About this study

Assured treatment with Risperal CONSTA will provide first-episode patients, who have a greater potential for therapeutic response, with their best opportunity for continued improvement in cognitive function beyond three months of treatment.

Read the detailed description

First episode patients have a greater potential for therapeutic response than multi-episode patients, and many of them also havea great desire to rejoin the workforce. Unfortunately, first episode patients become non-compliant or intermittently compliant with prescribed antipsychotic treatment at least as frequently as multi-episode patients. We believe that assured treatment with Risperal CONTSTA will provide first episode patients wiwth their best opporutnity for continued improvement in cognitive function beyond 3 months of treatment and that improvements in cognitive function will be associated with a greater likelihood of employment, real-world outcomes, such as independent living, as well as measures of brain function.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Antipsychotic/Risperidone Consta in people with Schizophrenia, run by Duke University at 2 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 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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 was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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 2 Dec 2017.
