Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety And Efficacy Of Ziprasidone In Adolescents With Schizophrenia (NCT NCT00257192)

NCT ID: NCT00257192

Last Updated: 2021-03-25

Results Overview

BPRS-A: 18-item clinician rated scale to assess somatic concern, anxiety, emotional withdrawal, disorganization, hallucinatory behavior, guilt feelings, suspiciousness, disorientation, tension, mannerisms, posturing, grandiosity, depressive mood, hostility, motor retardation, uncooperativeness, unusual thought content, blunted affect, and excitement. Ratings anchored to improve consistency for a single rater over time or between raters. Items rated on 7-point scale 0 (not present) to 6 (extremely severe). Total score=sum of items (range 0 to 108); higher scores indicate increased pathology.

Participant Flow

A planned interim analysis resulted in recommendation from Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) to terminate study due to futility per the interim analysis charter (p-value = 0.9840). Only one active subject in the study was affected by this decision.

Screening visit followed by a 1 to 10 day period to allow for wash-out of exclusionary medications.

Ziprasidone
Oral (PO) capsules administered twice daily (BID) with meals; titrated from a starting dose of 20 milligrams per day (mg/day) over 2 weeks with dose increases of 20 mg/day every second day up to a target dose range of 120 to 160 mg/day for subjects with body weight ≥ 45 kilograms (kg); target dose for subjects with body weight \< 45 kg is 60 to 80 mg/day. After titration dose is attained, flexible dosing range of 80 to 160 (if body weight ≥ 45 kg) or 40 to 80 mg/day (if body weight \< 45 kg) for duration of the study.
Placebo
Placebo matching ziprasidone administration: PO capsules administered BID) with meals; titrated from a starting dose of 20 mg/day over 2 weeks with dose increases of 20 mg/day every second day up to a target dose range of 120 to 160 mg/day for subjects with body weight ≥ 45 kg; target dose for subjects with body weight \< 45 kg is 60 to 80 mg/day. After titration dose is attained, flexible dosing range of 80 to 160 (if body weight ≥ 45 kg) or 40 to 80 mg/day (if body weight \< 45 kg) for duration of the study.

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 6

Population: Intent to treat (ITT): all randomized subjects who had baseline measurements, took at least 1 dose of study medication, and had at least 1 post-baseline visit. N=number of subjects with analyzable data at post-baseline observation.

BPRS-A: 18-item clinician rated scale to assess somatic concern, anxiety, emotional withdrawal, disorganization, hallucinatory behavior, guilt feelings, suspiciousness, disorientation, tension, mannerisms, posturing, grandiosity, depressive mood, hostility, motor retardation, uncooperativeness, unusual thought content, blunted affect, and excitement.

CGAS: clinician-rated global assessment item for children based on symptoms and social functioning in home, school, and community settings. Scores on this single item range from 1 to 100 (higher levels indicate greater health) with descriptive anchors for every 10-point interval.

CHQ: 50-item, 15 subscale parent or legal guardian assessed instrument of child's physical, emotional, social well-being, and relative burden of disease on the parents; rated on Likert-type scale: range 0 to 100; higher scores indicate a more positive health status. Global indicators for Physical Health and Psychosocial Health are weighted composites derived from subscale items using scoring algorithms (transformed scores); range 0 to 100: higher scores indicate more positive health status.

Population: ITT; N=number of subjects with analyzable data at baseline; (n)= number of subjects with analyzable data at post-baseline observation for ziprasidone and placebo, respectively. LOCF imputation used for Week 6 LOCF timepoint.

CPBAQ: 19-item parent or legal guardian completed questionnaire to rate the child's verbal (such as yelling or cursing) and physical aggression (such a fighting with peers or being cruel to an animal) during the past week. Behavior was rated on a 4-point scale; range 0 (behavior did not occur or was not a problem) to 3 (behavior occurred a lot or was severe problem). Total score range 0 to 57; higher scores indicate a greater frequency and severity of aggression.

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 6, ET

Population: ITT; N=number of subjects with analyzable data at baseline; (n)= number of subjects with analyzable data at post-baseline observation for ziprasidone and placebo, respectively. ET includes observations from visits not within windowing criteria. LOCF imputation used for Week 6 LOCF timepoint (last post-baseline non-missing visit).

A computerized subject-administered test battery with subtests for verbal and visual memory, processing speed, nonverbal reasoning, executive functioning, working memory, and sustained attention. A computerized 7-point sedation item (0 \[not sleepy\] to 10 \[very sleepy\]) was completed prior to test battery. The Neurocognitive index score was derived from subtest scores per an algorithm. The index score and subtest scores assessed the subject's changes in cognition. Scores were rated as above average (score \>109), average (90 to 109), below average (80 to 89), or well below average (70 to 79).

ET includes observations from visits not within windowing criteria. LOCF imputation used for Week 6 LOCF timepoint.

School placement questionnaire: parent or legal guardian assessed questionnaire to determine whether the child is currently enrolled in school (or planned to be enrolled if on school holiday like summer break), whether attending regularly if enrolled, and how well the child is doing overall in school. Questions were modified from those used in the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) funded Treatment of Early Onset Schizophrenia Spectrum (TEOSS) study. Results determine whether subjects are currently attending school and qualitatively describe how well they are doing in school.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 2, Week 6, ET

Population: ITT; N=number of subjects analyzable for School Placement Questionnaire; (n)=number of subjects with analyzable data at baseline and post-baseline observation for ziprasidone and placebo, respectively. ET includes observations from visits not within windowing criteria. LOCF imputation used for Week 6 LOCF timepoint.

School placement questionnaire: parent or legal guardian assessed questionnaire to determine whether the child is currently enrolled in school (or planned to be enrolled if on school holiday like summer break), whether attending regularly if enrolled, and how well the child is doing overall in school. Questions were modified from those used in the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) funded Treatment of Early Onset Schizophrenia Spectrum (TEOSS) study. Results determine whether subjects are currently attending school and qualitatively describe how well they are doing in school.
