About this study
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of atypical antipsychotics on cardiac safety. The secondary purpose was to understand the rate of QTc prolongation in electrocardiogram induced by atypical antipsychotics. And try to construct the model of cardiac monitoring index. We conducted a randomized trial in which patients with schizophrenia who were first on or off medication for more than two weeks took a single atypical antipsychotic (Risperidone, Aripiprazole, Ziprasidone, Amisulpride, Quetiapine) for 12 weeks and monitored changes in biochemical, electrocardiogram and other indicators. And then 50 patients with adverse cardiac reactions (ADRs) taking antipsychotics were selected to review the data, analyze and construct a monitoring model.
We hypothesized that atypical antipsychotics with different mechanisms of action have different effects on cardiac safety in patients with schizophrenia, and that they are applicable to different populations. The monitoring index model can reduce the occurrence of cardiotoxicity and improve the prognosis.
Read the detailed description
Atypical antipsychotics, also known as new antipsychotics, are a group of drugs that act on the central nervous system to treat schizophrenia, psychotic disorder or bipolar disorder. Compared with typical antipsychotics, atypical antipsychotics have the advantages of good efficacy and fewer side effects. Therefore, currently, atypical antipsychotics are widely used in clinical practice. In recent years, the effects of atypical antipsychotics on metabolism and cardiovascular system have attracted more and more clinical attention. Studies have found that long-term use of atypical antipsychotics can lead to arrhythmias, drug-induced myocarditis, and even cardiac arrest. Since antipsychotics can cause cardiac adverse events in patients with schizophrenia, accompanied by medical complications, resulting in a generally shorter life span of 15-25 years compared with the general population, cardiac safety assessment of drugs for patients with schizophrenia is becoming increasingly important. But the domestic study of antipsychotics in the cardiovascular field, especially about the safety of heart systemic evaluation are few and far between, so this research has focused on patients with schizophrenia in China people use different mechanisms of atypical antipsychotics (Risperidone, Aripiprazole, Ziprasidone, Amisulpride, Quetiapine) on heart safety.
In the first stage, a total of 350 schizophrenia patients were enrolled who were either not on medication for the first time or stopped for more than 2 weeks. They were treated with atypical antipsychotics respectively, follow-up of 12 weeks, evaluating the effects of antipsychotics on cardiac function and structure in patients with schizophrenia from general data, biochemistry, electrocardiogram, etc. In the second stage, 50 patients of adverse cardiac reactions caused by taking antipsychotics were selected from enrolled subjects, and a retrospective analysis(day1, week4, week12, and week24) was conducted to try to build a cardiac safety detection indicator model, so as to understand the impact of antipsychotics on cardiac safety. More rational use of antipsychotics in the context of ensuring clinical efficacy and minimum side effects, and the use of monitoring indicator models to reduce the occurrence of cardiac toxicity, improve the safety of antipsychotics in use.

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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
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?
Contact LV QINYU (18017311158, 18616550357@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Cardiac QTc(corrected QT interval) interphase changes after drug administration. (time frame: baseline, week2,4, 8, 12,24). 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 26 Aug 2020.
