About this study

Official title: Risperdal Safety Protocol Evaluation Consta Treatment; A Post Authorization Safety Survey With RISPERDAL CONSTA TM

The purpose of this research study is to gather information on the safety and efficacy of risperidone when used in routine clinical practice.

Read the detailed description

This post-authorisation safety survey (PASS) is an international, multicentre, naturalistic, descriptive survey to confirm safety of risperidone in daily practice. This is a single-arm, prospective, observational survey to compare the safety profile between groups defined by existing risk or disease factors or patient characteristics. The study duration is 6 months with 4 patient visits. The primary objective of this PASS is to confirm safety, as identified in phase III clinical trials of risperidone, by collecting data when the drug is used under marketed conditions in routine clinical practice. A secondary objective is to evaluate effectiveness and reasons for initiating risperidone. Each investigator is to document data for 4-10 treated patients for whom risperidone long-acting injectable (RLAI) treatment is determined to be clinically indicated. Risperidone long-acting injectable (RLAI) is given as intramuscular injections every 2 weeks. The starting dose of RLAI will be in accordance with the product label (usually 25 mg). If necessary, the dosage of the injection may be increased gradually. Treatment duration is 26 weeks. To ensure continued antipsychotic coverage until the main release of risperidone from the microspheres, previous antipsychotic therapy will be continued concomitantly during the first three weeks of the study.

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?

To confirm safety, as identified in phase III clinical trials of risperidone by collecting data (including adverse event information) when the drug is used under marketed conditions in routine clinical practice. (time frame: at baseline and at month 1, 3 and 6.). 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 18 Oct 2010.
