About this study
Official title: Risperidone Depot (Microspheres) in the Treatment of Subjects With Schizophrenia or Schizoaffective Disorder - an Open-label Follow-up Trial of RIS-INT-62 and RIS-INT-85.
The purpose of this study is to document the long-term safety of 25, 37.5, or 50 mg long-acting injectable risperidone given via injection to the gluteal muscle every 2 weeks to subjects with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder.
Read the detailed description
Noncompliance in taking medication is very common among people with schizophrenia, and is a frequent cause of relapse of symptoms. A long-acting injectable formulation that ensures slow but steady release of risperidone over a period of several weeks would eliminate the need to take medication on a daily basis, and improve compliance. This is an open-label, international, multicenter study in subjects with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder who completed the risperidone microspheres arm of study RIS-INT-62, or who completed study RIS-INT-85, or who dropped out of the risperidone microspheres arm of study RIS-INT-62 due to treatment with 75 mg long-acting injectable risperidone. Patients have to begin this study within 7 days of the final visit in the RIS-INT-62 or RIS-INT-85 studies. The end point visit of the RIS-INT-62 or RIS-INT-85 study serves as the first visit of this open-label study. Patients can start this study on the same dose as the last risperidone microsphere injection that they received in the previous study, or at a dose that was 12.5 mg lower or higher than the previously received dose. Patients who received 75 mg risperidone microsphere injection during study RIS-INT-62 can continue on this dose but an attempt will be made to decrease the dose to 50 mg within 3 months. The total study duration is planned to be at least 1 year or until approval of long-acting injectable risperidone in the respective country. The study hypothesis is that treatment with the long-acting injectable formulation of risperidone every 2 weeks for at least 1 year will be safe and well tolerated, as assessed by adverse event reporting, the extrapyramidal symptom rating scale, laboratory tests, vital signs measurements, physical examinations, body weight measurements, electrocardiograms, and injection site evaluations. Patients will receive injections of risperidone depot microspheres (25, 37.5, 50, or 75 mg) in their gluteal muscle at 2-weekly intervals for at least 1 year.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing risperidone in people with Schizophrenia and Schizoaffective Disorder, run by Janssen, LP.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 May 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
To document the long-term safety of 25, 37.5 and 50 mg long-acting injectable risperidone from baseline until study end point.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 May 2011.
