About this study

The purpose of this study is to assess patients treated with the antipsychotics aripiprazole (Abilify®), olanzapine (Zyprexa®), quetiapine (Seroquel®), risperidone (Risperdal®), or ziprasidone (Geodon®) and to identify genetic variations more commonly found in individuals who develop diabetic metabolic signs and symptoms, which include changes in blood lipids, blood glucose, blood pressure, and body weight.

Read the detailed description

As many as 30% of psychiatric patients experience weight gain, central deposition of fat, dyslipidemia, increased blood glucose and hypertension--diabetic metabolic symptoms--upon treatment with atypical antipsychotic medication. As a result, cardiovascular disease risk is significantly increased.

The long-term goal of this collaborative study is to identify, for each individual atypical antipsychotic (AAP) medication, the gene variations associated with elevated risk of diabetic metabolic symptoms (DiMS). If such genes are identified, in the future genetic testing may help mental health care professionals choose treatment while minimizing the risk of undesirable side effects of antipsychotics. We propose to develop a novel product termed "Physiotype" to deliver personalized information for each patient on the drug specific risks among aripiprazole, olanzapine, quetiapine, risperidone, and ziprasidone. The Physiotype consists of a multi-gene ensemble of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that, interpreted with a biomathematical algorithm, may explain most of the inter-individual differences in DiMS among the 5 AAPs. If this study does identify related genes, genetic tests will be developed to provide patients and health care professionals with tools to identify those patients who are at risk of developing adverse metabolic side effects to antipsychotics.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Psychoses, run by Genomas, Inc at 2 sites in United States.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Sep 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Steven Woolley, PhD (860-545-7329, swoolle@harthosp.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

diabetic metabolic symptoms (DiMS): body weight, body mass index, waist circumference, blood pressure, triglycerides, total, LDL, and HDL cholesterol, blood glucose (time frame: after treatment with antipsychotic medication(s) for => 3 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 NCT00752960, which also lists 4 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 16 Sep 2008.
