Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

    • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).

    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the long-term (2-year) safety and tolerability of paliperidone extended release (ER) in at least 100 adolescent subjects (12 to 17 years of age, inclusive) with schizophrenia.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study had an independent Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) to ensure subject safety throughout the study. Safety evaluations included monitoring of clinical laboratory tests (hematology, serum chemistry, lipid levels, fasting glucose, insulin and urinalysis), urine drug screen, vital sign measurements (temperature, pulse, and blood pressure), physical examinations and Tanner Staging, electrocardiograms (ECGs), pregnancy tests, investigation of weight gain, height, waist circumference and metabolic disturbances, monitoring of extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS), Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale, C-CASA assessment of potentially suicide-related events and other adverse events (included psychiatric adverse events).

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

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    		 Subjects enrolled in this study came from three different sources: subjects who enrolled directly, subjects who were randomly assigned to placebo in the R076477PSZ3001 (NCT00518323) study and subjects who were randomly assigned to paliperidone ER in the R076477PSZ3001 (NCT00518323) study.

    		 Subjects in this group were previously assigned to placebo in the R076477PSZ3001 (NCT00518323) study. They started with an oral dose of 6 milligram (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 serious adverse event (SAE) 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. Safety analysis set included all subjects who received at least 1 dose of open label study drug.

    The PANSS is a medical scale that assesses various symptoms of schizophrenia. The symptoms are rated on a 7-point scale from 1 (absent) to 7 (extreme psychopathology). The total score is the sum of all 30 PANSS items, with a range of 30 (absent) to 210 (extreme ill). Efficacy analysis set included all ITT open-label subjects who received at least 1 dose of open label study drug and had at least 1 postbaseline assessment in open-label phase.

Uncontrolled Hostility/Excitement Factor Score (range: 4 to 28): sum of select scores from positive and general psychopathology subscales. Anxiety or Depression Factor Score (range: 4 to 28): sum of select scores from general psychopathology subscale. Higher scores indicate worsening.

    End point description
    A comprehensive neuropsychological examination that measures different domains of cognitive functioning was provided. They were either assessed as T-scores [mean=50, standard deviation (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. Efficacy analysis set included all ITT open-label subjects who received at least 1 dose of open label study drug and had at least 1 postbaseline assessment in open-label phase.

    End point description
    Sleep VAS is a self-administered scale that rates the quality of sleep and daytime drowsiness. Subjects 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 millimeter (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. Efficacy analysis set included all ITT open-label subjects who received at least 1 dose of open label study drug and had at least 1 postbaseline assessment in open-label phase.

    Reporting group title
    Placebo/Pali
    Reporting group description
    		 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.

    Reporting group title
    Pali (NO DB)/Pali
    Reporting group description
    		 Patients in this group were directly enrolled into the study and started with an oral dose of 6 mg tablets daily.
