A single-dose, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of sublingual asenapine for acute agitation.
Summary
Our proposal is to administer asenapine to patients who are clinically agitated and in need of immediate intervention. At present there are no controlled studies that we know of that explores the use of asenapine for this purpose. Establishing the utility of asenapine for this common clinical problem will support its use as an additional treatment option in acutely agitated patients.
