About this study

This study aims to screen and validate multi-scale bio-markers for early diagnosis and medication monitoring for early schizophrenia, including the genetic, neurobiochemistry, neuroimaging and eletrophysiological measures. Based on the validated bio-markers, the present study further tries to build several prediction models for early differential diagnosis of schizophrenia from healthy controls and other mental diseases (such as the major depression and anxiety disorders), biological sub-typing and diagnosis of the schizophrenia sub-types, and early prediction of the medication effects.

Read the detailed description

Schizophrenia is one of the most important diseases that threaten the health of Chinese people. In view of the current lack of objective biological markers in the diagnosis and treatment of schizophrenia, as well as the lack of effective early diagnosis methods and curative effect prediction methods, the investigators carried out joint research by integrating research teams from molecular genetics, neurobiochemistry, psychiatry, medical imaging, information science and other fields. The overall objective of the project is to establish a bio-marker system for individualized diagnosis and treatment of early schizophrenia. Specific research contents include: screening and verifying multidimensional objective biological markers such as genetics, neurobiochemistry, neuroimaging, electrophysiology, which is related to early diagnosis and efficacy prediction of schizophrenia through big data analysis of healthy controls and patients with first episode schizophrenia, depression and anxiety disorder. Pattern recognition method is used to build the individualized early diagnosis model, biological sub-type clustering model, biological sub-type individualized diagnosis model and early curative effect prediction model of schizophrenia. Based on the individualized diagnosis and treatment prediction model of schizophrenia, the individualized diagnosis and treatment toolkit was developed, and the individualized diagnosis and treatment prediction cloud platform was established to provide assist for clinicians.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT03790085
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
RisperidoneExperimentalIt can be used after schizophrenia is diagnosed. Risperidone affects prolactin and may affect menstruation in young women, so we will try not to use it in such patients. Patients were randomized to a single Risperidone control trial for 8 weeks to evaluate the clinical efficacy of the patients. Risperidone routine daily 2-6 mg, up to 8 mg, can be taken orally twice a day.
Receives: Drug: Risperidone
OlanzapineExperimentalIt can be used after schizophrenia is diagnosed. Olanzapine is not generally used in patients with diabetes and hyperlipidemia. Patients were randomized to a single Olanzapine control trial for 8 weeks to evaluate the clinical efficacy of the patients. Olanzapine is available once or twice a day, starting at 5 mg daily and up to 20 mg daily.
Receives: Drug: Olanzapine
AripiprazoleExperimentalIt can be used after schizophrenia is diagnosed. Aripiprazole has no specific contraindications. Patients were randomized to a single Aripiprazole control trial for 8 weeks to evaluate the clinical efficacy of the patients. Aripiprazole is taken orally once a day, starting at 10 mg daily and up to 30 mg daily.
Receives: Drug: Aripiprazole

What is being measured

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

  1. Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS)

    It is a scale involved and standardized for assessing the severity of symptoms of different types of schizophrenia. Of the 30 items included in the PANSS, 7 constitute a Positive Scale, 7 a Negative Scale, and the remaining 16 a General Psychopathology Scale. Each of the 30 items is accompanied by a specific definition as well as detailed anchoring criteria for all seven rating points. The scores for these scales are arrived at by summation of ratings across component items. These seven points represent increasing levels of psychopathology, as follows: 1- absent, 2- minimal, 3-mild, 4-moderate, 5-moderate severe, 6-severe, 7-extreme. Therefore, the potential ranges are 7 to 49 for the Positive and Negative Scales, and 16 to 112 for the General Psychopathology Scale. A rating of 7 (extreme) refers to the most serious level of psychopathology in each item, so the higher the score is, the more serious the physical level is.

    Measured: 30-45 minutes

  2. Clinical Global Impression(CGI)

    the CGI is a 3-item observer-rated scale that measures illness severity (CGIS), global improvement or change (CGIC) and therapeutic response.The CGI is rated on a 7-point scale, with the severity of illness scale using a range of responses from 1 (normal) through to 7 (amongst the most severely ill patients).CGI-C scores range from 1 (very much improved) through to 7 (very much worse). Treatment response ratings should take account of both therapeutic efficacy and treatment-related adverse events and range from 0 (marked improvement and no side-effects) and 4 (unchanged or worse and side-effects outweigh the therapeutic effects). Each component of the CGI is rated separately; the instrument does not yield a global score.

    Measured: 10-15 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Risperidone, Olanzapine and Aripiprazole in people with Schizophrenia and Major Depressive Disorder, run by Tianjin Medical University General Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 12 inclusion and 5 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 31 Dec 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 China. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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 Chunshui Yu, MD (862260363760, chunshuiyu@vip.163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) (time frame: 30-45 minutes). 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 NCT03790085, which also lists 8 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 31 Dec 2018.
