Registered outcomes3

Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

List	Outcome	Time frame	Description
Primary	Change From the End of Period A (Week 1) to Week 10 in the Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory (CMAI) Composite Score	Week 1 to Week 10	The CMAI is used to assess the frequency of manifestations of agitated behaviors in elderly persons. It consists of 29 agitated behaviors that are further categorized into distinct agitation syndromes, also known as CMAI factors of agitation. These distinct agitation syndromes include aggressive behavior, physically nonaggressive behavior, and verbally agitated behavior. Each of the 29 items is rated on a 7-point scale of frequency (1 = never, 2 = less than once a week but still occurring, 3 = once or twice a week, 4 = several times a week, 5 = once or twice a day, 6 = several times a day, 7 = several times an hour). The ratings are based on the 2 weeks preceding assessment of the CMAI. Higher scores indicate higher frequency of agitated behaviours while lower scores indicate lower frequency of agitated behaviours.
Primary	Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAE) and Serious TEAE	From randomization (Week 2) up to 30 days after last dose of study drug (Up to Week 16)	An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence or unintended change (eg, physical, psychological, or behavioral), including inter-current illness, that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the study treatment. A serious adverse event (SAE) is any AE occurring at any dose that results in death, life-threatening experience, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization or congenital anomaly/birth defect. TEAEs are all AEs (including serious and non-serious) which started after start of double-blind study drug treatment; or if the event was continuous from baseline and was worsening, serious, study drug related, or resulted in death, discontinuation, interruption or reduction of study therapy.
Secondary	Change From the End of Period A (Week 1) to Week 10 in the Clinical Global Impression of Severity of Illness (CGIS) Score, as Related to Agitation	Week 1 to Week 10	The CGIS is an observer-rated scale that measures illness severity. The CGIS-Agitation is a 7-point (1-7) scale (1 = normal, not at all ill; 7 = among the most extremely ill patients) and assesses severity of agitation in this study. Higher scores indicate severe agitation while the lower scores indicate little or no agitation.

PRIMARY	Change From the End of Period A (Week 1) to Week 10 in the Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory (CMAI) Composite Score	Week 1 to Week 10	Due to discontinuation of development of the AVP-786 compound, no data was collected and analyzed as planned for this pre-specified primary efficacy outcome measure as noted in the SAP. Only safety data was collected and analyzed.
PRIMARY	Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAE) and Serious TEAE	From randomization (Week 2) up to 30 days after last dose of study drug (Up to Week 16)	Safety population included of all participants who were randomized in the double-blind period B of this study, and took at least one dose of double-blind, randomized study medication. As pre-specified in the Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP), safety data was planned to be collected only for the participants who were randomized in the double-blind period B of this study.
