About this study

Official title: Risperidone in the Treatment of Children and Adolescents With Conduct and Other Disruptive Behavior Disorders - an Open Label Follow-up Trial of CR002020

The primary purpose of this study is to document the long-term safety of an oral formulation of risperidone in the treatment of children and adolescents with conduct and other disruptive behavior disorders. Data on the efficacy of the drug will also be collected. Only patients who were enrolled in the previous related study would be eligible to participate.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label study of an oral formulation of risperidone to be taken daily over 12 months by children and adolescents with conduct and other disruptive behavior disorders. It is an extension of a randomized, double-blind study (RIS-INT-79) comparing risperidone with placebo over 6 months in patients who had already shown response to the medication for a period of 12 weeks. Efficacy assessments include: the Conduct Problem subscale of the Nisonger Child Behavior Rating Form (N-CBRF), a measure of symptoms of conduct and other disruptive behavior disorders; Visual Analogue Scale for the most troublesome symptom (VAS-MS), a scale ranging from not troublesome to extremely troublesome; Clinical Global Impression-Severity of Illness (CGI-Severity), a measure of overall severity of illness; Children's Global Assessment Scale (C-GAS), as assessment overall functioning. Safety evaluations include incidence of adverse events, physical examinations, laboratory tests (biochemistry, hematology, and urinalysis), and electrocardiograms (ECGs). Oral risperidone solution (1milligram/milliliter) daily for 1year. For patients weighing at least 50kg, start dose is 0.5ml/day. At investigator's discretion, dose may be increased (maximum 1.5ml/d over 5 days). Patients under 50kg start at 0.25ml/d, increased, if required, to maximum 0.75ml/d.

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. To accumulate long-term safety data: incidence of adverse events and clinical evaluations (physical exam, laboratory tests) conducted throughout the trial.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To asses long-term efficacy data: changes from baseline to 1 year in Conduct Problem subscale of N-CBRF; VAS-MS changes from baseline through 1 year; CGI-Severity subscale at every visit; C-GAS rated for global functioning at the endpoint.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing risperidone in people with Disruptive Behavior 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 2 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 8 Jun 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 accumulate long-term safety data: incidence of adverse events and clinical evaluations (physical exam, laboratory tests) conducted throughout the trial.. 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 8 Jun 2011.
