About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Open-Label Study to Evaluate Symptomatic Remission in Schizophrenia With Long Acting Risperidone Microspheres (Risperdal Consta)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate symptomatic remission rate in patients with schizophrenia using long acting risperidone microspheres

Read the detailed description

Although most of Korean schizophrenic patients currently take oral antipsychotic medications, it is estimated that up to 75% of them have difficulty adhering to daily oral regimen. Long-acting injectable formulation may eliminate this need for daily medication. This is a prospective, open-label, multicenter study to determine the long-term efficacy, especially symptomatic remission rate of long-acting risperidone microspheres administrered in the muscle at 2 week intervals in patients with schizophrenia.

The patients will receive intramuscular injections either 25, 37.5, 50 mg equivalent of risperidone at every 2 weeks for 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing risperidone in people with Schizophrenia, run by Janssen Korea, Ltd., Korea.

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 1 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 27 Apr 2010. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

The symptomatic remission rate at 48 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 NCT00216528, 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 27 Apr 2010.
