A Study of the Safety of Risperidone in the Treatment of Children and Adolescents With Conduct and Other Disruptive Behavior Disorders

June 6, 2011 updated by: Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development, L.L.C.

Risperidone in the Treatment of Children and Adolescents With Conduct and Other Disruptive Behavior Disorders - an Open Label Follow-up Trial of CR002020

The primary purpose of this study is to document the long-term safety of an oral formulation of risperidone in the treatment of children and adolescents with conduct and other disruptive behavior disorders. Data on the efficacy of the drug will also be collected. Only patients who were enrolled in the previous related study would be eligible to participate.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This is an open-label study of an oral formulation of risperidone to be taken daily over 12 months by children and adolescents with conduct and other disruptive behavior disorders. It is an extension of a randomized, double-blind study (RIS-INT-79) comparing risperidone with placebo over 6 months in patients who had already shown response to the medication for a period of 12 weeks. Efficacy assessments include: the Conduct Problem subscale of the Nisonger Child Behavior Rating Form (N-CBRF), a measure of symptoms of conduct and other disruptive behavior disorders; Visual Analogue Scale for the most troublesome symptom (VAS-MS), a scale ranging from not troublesome to extremely troublesome; Clinical Global Impression-Severity of Illness (CGI-Severity), a measure of overall severity of illness; Children's Global Assessment Scale (C-GAS), as assessment overall functioning. Safety evaluations include incidence of adverse events, physical examinations, laboratory tests (biochemistry, hematology, and urinalysis), and electrocardiograms (ECGs). Oral risperidone solution (1milligram/milliliter) daily for 1year. For patients weighing at least 50kg, start dose is 0.5ml/day. At investigator's discretion, dose may be increased (maximum 1.5ml/d over 5 days). Patients under 50kg start at 0.25ml/d, increased, if required, to maximum 0.75ml/d.

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

5 years to 17 years (Child)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients must have completed the double-blind study (CR002020)
  • Patients must begin the present study within 7 days of taking the last dose of medication in the prior study (CR002020)

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with hypersensitivity or intolerance to risperidone
  • Patients with extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) not adequately controlled with medication
  • History of neuroleptic malignant syndrome, a rare psychotropic-drug reaction, which may be characterized by confusion, reduced consciousness, high fever or pronounced muscle stiffness
  • Significant and untreated or unstable medical illness such as diabetes, hypertension
  • serious illness of the liver, kidney, or significant disturbances of the cardiac, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, endocrine, neurological system
  • Pregnant or nursing females, or those lacking adequate contraception

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
To accumulate long-term safety data: incidence of adverse events and clinical evaluations (physical exam, laboratory tests) conducted throughout the trial.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
To asses long-term efficacy data: changes from baseline to 1 year in Conduct Problem subscale of N-CBRF; VAS-MS changes from baseline through 1 year; CGI-Severity subscale at every visit; C-GAS rated for global functioning at the endpoint.
