E.1.1.1 | Medical condition in easily understood language |
|
E.1.1.2 | Therapeutic area | Body processes [G] - Metabolic Phenomena [G03] |
MedDRA Classification |
E.1.3 | Condition being studied is a rare disease | No |
E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To investigate if 3 months treatment with a GLP-1-analogue can reduce antipsychotic associated obesity in non-diabetic patients with a diagnosis within the schizophrenic spectrum |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Moreover we will investigate the associations between GLP-1-analogue treatment and peripheral metabolic parameters as well as associations with central psychological parameters such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the brain and cognitive tests. |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |

Alder: 18 - 65 år Diagnose i det skizofrene spektrum (ICD-10: F20.x, F25.x) Behandling med mindst ét antipsykotikum (FGA og/eller SGA) gennem mindst 3 måneder BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 HbA1c < 6,5 %

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary endpoint is weightloss after 3 moths treatment with the GLP-1-analogue, exenatide. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
The effect of GLP-1-analogue treatment on a wide range of secondary endpoints will be examined. By means of MRI, potential neuroprotective effects and changes in cerebral blood flow will be explored. Changes in cerebral blood flow following GLP-1 analogue treatment, with particular focus on the blood flow in hypothalamus and prefrontal cortex, will be correlated to measures of global cognitive ability. Moreover, associations between GLP-1 analogue treatment, weight loss and improvement in secondary metabolic parameters will be associated with improvements in the patients' subjective quality of life. Finally, we will examine if possible GLP-1 analogue-induced volumetric changes in the striatum are correlated with reductions in the extrapyramidal side effects of antipsychotic medication.
