About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Open Label, Single Center, Single Ascending Dose Study of the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetic Profile of RBP-7000 at Low, Medium, and High Doses

The purpose of this study was to assess the safety and tolerability of injections of RBP-7000 in subjects with stable schizophrenia

Read the detailed description

This was an open-label, single-center, Phase 1, single ascending dose study, designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of a single SC injection of low, medium and high doses of RBP-7000 in subjects with clinically stable schizophrenia who were not taking risperidone. The design was a sequential cohort with treatment initiated in 3 cohorts after safety and tolerability at a lower dose were confirmed.

Eligible subjects received a single oral test dose of 0.25mg risperidone under medical supervision. Subjects who continued to be eligible were admitted to a residential unit for approximately 14 days, and received a single dose of RBP-7000. Subjects were discharged on Day 15 and returned to the clinical site weekly for approximately 10 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [Safety and Tolerability] after a subcutaneous injection of a single 60 mg, 90 mg, and 120 mg dose of risperidone in RBP-7000 in subjects with clinically stable schizophrenia

    Adverse events, serious adverse events, and discontinuations due to AEs related to treatment.

    Measured: Day 1 through Day 85

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of risperidone and total risperidone

    Blood samples for PK were collected and analyzed for concentration data of risperidone, 9-hydroxyrisperidone, and total risperidone throughout the study period

    Measured: Day 0 through Day 85

  2. Time of occurrence of Cmax (Tmax) of risperidone and total risperidone

    Blood samples for PK were collected and analyzed for concentration-time data of risperidone, 9-hydroxyrisperidone, and total risperidone throughout the study period

    Measured: Day 0 through time of last quantifiable concentration

  3. Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC)

    Area under the risperidone and total risperidone plasma concentration-time curves from time-zero to Day 85

    Measured: Day 0 through Day 85

  4. Observed terminal rate constant of risperidone and total risperidone (λz)

    λz estimated by linear regression through at least 3 data points in the terminal phase of the log concentration-time profile

    Measured: Day 0 through Day 85

  5. Terminal half-life of risperidone and total risperidone (T1/2)

    The observed terminal half-life of risperidone, 9-hydroxyrisperidone, and total risperidone was calculated

    Measured: Day 0 through Day 85

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing RBP-7000 and risperidone in people with Schizophrenia, run by Indivior 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 4 inclusion and 21 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 11 May 2016. 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?

Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [Safety and Tolerability] after a subcutaneous injection of a single 60 mg, 90 mg, and 120 mg dose of risperidone in RBP-7000 in subjects with clinically stable schizophrenia (time frame: Day 1 through Day 85). 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 11 May 2016.
