Trial Outcomes & Findings for An Efficacy and Safety Study of One Dosage of Paliperidone Extended Release (ER) in Treating Patients With Schizophrenia (NCT NCT00524043)

NCT ID: NCT00524043

Last Updated: 2014-06-04

Results Overview

The Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) is a tool used by psychiatrists to measure the symptoms of psychosis experienced by a patient with schizophrenia. It includes 30 items that produce a total score ranging from a minimum of 30 (indicating least severe symptoms of illness) to a maximum of 120 (indicating most severe symptoms of illness). A negative change in score from baseline to end point indicates improvement in the symptoms of illness.

Participant Flow

The study began on 21 September 2007 when the first patient was enrolled and ended on 20 November 2008 when the last patient left the study. The study was performed at medical clinics in the United States, India, and Taiwan.

Patients who wished to enter the study were screened and, if necessary, had prohibited medications (such as other antipsychotic drugs) washed out for 3 to 5 days before beginning the study. Eligible patients were excluded prior to beginning the study if, for example, they took a prohibited medication.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 6 weeks

Population: The intent-to-treat analysis set included all enrolled patients who received at least 1 dose of paliperidone ER or placebo and had both the baseline and at least 1 postbaseline efficacy assessment.

It includes 30 items that produce a total score ranging from a minimum of 30 (indicating least severe symptoms of illness) to a maximum of 120 (indicating most severe symptoms of illness).

Population: The intent-to-treat analysis set included all enrolled patients who received at least 1 dose of paliperidone ER or placebo and had both the baseline and at least 1 postbaseline efficacy assessment.

The Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) rating scale is used by psychiatrists to rate the severity of a patient's psychotic condition on a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (not ill) to 7 (extremely severe). The scale permits a global evaluation of the patient's condition at a given time.

Population: The intent-to-treat analysis set included all enrolled patients who received at least 1 dose of paliperidone ER or placebo and had both the baseline and at least 1 postbaseline efficacy assessment.

The Personal and Social Performance (PSP) scale assesses the degree of difficulty (ranging from i \[absent\] to vi \[very severe\]) a patient exhibits over a 1-month period in socially useful activities, personal and social relationships, self care, and disturbing and aggressive behavior. The overall score ranges from 1 to 100. Patients with scores of 71 to 100 have a mild degree of difficulty; patients with scores from 31 to 70 have various degrees of disability; and patients with scores of 30 or less function so poorly as to require intensive supervision.

The Medical Outcomes Study Short Form Health Survey-36 (MOS SF-36) is a measure of patient-reported health status. It is a 36-item questionnaire measuring 8 domains (physical functioning, role physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role emotional, and mental health). Each domain score ranges from 0 (worst) to 100 (best), with higher scores reflecting better health-related functional status. Two summary scale scores are computed based on weighted combinations of the 8 subscale scores: the Physical Component Summary and the Mental Component Summary.
