What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Rapid Acting Intramuscular OlanzapineDrug
Also called LY170053, olanzapine, RAIM
10mg/injection, IM. If patients do not respond to the first study medication or if patients do not have enough improvement based on the investigator's judgment, and in addition, if the investigator judges it is reasonable, the patient will receive a second injection at the same dose strength as the first injection after 2 hours following the first injection (no later than 8 hours after the first injection).
Isotonic sodium chloride solutionDrug
0.9% sodium chloride (NaCl) solution. If patients do not respond to the first study medication or if patients do not have enough improvement based on the investigator's judgment, and in addition, if the investigator judges it is reasonable, the patient will receive a second injection at the same dose strength as the first injection after 2 hours following the first injection (no later than 8 hours after the first injection).
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| IM olanzapine 10mg | Experimental | Patients will receive at least one injection of Intramuscular (IM) olanzapine 10mg. If patients do not respond to the study medication or if patients do not have enough improvement based on the investigator's judgment, and in addition, if the investigator judges it is reasonable, the patient will receive a second injection at the same dose strength as the first injection after 2 hours following the first injection (no later than 8 hours after the first injection). Receives: Drug: Rapid Acting Intramuscular Olanzapine |
| IM placebo | Placebo comparator | Patients will receive at least one injection of Intramuscular placebo. If patients do not respond to the study medication or if patients do not have enough improvement based on the investigator's judgment, and in addition, if the investigator judges it is reasonable, the patient will receive a second injection at the same dose strength as the first injection after 2 hours following the first injection (no later than 8 hours after the first injection). Receives: Drug: Isotonic sodium chloride solution |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change From Baseline to 2 Hours Post the First Intramuscular (IM) Injection in Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale-Excited Component (PANSS-EC)
Measures excitability and consists of the following 5 items from the PANSS: Excitement, Hostility, Tension, Uncooperativeness, and Poor Impulse Control. Each item is rated on a scale from 1 (Absent) to 7 (Extreme). The sum of the 5 items is defined as the PANSS-EC total score which ranges from 5 to 35.
Measured: 2 hours post first intramuscular (IM) injection
Secondary outcomes (3)
Change From Baseline to Each Timepoint in Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale-Excited Component (PANSS-EC)
Measures excitability and consists of the following 5 items from the PANSS: Excitement, Hostility, Tension, Uncooperativeness, and Poor Impulse Control. Each item is rated on a scale from 1 (Absent) to 7 (Extreme). The sum of the 5 items is defined as the PANSS-EC total score which ranges from 5 to 35.
Measured: 15 min, 30 min, 60 min, 90 min post first IM injection
Number of Responders at 2 Hours After First Intramuscular (IM) Injection
A responder was defined ast he patient with ≥ 40% decrease in the PANSS-EC total score at 2 hours after the first IM injection in comparison with baseline. (See outcome measure 1 for description of PANSS-EC).
Measured: 2 hours post first IM injection
Number of Participants With Scores of 4 to 7 in the Agitation-Calmness Evaluation Scale (ACES) at Each Timepoint
The ACES differentiates agitation, calmness, and sleep-state, using a 9-point scale: 1 (Marked Agitation) to 9 (Unarousable). Scores of 4 (Normal) to 7 (Marked Calmness) were used for this outcome measure.
Measured: 30 min, 60 min, 90 min and 2 hours post first IM injection
