A Study Comparing Rapid Acting Intramuscular Olanzapine and Placebo in Agitated Patients With Schizophrenia

August 26, 2009 updated by: Eli Lilly and Company

A Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind Confirmatory Study of Rapid-Acting Intramuscular Olanzapine in Agitated Patients With Schizophrenia

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline to 2 Hours Post the First Intramuscular (IM) Injection in Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale-Excited Component (PANSS-EC)
Time Frame: 2 hours post first intramuscular (IM) injection
Measures excitability and consists of the following 5 items from the PANSS: Excitement, Hostility, Tension, Uncooperativeness, and Poor Impulse Control. Each item is rated on a scale from 1 (Absent) to 7 (Extreme). The sum of the 5 items is defined as the PANSS-EC total score which ranges from 5 to 35.
2 hours post first intramuscular (IM) injection

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline to Each Timepoint in Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale-Excited Component (PANSS-EC)
Time Frame: 15 min, 30 min, 60 min, 90 min post first IM injection
Measures excitability and consists of the following 5 items from the PANSS: Excitement, Hostility, Tension, Uncooperativeness, and Poor Impulse Control. Each item is rated on a scale from 1 (Absent) to 7 (Extreme). The sum of the 5 items is defined as the PANSS-EC total score which ranges from 5 to 35.
15 min, 30 min, 60 min, 90 min post first IM injection
Number of Responders at 2 Hours After First Intramuscular (IM) Injection
Time Frame: 2 hours post first IM injection
A responder was defined ast he patient with ≥ 40% decrease in the PANSS-EC total score at 2 hours after the first IM injection in comparison with baseline. (See outcome measure 1 for description of PANSS-EC).
2 hours post first IM injection
Number of Participants With Scores of 4 to 7 in the Agitation-Calmness Evaluation Scale (ACES) at Each Timepoint
Time Frame: 30 min, 60 min, 90 min and 2 hours post first IM injection
The ACES differentiates agitation, calmness, and sleep-state, using a 9-point scale: 1 (Marked Agitation) to 9 (Unarousable). Scores of 4 (Normal) to 7 (Marked Calmness) were used for this outcome measure.
30 min, 60 min, 90 min and 2 hours post first IM injection
