About this study

Official title: Differences in Cognitive Function Due to Acute Sedative Effects of Risperidone and Quetiapine in Stable Bipolar I Out-Patients.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the sedating (causing sleepiness) effects of risperidone or quetiapine alter cognitive (person's ability to think, perceive, recognize, remember, judge, and reason) functioning in subjects with stable Bipolar I Disorder.

Read the detailed description

To compare the treatment effects of risperidone and quetiapine on cognitive function, using measures commonly believed to be affected by sedation and at doses typically used in clinical settings in stable bipolar I outpatients.One-half of patients are randomized to treatment sequence risperidone-quetiapine (R-Q), and the other one-half to quetiapine-risperidone (Q-R). Patients randomized to R-Q receive 2 mg of risperidone with dinner the night before testing and placebo with breakfast on the day of testing. After a 6 - 14 day washout period they receive 100 mg quetiapine with dinner the night before their second day of testing and 100 mg with breakfast the day of testing.

Those randomized to Q-R receive the same treatments, but in reverse order. Patients randomized to R-Q receive 2 mg of risperidone with dinner the night before testing and placebo with breakfast on the day of testing. After a 6-14 day washout period they receive 100 mg quetiapine with dinner the night before their second day of testing and 100 mg with breakfast the day of testing. Those randomized to Q-R receive the same treatments, but in reverse order.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing risperidone; quetiapine in people with Bipolar Disorder, run by Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development, L.L.C..

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 1 inclusion and 6 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 24 May 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

To compare the treatment effects of risperidone and quetiapine on cognitive function due to sedation. 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 NCT00097032, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 24 May 2011.
