About this study

Official title: A Double-blind Fixed-dose Study of Lurasidone (SM-13496) and Placebo in the Treatment of Schizophrenia

A 6-week in-patient and out-patient study to test the effectiveness and safety of a new medication in the treatment of schizophrenia

Read the detailed description

Study will evaluate the efficacy of a new compound versus placebo in the treatment of patients with schizophrenia (diagnosed by DSM-IV criteria) as measured by reductions from baseline on the total score of the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) as extracted from the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change From Baseline to the End of the Double-blind Treatment in the BPRS (Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale) Total Score

    The BPRS consists of 18 ordered categorical items (from "not present" to "extremely severe," on a 1- to 7-point scale), each developed to assess patient symptomatology in a relatively discrete symptom area. The BPRS will be extracted from the PANSS by adding the scores of the 18 items (P2 to P7, N1, N2, and G1 to G10) of the PANSS and will not be assessed separately.

    Measured: Baseline and 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change From Baseline to the End of the Double-blind Treatment in the PANSS (Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale) Scores

    The PANSS is a 30-item scale that evaluates positive, negative, and other symptoms in patients with schizophrenia. Each item is rated on a 7-point scale that ranges from 1 (absent) to 7 (extreme). Scores range from 30-210 with higher scores representing a worsening of schizophrenia.

    Measured: Baseline and 6 weeks

  2. Change From Baseline to the End of the Double-blind Treatment in the CGI-S (Clinical Global Impression of Severity) Scores

    The CGI Severity (CGI-S) assesses the severity of illness of the patient relative to the particular population on a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (normal, not at all ill) to 7 (among the most extremely ill patients).

    Measured: Baseline and 6 weeks

  3. Change From Baseline to the End of the Double-blind Treatment in the MADRS (Montgomery Asberg-Depression Scale) Scores

    The MADRS is a 10-item rating scale that assesses apparent and reported sadness, lassitude, pessimism, inner tension, suicidality, reduced sleep or appetite, difficulty in concentration, and lack of interest. Each item is scored on a 7-point scale with a score of 0 reflecting no symptoms and a score of 6 reflecting symptoms of maximum severity.

    Measured: Baseline and 6 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Lurasidone in people with Schizophrenia, run by Sumitomo Pharma America, Inc. at 22 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Apr 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 22 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Mar 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change From Baseline to the End of the Double-blind Treatment in the BPRS (Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale) Total Score (time frame: Baseline and 6 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00088634, which also lists 4 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Apr 2016.
