About this study

Official title: Metabolic Effects of Olanzapine in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Psychosis

The purpose of this study was to describe metabolic changes in the first 16 weeks of anti-psychotic treatment in previously drug-naïve patients with psychosis.

We hypothesize that in drug-naive patients, greater insulin resistance prior to treatment predicts a disproportionately greater increase in insulin resistance with olanzapine treatment.

Read the detailed description

Antipsychotic medications are associated with an increased risk of diabetes. We focused on a description of early metabolic adverse effects and clinical and biochemical features that might predict these adverse effects.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • OlanzapineDrug

    Also called Zyprexa, Zydis, Relprevv

    16-week open trial of olanzapine. The patients were started on a dose of 15 mg/d by mouth, which could be adjusted to as low as 10 mg/d or as high as 40 mg/d, based on clinical response. The trial began while they were hospitalized and continued after discharge.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Olanzapine in people with Schizophrenia, run by National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) at 1 site in Spain.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 19 Nov 2014. 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 Spain. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Nov 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Body Mass Index (time frame: Baseline and 4 week intervals). The study lists 9 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00446992, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 19 Nov 2014.
