About this study

Acute and sub-chronic administration of olanzapine has shown a favourable effect on the sleep disturbances in previously medicated schizophrenia patients with predominantly negative symptoms. The present study will be carried out to clarify the effect of olanzapine on polysomnographic profiles of schizophrenia patients in an acute phase of illness after controlling for the drug effects.

Read the detailed description

Twenty schizophrenia patients (11 drug naïve and 9 drug free) will be studied over a period of six weeks of olanzapine treatment. Patients will be assessed at the baseline on BPRS, PANSS, CDSS and UKU side effect rating scales and a baseline 40 channels polysomnography will be done. After the initial assessment, patients will put on olanzapine treatment, in flexible dosages based on clinical response, for a period of six weeks when a final assessment on clinical rating scales and polysomnography will be done. The sleep data will be scored manually for staging based on Rechtschaffen and Kales criteria.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Olanzapine in people with Schizophrenia and Sleep, run by Central Institute of Psychiatry, Ranchi, India at 1 site in India.

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 5 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 23 Jun 2010. 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 India. 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?

Sleep EEG (time frame: 06 weeks). 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 23 Jun 2010.
