Guided Dose Reduction of Antipsychotic in Patients With Psychosis in Remitted States (GDR)

9. august 2017 oppdatert av: National Taiwan University Hospital

Impact of Guided Antipsychotic Dose Reduction in Patients With Psychosis Under Remitted States: a Randomized Control Trial and Prospective Follow-up Study

A 2-year prospective observational study comparing a group of patients in remitted states of psychosis undergoing guided antipsychotic dose reduction to a similar group of patients under maintenance antipsychotic treatment with the main outcome of interest that if the rates of relapse of psychosis between these two groups will be different.

Detaljert beskrivelse

Early intervention at the beginning of schizophrenia and related psychotic disorders can get better treatment response. Once symptoms subsided, the majority of patients wish to discontinue medications, yet currently the mainstream opinions still recommend maintenance antipsychotic therapy because non-adherence to medication is the most significant risk factor to predict a relapse. However, recent longitudinal studies assessing patients in community for a longer term found that their functioning is not necessarily poorer despite not regularly treated with antipsychotics. Also there are studies suggesting a lower percentage of dopamine occupancy by antipsychotic is acceptable in stable patients with psychosis. To elucidate such discrepancies, a hypothetical compromised approach "guided dose reduction, but not aiming at discontinuation"is proposed. In this study, we will recruit outpatients with schizophrenia related psychotic disorders under remitted states, randomize into guided dose reduction group (GDR, n = 80) and maintenance treatment group (MTG), including those who willing to have dose reduction but assigned to maintenance group (MTG1, n = 40) and those who willing to continue medication serving as naturalistic observation group (MTG2, n = 40), and follow up for at least 2 years. The main outcomes of interests are differences in relapse rates, personal social performance, quality of life, drug-related adverse reactions, medication satisfaction, and neurocognitive function between groups.We will also have patients to keep logs of medication status, blood tests for therapeutic drug monitoring, biochemistry, and potential biomarkers, as well as take into account demographic variables such as age, gender, education, employment status, and supportive system, and clinical variables such as age of onset, duration of illness, history of psychiatric admission, the highest and the lowest doses of antipsychotics during previous treatment, the number of different antipsychotics having being tried before, if a history of impending relapse during tapering down dose of antipsychotics, and concomitant psychotropic agents, to test whether these variables are related to outcomes during follow-up. Hopefully we can identify a satisfactory and balanced solution between improving patient's psychosocial and neurocognitive outcomes and prevention of relapse by redefining the role of antipsychotics.
