A Phase 1 study testing extended-release (ER) OROS paliperidone in people with Schizophrenia, run by Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development, L.L.C..
Trial summary
The purpose of this study is a noninferiority comparison of the orthostatic tolerability of a dose of 12 mg extended-release (ER) OROS paliperidone with the current recommended initial titration dose (2 mg) of immediate-release (IR) risperidone in patients with schizophrenia.

About this study
Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo- and Active-controlled, Parallel-group, Phase 1 Study to Compare the Tolerability of OROS Paliperidone (Extended Release) With Immediate-release (IR) Risperidone in Subjects With Schizophrenia
The purpose of this study is a noninferiority comparison of the orthostatic tolerability of a dose of 12 mg extended-release (ER) OROS paliperidone with the current recommended initial titration dose (2 mg) of immediate-release (IR) risperidone in patients with schizophrenia. Other study objectives are 1) to compare the tolerability and safety of a clinically equivalent fixed dose of ER OROS paliperidone with the currently recommended dose of risperidone, 2) to compare the early tolerability of the 2 treatments with placebo, 3) to compare tolerability of the 2 treatments, using a population pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (pop PK/PD) model, to 4) assess the relationship between genetic variability in drug metabolizing enzymes and interindividual variability in plasma exposure to paliperidone or risperidone within each treatment group.

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo- and active-controlled, parallel group, Phase 1. The study in patients with schizophrenia consists of a 1 week, open-label, placebo washout period (Days -7 to -1) and a 6 day double-blind treatment period during which patients will receive 1 of 3 treatments: placebo on Day 1 and ER OROS paliperidone (12 mg) on Days 2 to 6, ER OROS paliperidone (12 mg) on Days 1 to 6, or IR risperidone 2 mg on Day 1 and 4 mg on Days 2 to 6. Safety and tolerability will be monitored throughout the study.. ER OROS paliperidone (12 mg, oral) on Days 2 to 6, ER OROS paliperidone (12 mg, oral) on Days 1 to 6, or IR risperidone (oral) 2 mg on Day 1 and 4 mg on Days 2 to 6

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing extended-release (ER) OROS paliperidone in people with Schizophrenia, run by Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development, L.L.C..
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 6 inclusion and 12 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 8 Jun 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
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 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.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
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?
A non-inferiority comparison of the orthostatic tolerability of a higher initial dose of paliperidone OROS with the current recommended initial dose of risperidone in patients with schizophrenia. 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 8 Jun 2011.
