Trial Outcomes & Findings for Impact of Aripiprazole Once Monthly Medications on Changes in Brain Structure and Metabolism (NCT NCT02237417)

NCT ID: NCT02237417

Last Updated: 2025-03-14

Results Overview

To determine if there are differences in prefrontal white matter fractional anisotropy (FA) in subjects with schizophrenia from baseline at 12 months of treatment with aripiprazole (Abilify®) once monthly compared with standard of care (SOC) oral antipsychotic medications (e.g., aripiprazole (Abilify®), risperidone (Risperdal®), lurasidone HCI (Latuda®), quetiapine fumarate (Seroquel®), olanzapine (Zyprexa®), and ziprasidone HCI (Geodon®)).

No Treatment: A total of 15 healthy controls will participate in the study and will not receive medication
Individuals With Schizophrenia (Group A)
Standard of Care Oral antipsychotics: A total of 15 to 20 subjects with schizophrenia will receive SOC oral antipsychotic medications (e.g., aripiprazole (Abilify®), risperidone (Risperdal®), lurasidone HCI (Latuda®), quetiapine fumarate (Seroquel®), olanzapine (Zyprexa®), and ziprasidone HCI(Geodon®)) or once monthly aripiprazole (Abilify®), PO daily, in accordance with their respective product labeling.
Individuals With Schizophrenia (Group B)
IM aripiprazole once monthly: A total of 30 to 40 subjects with schizophrenia will receive aripiprazole (Abilify®) monthly, at a starting dose of 400 mg IM or an approved dose based on the investigator's judgment and in accordance with product labeling.
