June 24, 2014 updated by: Janssen Korea, Ltd., Korea

An Open-label, Prospective, Randomized and Comparative Study of Patient Satisfaction Between Continued Administration of Previous Antipsychotics Versus Switched Administration to Paliperidone ER in Non-satisfied Patients With Previous Antipsychotic Drug

The purpose of this study is to compare the patient satisfaction between continued administration of previous antipsychotics versus switched administration to paliperidone ER in non-satisfied patients with previous (paliperidone)

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 a randomized (patients are assigned to intervention by chance), prospective, open-label (all people involved know the identity of the assigned drug), switch study designed to evaluate patient-assessed medication satisfaction after 12 weeks of treatment in patients with schizophrenia. The total duration of this study is 12 weeks. Outpatients who treated atypical antipsychotics and report dissatisfaction (Medication Satisfaction Questionnaire [MSQ] <4) with their current treatment response are eligible to participate in the study. Patients will be randomized into two groups, 1) Patients randomized to an immediate initiation of paliperidone ER for a total 12 weeks 2) Patients randomized to a delayed initiation will continue their previous atypical antipsychotics for 8 weeks and then be initiated on paliperidone ER at Day 56 for 4 weeks. During the study treatment optimization will be done by dose adjustment (dose increase or decrease) and by adding psychotropic agents except the antipsychotics.

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.

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.

EXPERIMENTAL: Paliperidone ER
Immediate initiation of Paliperidone ER for a total of 12 weeks
Drug: Paliperdidone ER
Form = osmotic release oral system, route = oral
EXPERIMENTAL: Antipsychotics and paliperidone ER
Delayed initiation included previous atypical antipsychotics for 8 weeks and then be initiated on paliperidone ER at Day 56 for 4 weeks. The atypical antipsychotics includes aripiprazole, olanzapine and risperidone. These antipsychotics belongs to the class of second generation bipolar atypical antipsychotics.

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 in the medication satisfaction questionnaire (MSQ) score at Week 8
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 8
A single-item, global, patient-completed instrument that is read aloud to patients by clinicians designed to assess treatment satisfaction among patients with schizophrenia. It consists of one question: "Overall, how satisfied are you with your current antipsychotic medication(s)?" with responses assessed on a 7-point scale rated as follows: 1 = extremely dissatisfied, 2=very dissatisfied, 3=somewhat dissatisfied, 4=neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, 5=somewhat satisfied, 6 = very satisfied, 7 = extremely satisfied
Baseline and Week 8

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
Positive and negative symptoms scale (PANSS) score
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 12
The PANSS provides a total score (sum of the scores of all 30 items) and scores for 3 subscales, the positive subscale (7 items), the negative subscale (7 items), and the general psychopathology subscale (16 items), each rated on a scale of 1 (absent) to 7 (extreme). It's designed to capture symptoms of schizophrenia. (Gold standard)
Baseline to Week 12
Drug Attitude Inventory (DAI)-10 Score
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 12
DAI-10 is a 10-item scale developed to assess how the attitude of schizophrenia patients toward their medications may affect compliance (-10~+10)
Baseline to Week 12
Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) Score
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 12
The CGI-S rating scale is used to rate the severity of a patient's psychotic condition on a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (not ill) to 7 (extremely severe)
Baseline to Week 12
Personal and Social Performance Scale (PSP)
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 12
This scale assesses the degree of dysfunction a patient exhibits within 4 domains of behavior: socially useful activities, personal and social relationships, self-care, and disturbing and aggressive behavior. The score ranges from 1 to 100, divided into 10 equal intervals to rate the degree of difficulty (i, absent to vi, very severe) in each of the 4 domains. Based on the four domains there will be one total score. Patient's with a score of 71 to 100 have a mild degree of difficulty; from 31 to 70, varying degrees of disability; ≤ 30, functioning so poorly as to require intensive supervision
Baseline to Week 12
Sleep Visual Analog Scale (Sleep VAS)
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 12
This self-administered scale rates quality of sleep and daytime drowsiness. Patient's will indicate on an 11- point scale (from 0 to 10) how well they have slept in the previous 7 days ("very badly" to "very well") and how often they have felt drowsy within the previous 7 days ("not at all" to "all the time"). On the sleep evaluation scale, score '0' corresponds to 'very badly' and score '10' to 'very well'. On the daytime drowsiness scale, score '0' corresponds to 'not at all' and score '10' to 'all the time
Baseline to Week 12
Number of patients with adverse events
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 12
Baseline to Week 12
Number of patients with vital signs and physical examination
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 12
Baseline to Week 12
Number of patients with laboratory test (prolactin, blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, cholesterol, triglyceride)
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 12
Baseline to Week 12
