About this study

Official title: A Quality Use of Medicine Clinical Registry to Assess Clinical Outcomes in Patients With Schizophrenia Treated With Intramuscular Injections of Paliperidone Palmitate

The primary objective of this study is to determine if Australian patients with schizophrenia treated with paliperidone palmitate under conditions of continuous monitoring of outcomes over a 12-month period achieve relapse rates comparable to published literature.

Read the detailed description

This study involves the establishment of PEARL, an Australian Quality Use of Medicine clinical registry designed to collect clinical and social data on up to 300 patients with schizophrenia for a 12-month period after initiating treatment with intramuscular (IM) injections of paliperidone palmitate as part of their routine clinical care. Continuous feedback of clinical outcomes will be via regular reports to all registry sites. Enrollment in PEARL should be considered only after the clinical decision to prescribe IM paliperidone palmitate has already been made because the treating physician has determined that this treatment is the best option for the patient. Observational Study - No investigational drug administered

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Schizophrenia, run by Janssen-Cilag Pty Ltd at 10 sites in Australia.

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 3 inclusion and 2 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 Mar 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in Australia. 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.

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?

Number of patients with symptomatic relapse (time frame: Up to 12 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 10 Mar 2016.
