Trial summary

Antipsychotic drugs are characterized by blocking dopaminergic D2 receptors. They have been found to be effective and safe for the treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar disorders, depressive episodes associated with bipolar disorder, or psychotic symptoms in the context of Parkinson's disease.

About this study

Antipsychotic drugs are characterized by blocking dopaminergic D2 receptors. They have been found to be effective and safe for the treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar disorders, depressive episodes associated with bipolar disorder, or psychotic symptoms in the context of Parkinson's disease. Atypical antipsychotics have lower blocking potency on D2 receptors, at the time that interact with serotoninergic, adrenergic and histaminergic receptors, among others. Quetiapine extended-release has the same clinical efficacy as the immediate-release formulation, but reduces the amount of daily doses, possibly contributing to increased treatment adherence.

The purpose of this registry is to explore adherence to treatment, the occurrence of adverse drug reactions and the clinical outcomes in a sample of patients under treatment with atypical antipsychotics in several Central American countries. For this study, clinical data will be extracted from the medical records of 1000 patients with schizophrenia, depressive disorders or Parkinson's Disease with hallucinations. Occurrence of adverse drug reactions, namely weight gain, somnolence, extrapyramidal reactions and symptoms of orthostatic hypotension; adherence to treatment; and changes in quality of life and clinical status will be assessed during the first 8 weeks of treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Schizophrenia and Major Depressive Disorder, run by Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina.

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 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 20 Oct 2015. 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?

Occurrence of Adverse Drug Reactions (time frame: 8 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02409823, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 Oct 2015.
