About this study

Official title: Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Intramuscular Injections of Risperidone ISM® in Patients With Acute Exacerbation of Schizophrenia: Open Label Extension (PRISMA-3_OLE)

This is the long-term open label extension (OLE) of the study PRISMA-3 (NCT03160521). Those patients who complete participation in the main segment of the study (double blind) together with other clinically stable not previously enrolled (de novo patients) may opt to participate in this extension segment, where they will receive active Risperidone ISM® (75 mg or 100 mg)under open-label conditions every four weeks for approximately 12 months.

Read the detailed description

Patients who have completed planned participation in the double-blind segment of the study PRISMA-3 (NCT03160521) through to the end of the treatment period, may be eligible to enter into this optional long-term extension segment of the study. During this extension, open-label Risperidone ISM® (i.e., either 75 or 100 mg) will be administered to all participating patients once every 4 weeks for approximately 12 months. Patients who enter into the extension segment of the study will begin participation in the extension segment immediately upon completion of the end-of-treatment visit assessments and procedures.

In addition to patients continuing from the double-blind segment of the study PRISMA-3 (rollover patients), clinically stable patients not previously enrolled in the study (de novo patients) may be eligible to enter the long-term extension segment of the study. These patients will be evaluated for eligibility at a screening visit and, if eligible, will be allocated to receive either 75 or 100 mg Risperidone ISM every 4 weeks for approximately 12 months.

Approximately 100 de novo patients are planned to be enrolled in the extension segment of the study, in addition to rollover patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. PANSS Total Score Mean Change From Baseline to Endpoint

    The Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) is a 30-item clinician-rated instrument for assessing the symptoms of schizophrenia.The 30 symptoms are rated on a 7-point scale that ranges from 1 (absent) to 7 (extreme psychopathology). The PANSS total score is the sum of all 30 PANSS items and ranges from 30 to 210, with 30 indicating absence of symptoms of schizophrenia and 210 indicating extreme ratings of all 30 symptoms. Negative change from baseline scores indicates improvements in symptoms whereas higher scores mean a worse outcome.

    Endpoint is defined as study day 365 or the last post-baseline assessment if early discontinuation.

    Measured: Baseline and Day 365 (or the last post-baseline assessment)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Risperidone ISM 75 mg and Risperidone ISM 100 mg in people with Schizophrenia, run by Rovi Pharmaceuticals Laboratories at 24 sites in 2 countries.

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 26 inclusion and 32 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 25 Mar 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 24 sites in United States, Ukraine. 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 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 23 Feb 2022). 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?

PANSS Total Score Mean Change From Baseline to Endpoint (time frame: Baseline and Day 365 (or the last post-baseline assessment)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03870880, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 25 Mar 2022.
