Study groupRoleWhat they receive
GERAll patients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or major depressive disorder treated with Seroquel® or Seroquel® XR seen by general practitioners and psychiatrists in Germany based upon patient encounters recorded in IMS Disease Analyzer during the calendar period 13 February 2012 - 31 August 2012
UKAll patients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or major depressive disorder treated with Seroquel® or Seroquel® XR seen by general practitioners in the United Kingdom based upon patient encounters recorded in IMS Disease Analyzer during the calendar period from 11 January 2012 - 31 July 2012

What is being measured

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

  1. Determination whether physicians in the UK and Germany perform monitoring of patients treated with Seroquel® and Seroquel® XR including measurement of the following during patient encounters: weight at drug initiation and over the course of treatment.

    Measured: Over 6 months following the distribution of metabolic educational materials in the country

  2. Monitoring of hyperlipidemia during patient encounters.

    Measured: Over 6 months following the distribution of metabolic educational materials in the country

  3. Monitoring for signs and symptoms of hyperglycemia during patient encounters.

    Measured: Over 6 months following the distribution of metabolic educational materials in the country

  4. Monitoring of blood glucose in patients with diabetes; monitoring of patients with risk factors for diabetes for worsening of glycemic control during patient encounters.

    Measured: Over 6 months following the distribution of metabolic educational materials in the country

  5. Counseling patients on healthy eating, exercise and healthy lifestyle improvements during patient encounters.

    Measured: Over 6 months following the distribution of metabolic educational materials in the country

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder, run by AstraZeneca.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 28 Jan 2014. 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.

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?

Determination whether physicians in the UK and Germany perform monitoring of patients treated with Seroquel® and Seroquel® XR including measurement of the following during patient encounters: weight at drug initiation and over the course of treatment. (time frame: Over 6 months following the distribution of metabolic educational materials in the country). The study lists 5 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 28 Jan 2014.
