumberEUPAS21056
Official titleExtrapyramidal symptoms in patients treated with Abilify Maintena®: Cohort study with a 2-year follow-up using European automated healthcare databases
Study title acronym
Study typeObservational study
Brief description of the studyThis post-authorisation safety study (PASS) will be conducted using longitudinal automatic healthcare databases. It uses a non-comparative historical cohort design to further assess the risk of EPS-related events linked to the use of Abilify Maintena®, in routine clinical practice.
All new users of Abilify Maintena® (incident users) between country-specific market entry date and the end of the inclusion period will be included in the analysis. The first observed prescription of Abilify Maintena® for a patient after market entry is called the index prescription, and the index date relates to the date of this index prescription.
The crude incidence of EPS-related events and incidence per patient-month will be estimated, using the number of exposed patients with at least one EPS-related event (during treatment exposure period). In addition, an analysis on time to EPS onset will be performed using Kaplan-Meier estimator of survival function and Cox proportional hazards regression model. In addition, a Cox proportional hazards regression model will be performed to measure the effect of known risk factors described in Section 9.3.3 Other Variables on the occurrence of EPS-related event in this population.

What is the design of the study?
Cohort study
14. Follow-up of patients
Will patients be followed up?Yes
Please describe duration of follow up
For each patient, the date of the first observed prescription of Abilify Maintena after market entry is called the index date. Exposure starts at the index date and all patients are followed-up for up to 2 years. Follow-up stops either at end of treatment, or after 2 years of Abilify Maintena treatment, or at date of death, or at date of transferred out of the database, whichever comes first.
15. Data analysis plan
Please provide a brief summary of the analysis method
In this non-comparative study, only descriptive statistics will be used. Summary statistics (mean, standard deviation, median, inter-quartile range, minimum and maximum values) will be presented for continuous variables. Counts and percentages will be presented for categorical and binary variables. In addition, an analysis on time to EPS onset will be performed using Kaplan-Meier estimator of survival function and Cox proportional hazards regression models.
