What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Abbreviated Extrapyramidal Symptom Rating Scale (ESRS-A) Scores (Cohorts 1 and 2) at Day 10

    ESRS-A is a clinician rated scale consisting of 24 items to assess severity of extrapyramidal symptoms for following parameters: parkinsonism (10 items), dystonia (6 items), dyskinesia (6 items) and akathisia (2 items). Each item was scored on a 6-point scale (0=absent, 1=minimal, 2=mild, 3=moderate, 4=severe, 5=extreme). Additionally, 4 Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S) items were assessed on a 7-point scale (1=normal, not ill at all; 2=borderline mentally ill; 3=mildly ill; 4=moderately ill; 5=markedly ill; 6=severely ill; 7=extremely ill): CGI-S parkinsonism; CGI-S dystonia; CGI-S dyskinesia; CGI-S akathisia.

    Measured: Day 0 (Baseline) up to Day 10

  2. Change From Baseline in ESRS-A Scores (Cohort 3) at Day 18

    ESRS-A is a clinician rated scale consisting of 24 items to assess severity of extrapyramidal symptoms for following parameters: parkinsonism (10 items), dystonia (6 items), dyskinesia (6 items) and akathisia (2 items). Each item is scored on a 6-point Likert scale (0=absent, 1=minimal, 2=mild, 3=moderate, 4=severe, 5=extreme). Additionally, 4 CGI-S items were assessed on a 7-point scale (1=normal, not ill at all; 2=borderline mentally ill; 3=mildly ill; 4=moderately ill; 5=markedly ill; 6=severely ill; 7=extremely ill): CGI-S parkinsonism; CGI-S dystonia; CGI-S dyskinesia; CGI-S akathisia.

    Measured: Day 0 (Baseline) up to Day 18

  3. Number of Participants With Response to Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) (Cohorts 1 and 2) at Baseline (Day 0)

    Data relevant to the assessment of suicidality was mapped to the Columbia-Classification Algorithm of Suicide Assessment (C-CASA) event codes. C-SSRS assessed whether participant experienced following: completed suicide (Event code 1), suicide attempt (Event code 2) (Response of "Yes" on "actual attempt"), preparatory acts toward imminent suicidal behavior (Event code 3) ("Yes" on "aborted attempt", "interrupted attempt", "preparatory acts or behavior"), suicidal ideation (Event code 4) ("Yes" on "wish to be dead", "non-specific active suicidal thoughts", "active suicidal ideation with methods without intent to act/some intent to act without specific plan or with specific plan and intent), self-injurious behavior, no suicidal intent (Event code 7) ("Yes" on "Has participant engaged in non-suicidal self-injurious behavior"). Number of participants with "Yes" response for above mentioned categories were assessed.

    Measured: Day 0 (Baseline)

  4. Number of Participants With Response to C-SSRS (Cohorts 1 and 2) at Day 11

    Data relevant to the assessment of suicidality was mapped to the C-CASA event codes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing PF-02545920 in people with Schizophrenia, run by Pfizer at 1 site 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 3 inclusion and 3 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 20 Aug 2018. 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 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. 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 20 Aug 2018). 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 Abbreviated Extrapyramidal Symptom Rating Scale (ESRS-A) Scores (Cohorts 1 and 2) at Day 10 (time frame: Day 0 (Baseline) up to Day 10). The study lists 30 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 20 Aug 2018.
