NCT ID: NCT00488319

Last Updated: 2017-02-10

Results Overview

A serious adverse event as defined by the International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose results in death, is life-threatening (the subject was at risk of death at the time of the even; it does not refer to an event that hypothetically might have caused death if it were more severe), requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or is a congenital anomaly/birth defect.

Participant Flow

This study evaluated the long-term (2 year) safety and tolerability of paliperidone extended release (ER) in adolescent patients with schizophrenia. This study was conducted from 27 June 2007 to 18 July 2012 at 55 centers in 10 countries. A total of 400 patients received at least 1 dose of the study drug and were included in the safety analysis.

Patients enrolled in this study came from 3 different sources: patients who enrolled directly, patients who were randomly assigned to placebo in the R076477PSZ3001 (NCT00518323) study, and patients who were randomly assigned to paliperidone ER in the R076477PSZ3001 (NCT00518323) study.

Placebo/Paliperidone
Patients in this group were previously assigned to placebo in the R076477PSZ3001 (NCT00518323) study. They started with an oral dose of 6 mg tablets daily, regardless of prior treatment assignment in R076477PSZ3001 (NCT00518323). The initial 6 mg daily dose was increased in increments of 3 mg, not more frequently than once every 5 days until the maximum dose of 12 mg daily was reached. If 12 mg was not well tolerated, then the dose could be reduced down to 9 mg daily. Alternatively the dose could be decreased to 3 mg or 1.5 mg daily, if the initial 6 mg dose was not well tolerated.
Paliperidone (Double-blind)/Paliperidone
Patients in this group were previously assigned to paliperidone extended-release in the R076477PSZ3001 (NCT00518323) study. They started with an oral dose of 6 mg tablets daily, regardless of prior treatment assignment in R076477PSZ3001 (NCT00518323). The initial 6 mg daily dose was increased in increments of 3 mg, not more frequently than once every 5 days until the maximum dose of 12 mg daily was reached. If 12 mg was not well tolerated, then the dose could be reduced down to 9 mg daily. Alternatively the dose could be decreased to 3 mg or 1.5 mg daily, if the initial 6 mg dose was not well tolerated.
Paliperidone (No Double-blind)/Paliperidone
Patients in this group were directly enrolled into the study and started with an oral dose of 6 mg tablets daily. The initial 6 mg daily dose was increased in increments of 3 mg, not more frequently than once every 5 days until the maximum dose of 12 mg daily was reached. If 12 mg was not well tolerated, then the dose could be reduced down to 9 mg daily. Alternatively the dose could be decreased to 3 mg or 1.5 mg daily, if the initial 6 mg dose was not well tolerated.

Population: The open label intent-to-treat analysis set was used for the efficacy analyses. All enrolled participants who received at least 1 dose of open label study drug and had both the baseline and at least 1 postbaseline assessment in the open label phase were included in this analysis set.

Neuropsychiatric symptoms of schizophrenia were assessed using the 30-item PANSS scale. PANSS scale provides a total score (sum of scores of all 30 items) and scores for 3 subscales, ie, positive (7 items), negative (7 items), and general psychopathology (16 items) subscales. Each item is scored on a scale of 1 (absent) to 7 (extreme). Positive Factor Score (range: 8 to 56): sum of select scores from positive, negative, and general psychopathology subscales. Negative Factor Score (range: 7 to 49): sum of select scores from negative and general psychopathology subscales. Disorganized Thoughts Factor Score (range: 7 to 49): sum of select scores from positive, negative, and general psychopathology subscales. Uncontrolled Hostility/Excitement Factor Score (range: 4 to 28): sum of select scores from positive and general psychopathology subscales. Anxiety/Depression Factor Score (range: 4 to 28): sum of select scores from general psychopathology subscale. Higher scores indicate worsening.

Population: The open-label intent-to-treat analysis set was used for the efficacy analyses. All enrolled participants who received at least 1 dose of open-label study drug and had both the baseline and at least 1 postbaseline assessment in the open-label phase were included in this analysis set.

A comprehensive neuropsychological examination that measures different domains of cognitive functioning is provided. They are either assessed as T-scores \[mean=50, SD=10 range 1-100\]; z-scores \[mean=0, SD=1, and can be positive or negative\] or scaled scores \[mean=10, SD=3, and can be positive or negative\]. The theory-of-mind total score is a raw score that ranges from 1 to 100. Higher scores for all scales denote better performance.

