Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of pimavanserin compared to placebo in preventing relapse of psychotic symptoms in subjects with dementia-related psychosis who responded to 12 weeks of open label pimavanserin treatment.

Primary Outcome

The time from randomization to relapse in the DB period was compared between treatment groups using a Cox regression model. The treatment effect was measured by the hazard ratio (HR). Relapse was defined as (1) ≥30% increase in SAPS-H+D total score from DB baseline (BL) and CGI-I score ≥6 relative to DB BL, (2) treatment with antipsychotic for dementia-related delusions/hallucinations, (3) treatment/study discontinuation due to lack of efficacy, and/or (4) hospitalization for worsening dementia
