Filter by:This is a randomized, single-dose, open-label, parallel-group study. Patients will undergo the screening evaluations to determine eligibility within 28 days prior to study drug administration. Approximately 80 eligible patients will be randomized in a 1:1:1:1 ratio to 1 of 4 treatment groups.
This is a randomized, multiple-dose, open-label, parallel-group study. Subjects will undergo screening evaluations to determine eligibility within 28 days prior to study drug administration. Approximately 280 eligible subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio into 1 of 2 treatment groups. Subjects will be admitted to the clinical facilities the day before dosing (Day 0), and will be randomized and receive the first dosing on Day 1. Subjects will stay at site till Day 2 after PK collection. All subjects will return to the clinical sites at designated study days for dosing, PK sample collections and assigned clinical activities. All subjects randomized to LY03010 treatment group will receive the first dose of 351 mg LY03010 by IM injection on Day 1 in the deltoid muscle, followed by five (5) monthly dosing of 156 mg LY03010 in the gluteal muscle with the last dose on Day 141. All subjects randomized to SUSTENNA treatment group will receive the first dose of 234 mg SUSTENNA by IM injection on Day 1 in the deltoid muscle, and a second IM dose of 156 mg SUSTENNA on Day 8 in the deltoid muscle, followed by five (5) monthly IM dosing of 156 mg of SUSTENNA in the gluteal muscle with the last dose on Day 148. End of Study (EOS) visit for LY03010 treatment group will be on Day 169, 28 days after last dosing day; End of Study for SUSTENNA treatment group will be on Day 176, 28 days after last dosing. At EOS visit, subjects will complete the study after a series of assigned clinical assessments. A 30-day follow up call will be conducted by the clinical research staff to ensure participant's well-being.
Fute (Flupentixol) combined with MARTAs (Multiple-Acting Receptor Targeted Antipsychotics) drugs has its clinical efficacy toward positive symptoms and might reduce the metabolic syndrome-related factors in patients. This study is the first clinical trial to explore the treatment of patients with flupentixol combined with MARTAs. However, due to research limitations, the number of patients who participated in the clinical trial is small, and it depends on subsequent larger-scale clinical trials for more in-depth verification.
Purpose: Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a involuntary movement disorder that can occur following long term treatment with antipsychotic medications and for which few treatment options exist. This study will test the efficacy of pyridoxine (also known as vitamin B6) for TD. This will be an 8 week double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial measuring the effect of pyridoxine 400 mg/day on the severity of involuntary muscle movements in people who meet Schooler-Kane criteria for TD. Participants: Approximately 50 subjects will be recruited from the UNC Schizophrenia Treatment and Evaluation Program (STEP) and other local psychiatric clinics. Procedures (methods): Symptoms of TD will be assessed using the Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS). Pharmacological Intervention: All participants who meet entry criteria will be randomized to one of two treatment groups: pyridoxine or placebo.
Insulin is a hormone produced by the body to regulate blood sugar. Insulin resistance is a state when the body is not using insulin correctly, and more insulin is needed to maintain normal blood sugar. Insulin resistance is common in bipolar patients and even more common in bipolar patients treated with antipsychotics. Insulin resistance from antipsychotics can lead to type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease and is known to lead to worse psychiatric outcomes (less mood stability) and lower life expectancies in bipolar disorder. Abnormal regulation of the folate cycle is known to play a role in antipsychotic-induced insulin resistance and the main endpoint to the folate cycle is the production of methyl donors for DNA methylation. DNA methylation is critical as it regulates how genes are expressed. Thus, changes in DNA methylation may play a role in the disease process of antipsychotic-induced insulin resistance. The purpose of this study is to examine the differences in the DNA methylation of candidate tissues known to have a role in the development of insulin resistance. The three groups of bipolar patients to be studied are 1) antipsychotic treated patients with impaired glucose tolerance, 2) antipsychotic treated patients with normal glucose tolerance and 3) lithium treated patients with normal glucose tolerance. Group 1 will be compared to groups 2 and 3 in order to assess how DNA methylation in the skeletal muscle and fat tissue changes due to medication effects (group 2 vs. 3) and medication side effects (group 1 vs. 2). Secondary analyses include the analysis of how fats are processed in skeletal muscle and fat tissue in relation to antipsychotic-induced insulin resistance and the correlation of DNA methylation across different tissues. The investigators hypothesize that antipsychotic-induced insulin resistance is to due changes in the way DNA is expressed (through epigenetic changes) which causes further changes in the way fats are processed in the body eventually leading to insulin resistance. This work is based on preliminary findings however further work is needed to identify the true mechanisms behind antipsychotic-induced insulin resistance and in particular, the main tissue in which this mechanism occurs.
This study is a non-interventional web based registry designed to assess demographic, treatment and outcomes data in patients receiving treatment with long-acting injectable risperidone. One year retrospective data and 2 year prospective data will be collected.
