About this study

Official title: A 16-Week, Multicenter, Randomized, Open-label Study to Assess the Effects of Aripiprazole Versus Other Atypical Antipsychotics in the Treatment of Schizophrenic Patients With Metabolic Syndrome

Being tested
Aripiprazole, Continued Antipsychotic (Risperidone or Quetiapine or Olanzapine)

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Mean Percent Change From Baseline in Fasting Non-high Density Lipoprotein (HDL) Cholesterol at Week 16

    Non-HDL cholesterol was calculated as fasting Total Cholesterol minus fasting HDL Cholesterol.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 16

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Number of Participants Remaining on Metabolic Syndrome at Week 16

    Metabolic syndrome is defined as the presence of at least 3 out of the following Adult Treatment Panel III-A (ATP III-A) criteria (all of which are to be assessed at the same visit): waist >102 cm in males, >88 cm in females; blood pressure (BP) systolic BP ≥130 or diastolic BP ≥85 mm Hg; fasting HDL <40 mg/dL in males, <50 mg/dL in females; fasting triglycerides ≥150 mg/dL; fasting glucose ≥100 mg/dL, and/or the start of a treatment for any of the parameters of metabolic syndrome during the course of the study.

    Measured: Week 16

  2. Mean Percent Change From Baseline in Fasting Lipid Parameters Through Week 16

    Mean percent change from baseline in total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), HDL, and triglycerides.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12, Week 16

  3. Mean Change From Baseline for Fasting Glucose Levels Through Week 16

    Measured: Baseline, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12, Week 16

  4. Mean Change From Baseline in Body Weight Through Week 16

    Measured: Baseline, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12, Week 16

  5. Median Change From Baseline in Body Mass Index (BMI) Through Week 16

    Measured: Baseline, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12, Week 16

  6. Mean Change From Baseline in Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) Scale Through Week 16

    A CGI-S assessment (a 7-point scale to evaluate the severity of symptoms) was performed at baseline (1=normal; 7=among the most extremely ill patients). A decrease in value indicates improvement.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12, Week 16

  7. Mean Change From Baseline in Subjective Well-Being Under Neuroleptics Scale (SWN-short Form) Through Week 16

    The SWN-short form is a 20-item self-report instrument that measures subjective well-being under neuroleptics. 10 positive and 10 negative items cover 5 health domains (subscales) (4 items each): emotional regulation, self-control, mental functioning, social integration, and physical functioning. Individual scores range from 1 (not at all) to 6 (very much). With negative item scores being reversed, Subscale scores range from 4 to 24 and Total score ranges from 20 to 120.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 4, Week 8,Week 12, Week 16

  8. Mean Change From Baseline in the Impact of Weight on Quality of Life (IWQoL-Lite) Scale Through Week 16

    IWQoL-Lite is a 31-item self-report inventory to assess the impact of weight on quality of life among patients with obesity. Subscales include: Physical Function, Self Esteem, Sexual Life, Public Distress and Work. The rescaled IWQoL-Lite Total Score is determined by the sum of the 1 to 5 scores on all 31 items and rescaling this sum to a 0-100 scoring with 0=the poorest and 100=the best quality of life. A change of 7.8 to 12.0 points on the rescaled IWQoL-Lite Total Score=a meaningful improvement. A change of -4.5 to -7.6 on the rescaled IWQoL-Lite Total Score=a meaningful deterioration.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12, Week 16

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Aripiprazole and Continued Antipsychotic (Risperidone or Quetiapine or Olanzapine) in people with Metabolic Syndrome and Schizophrenia, run by Bristol-Myers Squibb at 30 sites in 9 countries.

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 0 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Dec 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 30 sites in Czechia, France, Spain, Germany, Greece and 4 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 Jul 2010). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Mean Percent Change From Baseline in Fasting Non-high Density Lipoprotein (HDL) Cholesterol at Week 16 (time frame: Baseline, Week 16). 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 13 Dec 2013.
