About this study

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of JNS007ER 3-12 mg once daily in patients with schizophrenia over a long term period.

Read the detailed description

This is a 48-week, multicenter, open-label (all people know the identity of the intervention), non-controlled, arbitrary-dose study. The patients included in this study are those who participated in the preceding double-blind (neither physician nor patient knows the treatment that the patient receives) comparative trial (study JNS007ER-JPN-S31) of JNS007ER and completed the study, or those who remained in the study up to the evaluation at 2 weeks and discontinued the study after that for insufficient treatment efficacy. The study will assess the safety of JNS007ER in the clinical recommended dose range in a long term treatment. The dosage will be started at 6 mg/day, and it can be increased or decreased 3 mg at a time depending on the patient's symptom within the range of 3 mg/day to 12 mg/day. For dose adjustments, the investigator will evaluate the psychiatric symptoms before defining the dose change.

Detailed Description: Extended description of the protocol, including more technical information (as compared to the Brief Summary) if desired. Do not include the entire protocol; do not duplicate information recorded in other data elements, such as eligibility criteria or outcome measures.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Incidence of Adverse Events

    The incidence of adverse events was measured by the percentage of patients who presented one or more adverse events.

    Measured: 48 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change From Baseline in Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS)

    PANSS is a medical scale that assesses various symptoms of schizophrenia. The symptoms are rated on a 7-point scale from 1 (absent) to 7 (extreme psychopathology). The total score is the sum of all 30 PANSS items, with a range of 30 (absent) to 210 (extreme ill).

    Measured: Baseline, Week 48

  2. Change From Baseline in Clinical Global Impression - Severity (CGI-S)

    The CGI-S rating scale is a 7 point global assessment that measures the clinician's impression of the severity of illness exhibited by a patient. 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: Baseline, Week 48

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Paliperidone extended-release (JNS007ER) in people with Schizophrenia, run by Janssen Pharmaceutical K.K..

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 5 inclusion and 14 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 28 Sep 2012. 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 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 10 Sep 2012). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Incidence of Adverse Events (time frame: 48 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 28 Sep 2012.
