A Study of Long-acting Injectable Risperidone in the Treatment of Patients

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to document the long-term safety and tolerability of risperidone, formulated as a long-acting injectable, in the treatment of patients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder; in addition, to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of long-acting risperidone and its effect on quality of life

Clinical Trial Description

Although many schizophrenia patients currently take oral antipsychotic medications, it is estimated that up to 75% of them have difficulty adhering to the daily oral regimen. Long-acting injectable formulations may eliminate the need for daily medication and enhance patient compliance with the treatment regimen. This safety study is an extension of a randomized, double-blind, multicenter, parallel group study that investigates effectiveness and safety of risperidone injected intramuscularly in patients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. The present open-label study evaluates 3 different doses of a formulation of risperidone injected into the muscle at 2 week intervals for at least 1 year in patients with these conditions. Assessments of effectiveness include the Clinical Global Impression (CGI) overall severity of illness scale. Quality of life will be assessed by the SF-36 Health Survey. Safety evaluations include incidence of adverse events, physical examinations, and evaluations of the injection site, clinical laboratory tests, electrocardiograms (ECGs), and Extrapyramidal Symptom Rating Scale (ESRS), a scale assessing muscle tone, gain, and abnormal movements. Injections every 2 weeks for at least 1 year, beginning at 25milligrams[mg] and increasing to 50mg or 75mg (maximum dose). Dosages may be increased or decreased at investigator's discretion. During the first 3 weeks, risperidone tablets (2mg) once daily to supplement injectable risperidone. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
