About this study

The purpose of this research is to: (1) examine the secrection of risperidone (RIS) (Risperdal) and its metabolite, 9-OH-RIS, in saliva, (2) determine the concentration ratio of RIS and 9-OH-RIS between plasma and saliva, and (3) compare the rate of decline in concentration of RIS and 9-OH-RIS in saliva and plasma by measurements at timed intervals during a single dosing interval.

The purpose of this research is to: (1) examine the secrection of risperidone (RIS) (Risperdal) and its metabolite, 9-OH-RIS, in saliva, (2) determine the concentration ratio of RIS and 9-OH-RIS between plasma and saliva, and (3) compare the rate of decline in concentration of RIS and 9-OH-RIS in saliva and plasma by measurements at timed intervals during a single dosing interval.

RIS is a new atypical neuroleptic agent widely used in treatment of schizophrenia and related disorders. It is sometimes used in serious childhood disorders as well, such as autistic disorder. It has a beneficial effect on both positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia, accompanied by a much lower incidence of adverse effects (e.g. parkinsonism, tardive dyskinesia, dystonias, neuroleptic malignant syndrome). RIS is also used as a treatment of children with pervasive developmental disorders (PDD). RIS is metabolized to 9-OH-RIS by hepatic CYP2D6 which exhibits genetic polymorphism. Since RIS and 9-OH-RIS are equally potent, the clinical significance of CYP 2D6 status is negligible. However, in extensive metabolizers (EM) the T(1/2) or RIS is about 3 hrs and taht of 9-OH-RIS is approximately 20 hrs. In poor metabolizers (PM) the half life of RIS is about 17 hrs and that of 9-OH-RIS 23 hrs.

Since compliance is a major problem in the management of schizophrenia, we are developing a rapid simplified test to measure RIS and 9-OH-RIS in salive and compare the concentration in samples of plasma collected concurrently. In this study, 12 adult patients (18 years and above) or minors (aged 5 to 17 years) already taking risperidone for clinical reasons will take their usual morning dose. Risperidone is usually administered once or twice a day.

At various intervals thereafter, a 1 to 2-milliliter specimen of saliva will be removed from the oral cavity by means of a syringe; in some cases it is more convenient to ask volunteers to expel saliva into a plastic cup. We will try to cover an 18-hour interval following dosing for the entire group (samples will be collected at 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, and 18 hours after taking the medicine. However, only some of the samples (2 or maximum of 3) will be gathered from any single patient. Following collection of saliva, a sample of 2 to 4 ml of blood will be withdrawn, and plasma will be separated and frozen. Saliva and plasma samples will gathered where the patient's drug concentrations would ordinarily be collected (e.g., Inpatient or Outpatient clinics, or phlebotomy laboratory). RIS concentrations will be measured by high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC).

The record lists 2 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.

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?
