About this study

Official title: A Three-armed Randomised Controled Trial on the Effect of Genotyping for CYP450 Polymorphisms and Intense Clinical Monitoring on Antipsychotic Drug Treatment.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether genotyping for CYP2D6 and 2C19 polymorphisms or intense clinical monitoring of treatment and adverse effects improves the antipsychotic treatment in patients with schizophrenia. This study is designed as a three-armed prospective randomized controlled clinical trial and includes 300 patients with schizophrenia. Patients are followed for a period of one year.

During the study period the following effect measures are registered:

  • Time to discontinuation of all antipsychotic medications
  • Number of changes in medication dose
  • Number of changes in medication
  • Compliance (patients´ adherence to medical treatment)
  • Clinical symptoms
  • Adverse effects
Conditions
Schizophrenia
Being tested
(1) Genotyping for CYP4502D6 and 2C19 polymorphisms, (2) Intense clinical monitoring, (3) Control

What participants receive

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

  • (1) Genotyping for CYP4502D6 and 2C19 polymorphismsGenetic

    In this study arm (1), the genotype information is given to the physician in charge of treatment and can be used to direct the pharmacological treatment according to local guidelines. In the guidelines the genotype is translated to the clinical designation "normal", "slow" or "fast" metabolizer of CYP2D6 or "normal" or "slow" metabolizer of CYP2C19. Different treatment options for the different genotypes are described.

  • (2) Intense clinical monitoringOther

    In this study arm (2) the genotype information is not revealed. The intervention consists of an intensified clinical monitoring of treatment effect, side effects and patient perspective. Staffpersonnel is trained in the use of a clinical manual that builds on a selection of validated questions from the Scale for the Assessment of Positive Symptoms (SAPS), Side effect score (Udvalg af Kliniske Undersøgelser (UKU) and Rating of Medical Influences (ROMI). The manual has to be used at least once in a quarter (every third month), which is monitored by the study personnel. Data registered by the patients primary contact person are not used as outcome measures in the study but only as intervention tool for the optimisation of the medical antipsychotic treatment.

  • (3) ControlOther

    In this studyarm (3), (Control) treatment followed usual local practice. The genotype information was not revealed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing (1) Genotyping for CYP4502D6 and 2C19 polymorphisms and (2) Intense clinical monitoring in people with Schizophrenia, run by Gesche Jurgens at 1 site in Denmark.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. 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 10 Feb 2012. 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 Denmark. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Time to discontinuation of initial antipsychotic treatment (time frame: one year). 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 NCT00707382, 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 10 Feb 2012.
