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. The primary objective of the study is to estimate the relative incidence among users of ziprasidone and olanzapine of non-suicide mortality within 12 months.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To estimate the relative incidence among users of ziprasidone and olanzapine of all-cause mortality, mortality due to suicide, cardiovascular mortality, mortality due to sudden death

    Measured: During the year observation period

  2. To estimate the relative incidence among users of ziprasidone and olanzapine of all-cause hospitalization, hospitalization for arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, or diabetic ketoacidosis

    Measured: During the year observation period

  3. The rate of discontinuation of randomized treatment.

    Measured: During the year observation period

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 primary objective of the study is to estimate the relative incidence among users of ziprasidone and olanzapine of non-suicide mortality within 12 months.. 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 NCT00418171, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 26 Oct 2009.
