About this study

The purpose of the study is to investigate these effects of Second-Generation Antipsychotic (SGAs) on glucose and lipid metabolic parameters in patients with schizophrenia, and explore the relationship between genes polymorphisms (such as drug metabolic enzyme, Endogenous Cannabinoid Receptor Type 1(CB1) and so on) and the SGAs-induced glucose and lipid metabolic disorder in Chinese Han persons with schizophrenia who are taking one of the SGAs(olanzapine, risperidone or ziprasidone).

Read the detailed description

SGAs now is used as the main tool to treat schizophrenia, however,the mechanism of glucose and lipid metabolism disorder it brings is still unclear. Based on the previous studies, the investigators found that the CB1 gene has a close connection with the metabolism disorder.The investigators suppose that the CB1 also has a significant role in regulation of energy and metabolism in hypothalamus. In this study ,the investigators will recruit 300 Patients with schizophrenia who defined by Diagnostic and Statistical Manual-5 (DSM-5), aged 18 to 60,and all the participants will receive a 6-week systematic treatment by one of the SGAs(including olanzapine, risperidone oral solution, ziprasidone capsules), and a battery of assessments of treatment effect and safety. Plasma concentration will be tested regularly, and these genes polymorphisms of CB1 and other associated with energy metabolism will be conducted by the second generation of gene detection techniques.This study could provide evidence and data to achieve the aim of individualized medication, reduce the drugs' side effect, also throw light on the production of medication for correct the metabolism disorder.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT02964923
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Olanzapine groupFollowing the baseline assessment, subjects will enter an open treatment group with Olanzapine(Zyprexa) lasting 6 weeks. The subjects will start with a dose of 5-10mg/d , which would be adjusted to as low as 10 mg/d or as high as 20 mg/d, based on clinical response.And drug dose adjustments must be completed within 1 week.
Risperidone groupFollowing the baseline assessment, subjects will enter an open treatment group with Risperidone oral solution(Risperdal) lasting 6 weeks. The subjects will start with a dose of 1ml/d , which would be adjusted to as low as 4 ml/d or as high as 6 ml/d, based on clinical response.Drug dose adjustments interval is generally not less than 2 days, and should reach a effective dose of 4~6ml/d within 1 week.
Ziprasidone groupFollowing the baseline assessment, subjects will enter an open treatment group with Ziprasidone Hydrochloride Capsules(Zeldox) lasting 6 weeks. They started with a dose of 40mg/d , which would be adjusted to as low as 80mg/d or as high as 160/d, based on clinical response.Drug dose adjustments interval is generally not less than 2 days, and should reach a effective dose of 80~160mg/d within 10 days.

What is being measured

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

  1. identification of the effect of some genes polymorphism on the development of glucose and lipid metabolism disorder in patients with schizophrenia who are treated with the SGAs

    Measured: measured at week 2

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. identification of the change of the body mass index in patients with schizophrenia who are treated with the SGAs

    the ration of participants who are total remission after treatment

    Measured: measured at baseline、week 2 and 6

  2. identification of the change of the level of Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS), 2 hours post prandial (2HPP) in patients with schizophrenia who are treated with the SGAs

    Measured: measured at baseline、week 2 and 6

  3. identification of the change of the level of lipid profile in patients with schizophrenia who are treated with the SGAs

    Measured: measured at baseline、week 2 and 6

  4. identification of the change of the level of fasting insulin in patients with schizophrenia who are treated with the SGAs

    Measured: measured at baseline、week 2 and 6

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Schizophrenia, run by Xijing Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 6 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Nov 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

identification of the effect of some genes polymorphism on the development of glucose and lipid metabolism disorder in patients with schizophrenia who are treated with the SGAs (time frame: measured at week 2). 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 16 Nov 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
