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   43861   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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 mail objective of the study was to demonstrate that injection cycles consisting of a single administration of paliperidone palmitate 6-month (PP6M) (700 or 1000 milligrams equivalent [mg eq.]) were not less effective than 2 sequentially administered injections of paliperidone palmitate 3-month (PP3M) (350 or 525 mg eq.) for the prevention of relapse in subjects with schizophrenia previously stabilized on corresponding doses of paliperidone palmitate 1-month (PP1M) (100 or 150 mg eq.) or PP3M (350 or 525 mg eq.).
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki and that are consistent with Good Clinical Practices and applicable regulatory requirements. Safety evaluations included the assessment of adverse events (AEs), clinical laboratory tests, electrocardiogram (ECG), vital signs, physical examinations, extrapyramidal symptom assessment scales, injection site evaluations and columbia suicide severity rating Scale (C-SSRS) for assessment of suicidal ideation throughout the study.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    		 A total of 838 subjects were enrolled either in paliperidone palmitate 1-month (PP1M) or PP3M in Open-label (OL) Phase. Out of 838 subjects, 702 entered the Double-blind (DB) Phase. 702 subjects were randomized in DB Phase (PP6M: n=478; PP3M: n=224), out of which 202 and 416 subjects completed the study in PP3M and PP6M, respectively.

    		 Changes From Baseline in the Personal and Social Performance (PSP) Scale Total Score up to 12 Months of the DB Phase
    End point description
    The PSP scale assesses the degree of dysfunction a subject exhibits within 4 domains of behavior: (a) socially useful activities, (b) personal and social relationships, (c) self-care, and (d) disturbing and aggressive behavior. The results of the assessment are converted to a numerical score from 1 to 100 points, functioning (91 to 100 points), good functioning (81 to 90 points), mild difficulties (71 to 80 points), etc, as shown in the Manual of Assessments. Scores from 31 to 70 points indicate varying degrees of difficulty, and scores below 30 points indicate functioning so poor that intensive support or supervision is needed. DB ITT Analysis Set included all subjects who were randomly assigned to treatment group of either PP6M or PP3M during the DB Phase and received at least 1 dose of DB study drug. Here 'N' (number of subjects analyzed), included all subjects who were evaluable for this endpoint.

    Open Label (OL) PP1M/PP3M (4 Months)
    Reporting group description
    		 Subjects previously treated with oral antipsychotics, or injectable risperidone, or a moderate or higher dose of PP1M with previous initiation but without previous stabilization (where stabilization was defined as at least 3 months of injections with the last 2 doses being the same strength) received 1 to 5 intramuscular (IM) injections of paliperidone palmitate 1-month (PP1M) 50 to 150 milligrams equivalent (mg eq.) to achieve stability during Open-label (OL) transition phase and to initiate the OL maintenance phase. Subjects received single dose of IM injections of PP1M as 100 or 150 mg eq. or paliperidone palmitate 3-month (PP3M) as 350 or 525 mg eq was administered during the OL-maintenance Phase. Open-label phase duration was of 4 Months (OL-transition of 1 month and OL-maintenance of 3 months).

    Reporting group title
    Double-blind (DB) Phase PP3M
    Reporting group description
    		 Subjects received four doses of PP3M (350 or 525 mg eq.) IM injection for up to 12 months (one dose every 3 month) during DB phase.

    Reporting group title
    Double-blind (DB) Phase PP6M
    Reporting group description
    		 Subjects received two doses of PP6M (700 or 1000 mg eq.) IM injection for 12 months (one dose every 6 months), during the DB Phase. To maintain blinding, subjects who were assigned to treatment with PP6M in this arm, received IM injections of matching placebo at the 3-month time points between their 6-month doses of PP6M drug.

    Reporting group title
    Follow-up (FU) Phase PP3M
    Reporting group description
    		 Subjects who have received at least 1 dose of PP3M (350 or 525 mg eq.) IM injection during double-blind phase but then have relapsed or have met other relevant conditions for withdrawal or discontinuation can participate in the Follow-up phase PP3M (350 or 525 mg eq.) IM injection for up to 12 months for evaluating efficacy and safety.

    Reporting group title

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)
    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    21 Mar 2018
    a) Clarified text (1) on the version of Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) to be used at the screening and baseline visits, and all other visits; (2) vital signs to be collected every 3 months (Q3) during Double-blind (DB) Phase; (3) on the frequency of pre study Risperdal injections, and that subjects taking branded LAI of risperidone or paliperidone palmitate (PP) were permitted to enter the Transition Phase of the study. b) Added text (1) to maximize patient safety, exclude clinically unstable patients, and align with the R092670PSY3011 protocol; (2) to modify exclusion criterion #10 to minimize risk of fetal exposure to study drug; (3) to include risperidone 3 mg/day as a valid alternative at an equivalent dose in countries for which the paliperidone ER/prolonged-release (PR) formulations was not available; (3) to provide clearer guidance on timing of the end-of phase (EOP) visit; (4) to update Attachment 1 "Guidelines for the Intramuscular Injection of Paliperidone Palmitate or Placebo During the DB Phase" with clear instructions regarding the administration of injection; (5) to add exclusion criterion #26 excluding subjects with severe renal impairment per FDA request for clarification; (6) to add a formula to clarify the calculation of percent change of PANSS total score. c) Modified text (1) to remove renal insufficiency as part of exclusion criterion #7; (2) to limit participation in the Transition Phase to subjects taking INVEGA SUSTENNA or XEPLION PP1M formulations (3) to modify text to prevent the risk of unblinding study treatment while collecting prolactin samples for clinical laboratory testing; (4) to remove controlling stratification by the maintenance dose level in the primary efficacy analysis. Two hundred sixteen subjects were enrolled in the study under the original protocol and 464 subjects were enrolled under the first protocol amendment.
    28 Sep 2018
    a) Revised the number of pre-randomization injections of PP1M from a total of 6 (i.e., 5-month duration) to a total of 5 (i.e., 4-month duration) required before subjects were randomized to either PP3M or PP6M (paliperidone palmitate [PP] treatment group in the Double-blind Phase. This change was applied to subjects in the study’s Open-label phases being treated with PP1M after the PP3M pre-randomization target was met, since these subjects were randomized directly from PP1M treatment. b) Updated and clarified supporting text, figures, and tables for consistency and to correct conflicting portions of the protocol that inadvertently increased the minimum duration of PP1M treatment from 4 months to 5 months. c) Removed text related to optional salivary biomarkers research. Fourteen subjects were enrolled under the second global protocol amendment
    11 Feb 2019
    a) To align with the primary endpoint, the duration of the Double-blind Phase was limited to 12 months by eliminating the double-blind extension period. b) The estimated number of subjects entering the Transition/Maintenance Phases was increased from a target sample size of 765 to 840 to match dropout/enrollment rates and to meet the randomization target of 549 subjects in the Double-blind Phase. c) Modified Inclusion Criterion 11 to clarify the method of contraception in criterion 10 was applicable to female partners of male study subjects. d) Removed collection of blood biomarkers from the protocol. The third global amendment was implemented after all subjects had been enrolled.
