About this study

Official title: 12 Week Open Label, Multicenter, Non-Comparative Switch Study Evaluating Efficacy, Tolerability And Safety Of Oral Ziprasidone In Treatment Of Patients Suffering From Schizophrenia Who Have Already Been Treated With An Other Antipsychotic.

There has been evidence that ziprasidone is efficacious in decreasing the magnitude of both positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia, and also effective in the treatment of depressive symptoms. It shows good tolerance with low incidence of extrapyramidal side effects and does not significantly influence body weight. As it has been shown that ziprasidone is efficacious and safe in patients who have been pretreated with other antipsychotic that has to be withdrawn either due to the side effects or not satisfied efficacy. The purpose of the study was to provide further evidence for the efficacy and safety of patients with schizophrenia and allow for psychiatrists in Hungary to gain experience with the drug before wide commercial availability.

Read the detailed description

Study was terminated due to difficulty in enrolling the targeted number of patients on March 1, 2005, last subject last visit date was Feb.16, 2005. There were no safety concerns involved in the decision to terminate the trial.

  1. Efficacy- To assess the syndromes of the psychosis expressed as the PANSS total score

  2. Safety- Incidence and severity of the side effects

Secondary outcomes (4)

  2. To evaluate the influence on the body weight change.

  3. To assess the subject's view on the treatment with ziprasidone

  4. To assess the subject's antidepressive efficacy by Calgary and Hamilton depression scales
