About this study

Official title: A Randomized Controlled Trial Study of Risperidone and Olanzapine for the Schizophrenic Patients With Neuroleptic-Induced Acute Dystonia or Parkinsonism

We initiate a study with research grant from department of health and Taoyuan mental hospital and choose risperidone and olanzapine as study medications. We compare the incidence of using anticholinergic drugs in schizophrenic patients of Han ethnics with neuroleptic-induced acute dystonia or parkinsonism to test the hypothesis that these two medications have different EPS incidence in EPS intolerant population.

Read the detailed description

Objective: First generation antipsychotics frequently induced extrapyramidal side effects (EPS). Second generation antipsychotics were the choices for EPS intolerant schizophrenic patients. But which one of second generation antipsychotic was the better choice did not have definitive results. We compared risperidone and olanzapine in schizophrenic patients with acute dystonia or parkinsonism side effects and observed the incidence of needing concomitant anticholinergic drugs. We also collected the data of average dose of risperidone and olanzapine to help the dosing strategy guidelines for EPS intolerant schizophrenic patients.

Method: This randomized, rater-blind, parallel group, flexible dose study enrolled patients from Taoyuan Mental Hospital from July 2000 to July 2003. Schizophrenia (DSM-IV) patients who met the research criteria of neuroleptic-induced acute dystonia or parkinsonism research criteria of DSM-IV and greater than moderate severity (>4) of global impression of extrapyramidal syndrome rating scale (ESRS). 70 patients were random assignment to risperidone or olanzapine for 8 weeks. The primary outcome was to compare the incidence of concomitant anticholinergic drugs.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Risperidone and Olanzapine in people with Schizophrenia and Extrapyramidal Syndrome, run by Taoyuan Psychiatric Center, Ministry of Health and Welfare, Executive Yuan, R.O.C. Taiwan at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 5 inclusion and 4 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 31 May 2006. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Taiwan. 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 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?

Percentage of using concomitant anticholinergic drugs. 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 31 May 2006.
