What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ZiprasidoneDrug

    Also called Geodon, Zeldox

    Period 1: Initial dose of oral ziprasidone suspension 20 mg twice daily, which was titrated up in 20 mg twice daily increments to a maximum dose of 80 mg twice daily by Day 10.

    Period 2: patients could switch to oral capsules or remain on oral suspension; doses were flexibly titrated to between 10 and 80 mg twice daily based on the individual needs of the patient as determined by the investigator; concomitant antidepressants and/or mood stabilizers were allowed during Period 2 but not Period 1.

  • ZiprasidoneDrug

    Also called Geodon, Zeldox

    Period 1: Initial dose of oral ziprasidone suspension 10 mg twice daily, which was titrated up in 10 mg twice daily increments to a maximum dose of 40 mg twice daily by Day 10.

    Period 2: patients could switch to oral capsules or remain on oral suspension; doses were flexibly titrated to between 10 and 80 mg twice daily based on the individual needs of the patient as determined by the investigator; concomitant antidepressants and/or mood stabilizers were allowed during Period 2 but not Period 1.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ziprasidone in people with Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder, run by Pfizer's Upjohn has merged with Mylan to form Viatris Inc. at 17 sites in United States.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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 21 Feb 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 17 sites in United States. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Adverse events at Baseline, Day 4, and Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12, 18, and 27. (time frame: 27 weeks). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 21 Feb 2021.
