What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
IloperidoneDrug
Also called Fanapt®
Over-encapsulated iloperidone tablets were administered orally using a bid schedule; the strengths used include 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 mg.
PlaceboDrug
Matching placebo capsules were administered orally using a bid schedule during the double-blind period.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Iloperidone | Experimental | After meeting all entry criteria, completing a 1-week open-label iloperidone titation period (up to 12 mg/day), followed by a 14-24 week open-label iloperidone flexible dose-stabilization period (up to 24 mg/day), approximately 260 patients will be randomized to one of two arms in a 1:1 ratio of iloperidone (flexible dosing 8-24 mg/day) to placebo. Post-randomization double-blind study medication will be administered orally twice daily for up to 26 weeks to evaluate relapse prevention. Subsequently, during the extension period, after a 1-week mock double-blind titration, open-label iloperidone (8-24 mg/day) is administered for up to 51 weeks to evaluate long-term safety. Receives: Drug: Iloperidone |
| Placebo | Placebo comparator | Post-randomization matching placebo is administered orally bid during the double-blind period. Receives: Drug: Placebo |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Time to Relapse or Impending Relapse
Relapse or impending relapse was defined as any of the following: hospitalization due to worsening of schizophrenia; increase (worsening) of the PANSS total score of greater than or equal to 30% from randomization, PANSS total score confirmed at a second visit conducted within 1-7 days; clinically significant emergent or worsening suicidal, homicidal, or aggressive behavior; a CGI-Improvement (CGI-I) score of 6 (much worse) or 7 (very much worse) after randomization; a dose increase in study medication or a need for additional open-label antipsychotic treatment.
Measured: Up to 26 weeks post-randomization
Secondary outcomes (3)
PANSS Total Score, Change From Baseline to Last Visit
The 30-item Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) was developed to assess the severity of symptoms of schizophrenia. The PANSS items are divided into positive, negative, and general psychopathology factors. All items were rated on a scale of 1 (absent) to 7 (extremely severe). The PANSS total score (or rating) is the sum of all 30 PANSS items taken together (the sum of its 3 subscales), with a maximum score of 210. Change from baseline is calculated as post value minus baseline value. A negative change indicates improvement.
Measured: Up to 26 weeks post-randomization
CGI-S, Last Visit
The 7-item Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S) scale was developed to assess the overall, absolute degree of illness at any point in time. A rating of 1 is equivalent to "normal, not at all ill," and a rating of 7 is equivalent to "among the most extremely ill patients."
Measured: Up to 26 weeks post-randomization
SDS Total Score, Change From Baseline to Last Visit
The Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) a self-reported measure that was developed to assess functional impairment in 3 inter-related domains (i.e., work/school, social, and family life). It is a 10-point visual analog scale with 0 being not impaired at all and 10 extremely impaired. Change from baseline is calculated as post value minus baseline value. A negative change indicates improvement.
Measured: Up to 26 weeks post-randomization

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 8 inclusion and 17 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 17 Jul 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

The record lists 63 sites in United States, Ukraine, 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?
Time to Relapse or Impending Relapse (time frame: Up to 26 weeks post-randomization). 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 NCT01291511, which also lists 1 linked publication.
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?
