a1 mg once a day REXULTI dosage is not a recommended dosage for the treatment of agitation associated with dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease.
bDizziness and vertigo are grouped to dizziness.
cSedation and somnolence are grouped to somnolence in the Prescribing Information.
dInitial insomnia and insomnia are grouped to insomnia.

Most common ARs in ≥4% of patients and at least twice the rate of placebo: nasopharyngitis and dizziness.

Study Details2

This extension trial studied REXULTI 2 or

3 mg/day in a Phase III, 12-week, multicenter, non-pivotal, single-arm trial2

  • Patients previously randomized to REXULTI continued their previous dose2
  • ​Patients previously randomized to placebo were initiated on REXULTI2
  • ​Dosing was concealed to maintain blinding of the placebo-controlled trial; dose adjustments were permitted2

Study Limitations2,3

  • The extension study did not include a control group and was a nonrandomized, single-group assignment2
  • Sample size was not based on statistical power considerations2
  • The trial population was derived from eligible patients who rolled over from Study 72,3

Extension Study

An exploratory analysis examined the change from Week 12 to Week 24 in CMAI total score

Mean (SD) CMAI total score continued to improve in the extension trial, from 59.4 (17.7) points at Week 12 to 50.9 (15.0) points at Week 24, a mean (SD) change of -9.1 (13.5) points. Mean (SD) improvement from Week 12 to Week 24 was greater in the prior placebo subgroup (from 63.0 [18.1] to 51.6 [14.4], a change of -12.5 [14.6] points) than in the prior brexpiprazole subgroup (from 57.3 [17.2] to 50.4 [15.4], a change of -7.1 [12.3] points). By Week 24, mean CMAI total scores were similar in both subgroups.2
