About this study

Official title: A 4-week, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Mifepristone in the Prevention of Risperidone-induced Weight Gain in Healthy Male Volunteers

This is a 28-day, single-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled inpatient study of the administration of risperidone alone or in combination with mifepristone in healthy adult male volunteers to determine the average change in absolute weight at Day 28 compared to baseline.

Read the detailed description

This is a 28-day, single-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled inpatient study of the administration of risperidone alone or in combination with mifepristone in healthy adult male volunteers. The primary study objective is to determine the mean change in absolute weight at Day 28 compared to baseline in normal healthy male volunteers treated with risperidone plus mifepristone or risperidone alone. The secondary study objectives are to determine the mean percent change in baseline body weight; and the proportion of subjects that gain less than 5% and less than 7% of their baseline body in the treatment groups.

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 7 inclusion and 10 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 8 Feb 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in India. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 4 May 2012). 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?

Change From Baseline in Body Weight (time frame: Baseline and 28 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00698022, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 8 Feb 2022.
