Trial summary

The purpose of this research is to study the pharmacokinetics of risperidone in a group of pediatric patients with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). The study will determine how much risperidone and its breakdown product, 9-hydroxy-risperidone, is in the blood following the patient's usual daily dose. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Risperidone Pharmacokinetics in Children With Pervasive Developmental Disorder

The purpose of this research is to study the pharmacokinetics of risperidone in a group of pediatric patients with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). The study will determine how much risperidone and its breakdown product, 9-hydroxy-risperidone, is in the blood following the patient's usual daily dose. The study is designed to look at how fast children absorb, breakdown, and eliminate risperidone.

Read the detailed description

Pervasive Developmental Disorders is a category of disorders that includes autism and related conditions. While these disorders are rare, they represent a significant public health problem because they are extremely debilitating and lack efficacious therapies. Neuroleptic use in PDD is high and the population appears to be at increased risk of serious sequelae including tardive dyskinesia. Newer atypical neuroleptics including risperidone are now used in 87% of cases but dosing, safety and efficacy is undetermined in the vulnerable population.

This study consists of a total of 3 visits, the initial screening visit where consent, medical history, demographics and vitals will be recorded. Two additional visits with blood sampling will occur. The second visit will be no greater than 30 days from the screening visit and the 3rd visit will be one month from Visit 2.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

What is being measured

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

  1. Quantify the variability of clearance and volume of distribution among AE rating, weight gain and ABC responder status.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Exploratory analysis will be performed to examine the relationship of other factors to risperidone and metabolite concentrations for PK/PD assessment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Risperidone in people with Child Development Disorders, Pervasive, run by Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati at 5 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 3 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 29 Oct 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 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. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Quantify the variability of clearance and volume of distribution among AE rating, weight gain and ABC responder status.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 29 Oct 2012; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 3 Nov 2026.