Patients in this group were previously assigned to placebo in the R076477PSZ3001 (NCT00518323) study. They started with an oral dose of 6 mg tablets daily, regardless of prior treatment assignment in R076477PSZ3001 (NCT00518323). The initial 6 mg daily dose was increased in increments of 3 mg, not more frequently than once every 5 days until the maximum dose of 12 mg daily was reached. If 12 mg was not well tolerated, then the dose could be reduced down to 9 mg daily. Alternatively the dose could be decreased to 3 mg or 1.5 mg daily, if the initial 6 mg dose was not well tolerated.

A comprehensive neuropsychological examination that measures different domains of cognitive functioning is provided. They are either assessed as T-scores \[mean=50, SD=10 range 1-100\]; z-scores \[mean=0, SD=1, and can be positive or negative\] or scaled scores \[mean=10, SD=3, and can be positive or negative\]. The theory-of-mind total score is a raw score that ranges from 1 to 100. Higher scores for all scales denote better performance.

Placebo/Paliperidone
n=21 Participants
Patients in this group were previously assigned to placebo in the R076477PSZ3001 (NCT00518323) study. They started with an oral dose of 6 mg tablets daily, regardless of prior treatment assignment in R076477PSZ3001 (NCT00518323). The initial 6 mg daily dose was increased in increments of 3 mg, not more frequently than once every 5 days until the maximum dose of 12 mg daily was reached. If 12 mg was not well tolerated, then the dose could be reduced down to 9 mg daily. Alternatively the dose could be decreased to 3 mg or 1.5 mg daily, if the initial 6 mg dose was not well tolerated.

Sleep VAS is a self administered scale that rates the quality of sleep and daytime drowsiness. Participants make a mark on a line to represent how well they have slept in the previous 7 days ("very badly" to "very well") and how often they have felt drowsy within the previous 7 days ("not at all" to "all the time"). The score for each item ranges from 0 to 100 mm. For quality of sleep, a score of 0 indicates "Very badly" and a score of 100 indicates "Very well." For daytime drowsiness, a score of 0 indicates "Not at all" and a score of 100 indicates "All the time." Improvement of the condition is indicated by the positive change for the quality of sleep and the negative change for the daytime drowsiness.

Measure
Placebo/Paliperidone
n=39 participants at risk
Patients in this group were previously assigned to placebo in the R076477PSZ3001 (NCT00518323) study. They started with an oral dose of 6 mg tablets daily, regardless of prior treatment assignment in R076477PSZ3001 (NCT00518323). The initial 6 mg daily dose was increased in increments of 3 mg, not more frequently than once every 5 days until the maximum dose of 12 mg daily was reached. If 12 mg was not well tolerated, then the dose could be reduced down to 9 mg daily. Alternatively the dose could be decreased to 3 mg or 1.5 mg daily, if the initial 6 mg dose was not well tolerated.
Paliperidone (Double-blind)/Paliperidone
n=118 participants at risk
Patients in this group were previously assigned to paliperidone extended-release in the R076477PSZ3001 (NCT00518323) study. They started with an oral dose of 6 mg tablets daily, regardless of prior treatment assignment in R076477PSZ3001 (NCT00518323). The initial 6 mg daily dose was increased in increments of 3 mg, not more frequently than once every 5 days until the maximum dose of 12 mg daily was reached. If 12 mg was not well tolerated, then the dose could be reduced down to 9 mg daily. Alternatively the dose could be decreased to 3 mg or 1.5 mg daily, if the initial 6 mg dose was not well tolerated.
Paliperidone (No Double-blind)/Paliperidone
n=243 participants at risk
Patients in this group were directly enrolled into the study and started with an oral dose of 6 mg tablets daily. The initial 6 mg daily dose was increased in increments of 3 mg, not more frequently than once every 5 days until the maximum dose of 12 mg daily was reached. If 12 mg was not well tolerated, then the dose could be reduced down to 9 mg daily. Alternatively the dose could be decreased to 3 mg or 1.5 mg daily, if the initial 6 mg dose was not well tolerated.
