Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if the known differences in genes influence drug metabolizing enzymes and receptors that are involved in risperidone drug action. The study will determine if differences in these genes will change the concentration of risperidone in the blood over time in children in relation… Read more about this study

About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine if the known differences in genes influence drug metabolizing enzymes and receptors that are involved in risperidone drug action. The study will determine if differences in these genes will change the concentration of risperidone in the blood over time in children in relation to side effects and clinical response to risperidone.

Read the detailed description

To the knowledge of the investigators there are no studies documenting the pharmacokinetics and pharmacogenetics of risperidone in children with PDD. Currently the PPRU network is conducting a PK study whose aim is to establish a new enantio-selective micro-assay methodology and to generate preliminary population PK data of risperidone and its metabolites in PDD. This study focuses on pharmacogenetic evaluation of PDD patients having little or no effect, those that are unusually sensitive and those experiencing drug toxicity/adverse events at standard risperidone dosages.

In this study two 5 ml blood samples will be drawn at a regulary scheduled PK visit. Alternatively pooled waste blood samples or a buccal swab can be obtained.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Risperidone in people with Child Development Disorders, Pervasive, run by Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati at 4 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 28 Jan 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 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 combined 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.

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?

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.

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 28 Jan 2014.
