Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 20 to 45 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Within 20% of ideal body weight
  • If a woman, must be surgically sterile, or practicing an effective method of birth control (e.g., prescription oral contraceptives, contraceptive injections, intrauterine device, double-barrier method, male partner sterilization) before entry and throughout the study
  • and must have a negative serum beta HCG test at screening
  • Healthy on the basis of a pre-study physical examination, medical history, anamnesis, electrocardiogram, magnetic resonance imaging of the brain, and the results of blood biochemistry and hematology tests and a urinalysis carried out less than 2 weeks before the first dose. If the results of the biochemistry or hematology tests or the urinalysis testing are not within the laboratory's reference ranges the volunteer can be included only on condition that the investigator judges that the deviations are not clinically significant.

Who cannot join

  • History or suspicion of alcohol, barbiturate, amphetamine or narcotic abuse
  • History of cardiac arrhythmias, bronchospastic or respiratory disease, cardiovascular, neurologic, renal, hepatic, endocrine, or immunologic disease
  • Drug allergy to raclopride, paliperidone, or risperidone or any of its excipients
  • Use of concomitant medication, except for paracetamol and hormonal contraceptives. All other medication must have been stopped at least 14 days before the first PET examination
  • Received an experimental drug or used an experimental medical device within 30 days before the planned start of treatment
  • Previously used an antipsychotic medication
Show all 10Show fewer
  • Previously participated in a PET study or measurement
  • Had a significant loss of blood <1 month before the first PET examination
  • Pregnant as confirmed by a positive beta-HCG test at screening and before the first PET examination, or breastfeeding
  • Claustrophobia.

About this study

Official title: Open-label Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Study of Central D2-receptor Occupancy in Healthy Subjects Following a Single Oral Dose of OROS Paliperidone

The purposes of this study are to estimate the relationship of D2-receptor occupancy to plasma concentration and to assess the safety of OROS paliperidone.

Read the detailed description

This is a single-center, single-dose, open-label, Phase-1 Positron Emission Tomography (PET) study in 4 healthy volunteers, 2 men and 2 women. After screening, healthy eligible volunteers will be hospitalized in the study unit from study Day 2 to Day 4. On Day 1 (the day before hospitalization), volunteers will enter the study unit from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. for baseline prolactin blood sampling and sedation assessment. Each volunteer will have a control magnetic resonance imaging (at screening) and 3 PET measurements using the radioligand [11]C raclopride to measure central D2 receptor occupancy in the putamen. Blood samples to measure plasma concentrations of paliperidone will be collect immediately before and at scheduled time points after dose administration on Day 2, and immediately before, halfway through, and immediately after the PET-2 and PET-3 measurements. Serum prolactin levels will be measured immediately before and at several scheduled time points after dose administration, and immediately before and after each PET measurement. At scheduled time points, supine and standing blood pressures, pulse, sensorium changes, temperature, and degree of sedation will be recorded, volunteers will be questioned about adverse events, and they will be evaluated for extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS). Adverse events will be recorded and followed throughout the study. The rationale for the study design is based on previous PET studies with risperidone, which indicated that PET measurement of D2 receptor occupancy after a single dose of medication is useful in predicting an effective clinical dose range. Single oral dose (6 mg) of OROS paliperidone

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing 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 4 inclusion and 10 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 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?

to evaluate D2 receptor occupancy and plasma concentration of paliperidone at defined times after intake of a single dose of OROS paliperidone 6 mg. 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 10 Jun 2011.
