Mirror-image Study of Paliperidone Palmitate and Risperidone Long-acting Injection

December 28, 2017 updated by: Michael Kemp, Réseau de Santé Vitalité Health Network

Mirror-image Study Exploring Relapse and Resource Utilization of Paliperidone Palmitate and Risperidone Long-acting Injection in Vitalité Health Network Patients

The primary objective of this single-center multi-site retrospective chart review is to determine if paliperidone palmitate and/or risperidone long-acting injection can decrease the number of psychiatric relapses following their initiation in an inpatient acute psychiatric unit compared to oral antipsychotic therapy and determine if one treatment is superior to the other in this regard. This study will utilize a mirror-image design and incorporate up to a 3 years of follow-up following the index admission. Secondary objectives of this study will be to determine the change in hospital resource utilization for psychiatric reasons following treatment initiation, and to determine the difference in time to relapse.

Study Overview

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

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

18 years to 65 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients initiated on long-acting injectable anipsychotics from the regional hospitals under the direction of the Vitalité health network.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients who were initiated on either Risperidone long-acting injection or Paliperidone palmitate during an acute psychiatric admission for schizophrenia or other psychotic related disorders.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients who had their long-acting injection stopped prior to the discharge date of their index admission.
  • Patients who received a long-acting injection in the year prior to the index admission.
  • Patients who had a psychiatric admission to a forensic, rehabilitation or high dependency unit during the observation period prior to or following their index admission.

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
Psychiatric Relapse
Time Frame: up to 3 years
Hospitalizations will be used as a proxy for relapse and the primary endpoint will be the number of hospital admissions following the discharge date of the index admission for up to 3 years compared to an equivalent timeframe prior to the beginning of the index admission (and including the 1st day of the index admission). Patients will be considered eligible for the primary objective after 3 months of continued long-acting injection treatment.
up to 3 years

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
Hospital Resource utilization for psychiatric reasons
Time Frame: up to 3 years
Number of ER visits for psychiatric reasons, number of days admitted in hospital for psychiatric reasons.
up to 3 years
Time to relapse
Time Frame: up to 3 years
time following discharge of index admission until the subsequent admission for psychiatric reasons (in days); time following discharge of index admission until the subsequent ER visit for psychiatric reasons (in days).
up to 3 years

For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
