About this study

Previous researchers indicate that impaired cognitive flexibility was the primary factor distinguishing patients with from those without tardive dyskinesia (TD)1, and cognitive dysfunction correlates positively with the severity of TD2. Longitudinal data raised the possibility that the association between cognitive dysfunction and TD may reflect not organic vulnerability to but rather a state marker for this movement disorder as "tardive dementia"3. Atypical antipsychotic had been reported to alleviate the severity of TD4 and improved neurocognitive function separately5. But no researchers ever investigated the correlation of the two effects simultaneously. This randomized, single-blind and controlled study compared the effect of atypical antipsychotic on TD, neurocognitive function and associated factors for these changes.

Read the detailed description

Eighty chronic schizophrenia inpatients who received conventional antipsychotics for more than one year, and met Schooler and Kane's criteria for persistent TD were enrolled in the study. The subjects were randomized to three groups: the olanzapine, amisulpride and FGA (first generation antipsychotic) controlled groups. Neurocognitive function were assessed using Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WSCT) and Continuous Performance test (CPT) at baseline, 12th week and 24th week. Clinical successive ratings were performed with Brief psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS), AIMS (Abnormal Involuntary Movement Rating Scale), Simpson-Angus Rating Scale (SAS), Udvalg for Kliniske Undersogelser side effect ratings (UKU) and Barnes akathesia scale (BAS).To evaluate the influences of prognostic factors on tardive dyskinesia and neurocognitive function and to control for all potential confounding variables, longitudinal analyses on the repeated measures data were conducted using generalized estimating equation models (GEE).

What participants receive

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

  • amisulprideDrug

    Also called solian

    amisulpride tablet 100-1200mg/day for 24 months

  • OlanzapineDrug

    Also called zyprexa

    Olanzapine tablet 2.5 to 30 mg/day for 24 months

  • Conventional antipsychoticsDrug

    Also called conventional antipsychotic

    the subjects were randomized to the conventional antipsychotic group to maintain their original conventional antipsychotics

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing amisulpride, Olanzapine and Conventional antipsychotics in people with Tardive Dyskinesia and Neurocognitive Function, run by Taipei Veterans General Hospital, Taiwan at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 3 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 24 Jun 2009. 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 Taiwan. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

change of Abnormal Involuntary movement scale(AIMS), Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WSCT) and Continuous Performance test (CPT) (time frame: 24 months). 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 24 Jun 2009.
