About this study

Official title: A Clinical Trial to Investigate the Factors Affecting Adverse Drug Reactions and Clinical Efficacy of Clozapine in Korean

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the factors affecting the occurrence of adverse drug reactions (glucose and lipid metabolism abnormality, changes in liver function index and sleeping tendency) and clinical effects in schizophrenia patients with clozapine treatment

Read the detailed description
  1. The baseline tests (sleeping tendency assessment, clinical symptom and cognitive assessments, clinical laboratory tests, genotyping, exploratory biomarker tests, etc.) are conducted to the schizophrenia patients before initiation of the clozapine dosing.
  2. On day 15 and 57, the changes from baseline clinical symptom and cognitive function are assessed after clozapine treatment. Also, the occurrence of adverse drug reactions are evaluated. In addition, blood sample collections are performed for the assessment of clozapine and its metabolite levels.

What participants receive

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

  • ClozapineDrug

    Also called Clozapine treatment

    Clozapine is administered orally according to individual prescribed dosing regimens.

What is being measured

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

  1. Glucose and lipid metabolism abnormality

    Change from baseline glucose and lipid profiles after clozapine administration

    Measured: Change from baseline glucose and lipid profiles on Day 15, and 57

  2. Liver function abnormality

    Change from baseline liver function test

    Measured: Change from baseline liver function test on Day 15, and 57

  3. Sleeping tendency assessment

    Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS).

    • ESS is comprised of eight questions, each asking about the subject's likelihood of dozing off or falling asleep in a particular situation that is commonly met in daily life.
    • Each ESS item score measures a particular "situational sleep propensity", and respondents use a four-point scale from 0 (no chance of dozing/falling asleep) to 3 (high chance of dozing/falling asleep) for each of the eight questions.
    • The sum of eight item scores (the total ESS score) measures the subject's average sleep propensity across those different situations in daily life. A total ESS score of 16-24 points indicates severe excessive daytime sleepiness.

    Measured: Change from baseline sleeping tendency assessment on Day 15, and 57

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Cognitive function assessment

    MCCB (MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Battery).

    Measured: Change from baseline MCCB on Day 57, and 127

  2. Clinical symptom assessment

    Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS).

    • BPRS is a 24-item scale that measures psychiatric symptoms such as depression, anxiety, hallucinations and unusual behaviour.
    • Each symptom is rated on a scale from 1(not present) to 7(extremely severe).
    • The sum of all 24 items is then calculated to a maximum score of 168. The higher the score, the more psychiatrically impaired the patient is.

    Measured: Change from baseline BPRS on Day 15, and 57

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Schizophrenia, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Sep 2019. 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 South Korea. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Euitae Kim, Ph. D. (+82-31-787-7435, euitae.kim@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Glucose and lipid metabolism abnormality (time frame: Change from baseline glucose and lipid profiles on Day 15, and 57). 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 24 Sep 2019.
