Trial Outcomes & Findings for Psychosocial Therapy and Risperidone Treatment in Work Performance in Recent-Onset Schizophrenia (NCT NCT00333177)

NCT ID: NCT00333177

Last Updated: 2020-03-26

Results Overview

Values presented here are the changes in MCCB Overall Composite T scores from baseline to 12 months, with higher values representing better outcome. Raw test scores are used to generate T-scores and then the seven MCCB domains are combined to generate an Overall Composite T score. MCCB Overall Composite T scores have a mean in the general population of 50 with a standard deviation of 10. Thus, a positive change of 5 T scores is an improvement of half a standard deviation.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Measured at baseline and 12 months

Population: All participants with MCCB outcome data.

Values presented here are the changes in MCCB Overall Composite T scores from baseline to 12 months, with higher values representing better outcome. Raw test scores are used to generate T-scores and then the seven MCCB domains are combined to generate an Overall Composite T score. MCCB Overall Composite T scores have a mean in the general population of 50 with a standard deviation of 10. Thus, a positive change of 5 T scores is an improvement of half a standard deviation.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Averaged over study participation (up to 12 months)

Population: A priori hypothesis was that long-acting injectable risperidone would result in better medication adherence than oral risperidone, so CT and HBT groups were merged within each medication administration condition.

5-point scale (1 = best adherence, 5= nonadherent) based on pill counts, Medication Event Monitoring System (MEMS) cap readings, plasma assays, and psychiatrist judgements for oral risperidone and timing of injections for long-acting injectable risperidone. Averaged over medication study participation.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to 1 year

Population: This measure could be rated only for individuals who were in school or working at baseline and at 12 months, so it proved not to be useful due to the infrequent return to school or work by baseline.

Change in rating on quality of work/school performance based on patient, employer, and/or teacher reports. The Quality of Work rating at baseline was subtracted from the same rating at 12 mos. Higher scores are better outcome.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Occurence after randomization and until end of study participation (up to 12 mos.)

Population: A priori hypothesis was that RLAI would lead to fewer psychotic exacerbations/relapses than Oral Ris. No effect of CT vs. HBT was hypothesized, so CT and HBT conditions were merged within each medication administration condition.

Dichotomous measure: Presence of any of 3 psychotic relapse or exacerbation categories scored from the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) occurring after randomization and until end of study participation (up to 12 months post baseline). BPRS was administered every two weeks throughout study participation.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 months

Population: All participants who received Individual Placement and Support

Days after randomization that a participant continued to receive at least the assigned CT or HBT psychosocial treatment. If a participant needed to end the assigned medication condition (RLAI vs. Oral Ris), they continued in the psychosocial treatment so this outcome focused on the days in the assigned psychosocial treatment. Possible range is 1 to 365, with higher being a better outcome.

Timeframe: Baseline to 12 months

Population: Participants in school or jobs at baseline and 12 months, which allows change in Work Personality Profile ratings to be assessed.

The Work Motivation scale is a factor score from the Work Personality Profile. The Work Personality Profile is a set of ratings based on interviewing the participant. Scores at each occasion can range from 8 to 32, with higher indicating better motivation. Scores reported here are changes from baseline to 12 months, which could range from -24 to 24 with higher being better.
