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   44234   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7336   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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    E. General Information on the Trial
    E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation
    E.1.1Medical condition(s) being investigated
    no specific condition, we will investigate people with intellectual disability who have been using risperidone on an off-label basis for at least one year.
    E.1.1.1Medical condition in easily understood language
    no specific condition, we will investigate people with intellectual disability who have been using risperidone on an off-label basis for at least one year.
    E.1.1.2Therapeutic area Psychiatry and Psychology [F] - Behavioral Disciplines and Activities [F04]
    MedDRA Classification
    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of this study is: To study the effect of controlled discontinuation of long-term used risperidone, for the treatment of challenging behavior, on behaviour and health. Our hypothesis is that long-term use of risperidone for challenging behaviour is not more effective than a placebo.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    1) To study the effect of controlled discontinuation on physical health parameters, including physical parameters of side-effects.
    2) To study the effect of controlled discontinuation of risperidone on Health-related Quality of Life (HQoL).
    3) To study whether there is an association between HQoL and severity of challenging behaviour and physical health parameters.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. IQ<70 as assessed by an authorized behavioral therapist
    2. Age > 6 years
    3. No history of chronic psychosis
    4. Risperidone use>1 year
    5. Challenging behavior was the reason of prescription of risperidone
    6. Informed consent obtained from legal representative
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    1. A history of schizofrenia, a bipolar disorder, or affective psychosis according to DSM IV or ICD-10 criteria
    2. A history of unsuccessful withdrawal of antipsychotics in the past 6 months
    3. The use of other antipsychotics in addition to risperidone use
    4. Risperidone is administered as long-acting injections
    5. Clients that do not receive 24 hour/a day care (by either a service provider or parents/family)
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary end point is behaviopr meassured by the irritability subscale of the Aberrant Behaviour Checklist (ABC). The ABC was developed to assess (pharmaceutical) treatment effects on the challenging behaviors of people with intellectual disability (35-37). The ABC has 58 items divided over five subscales i.e., irritability (15 items), lethargy (16 items), stereotypic behavior (7 items), hyperactivity (16 items) and inappropriate speech (4 items).
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Baseline, week 6, 10, 14, 18, blinded follow-up at week 24 and natural follow-up at week 42.

    lipoproteins (HDL), low-density lipoproteins (LDL), leptine, total
    cholesterol, and HbA1C.
    •Endocrine parameters: prolactin, testosterone
    •Bone turnover: P1NP, CTx, osteocalcine, BAF, vitamin D, and calcium.
    •Thyroid function: TSH, T4, and parathyreoid hormone.
    •Pharmacokinetics: risperidone and 9-hydroxyrisperidone
    concentrations.
    •Albumine, creatine, potasium and sodium levels.
    Predictor variables:
    - Demographic data and socio-economic status
    - Treatment history and psychiatric diagnosis
    - Tanner stages of pubertal development
    - Challenging Behavior Self-Efficacy Scale
    - the Emotional Reactions to Challenging Behavior Scale
