About this study

Official title: A Pilot, Open-Label, Non-Randomized, Single Ascending Dose, Safety and Pharmacokinetic Trial With Injectable Risperidone-SABER and the DosePro Delivery System in Patients With Chronic, Stable Schizophrenia or Schizoaffective Disorder

This is a Phase 1, open-label study to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of three doses of risperidone-SABER, administered with a needle and syringe or via the DosePro Needle-Free Delivery System in patients with chronic, stable schizophrenia.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label, single ascending dose (SAD), safety and PK study in patients with chronic, stable schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. Patients will participate in the study for a total of up to 10 weeks for Cohorts 1-3, including a Screening period of up to 35 days and a study treatment period of 35 days, and up to 14 weeks for Cohort 4, including a Screening period of up to 35 days and a study treatment period of 63 days. Patients will be assigned to one of four cohorts, and will receive a single dose of 25 mg, 50 mg or 100 mg (100 mg/mL concentration) administered as a single subcutaneous (SC) injection or via the DosePro Needle-Free Delivery System.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing risperidone-SABER and ZX003:risperidone-SABER and the DosePro System in people with Schizophrenia, run by Zogenix, Inc. at 1 site in United States.

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 11 inclusion and 23 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 Nov 2022. 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 United States. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Number and percent of patients experiencing a treatment emergent adverse event following a single dose of risperidone-SABER (time frame: Within 35 days post-dose). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 Nov 2022.
