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   43857   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 ).  
     
    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
    Schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder or first episode psychosis
    E.1.1.1Medical condition in easily understood language
    Severe mental illness
    E.1.1.2Therapeutic area Psychiatry and Psychology [F] - Mental Disorders [F03]
    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 practicalities and acceptability of delivering a large scale trial looking at treatment with liraglutide in people with severe mental illness (schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder and first episode psychosis.)
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To compare the effects of liraglutide 3 mg once daily versus placebo on body weight after 26 weeks.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1)Age 18-75 years old.
    2)Clinical diagnosis of schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder (defined by ICD-10 codes F20 and F25) or first episode psychosis using case note review. There is no limit on the duration of illness for those with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder but first episode psychosis is defined as less than 3 years since presentation to the mental health team or first antipsychotic prescription.
    3)Treatment with an antipsychotic, with a minimum duration of 1 month prior to entry in to the trial. No restriction is placed on the class or generation of antipsychotic
    4)Ability to give written informed consent.
    5)Ability and willingness to take liraglutide or placebo.
    6)Ability to speak and read English.
    7)Body mass index ≥ 30 kg/m² (obese), or ≥ 27 kg/m² to < 30 kg/m² (overweight) in the presence of at least one weight-related consequence such as dysglycaemia (HbA1c >42 mmol/mol), hypertension (blood pressure >140/90 mmHg), dyslipidaemia (record of dyslipidaemia and/or taking lipid lowering drugs) or obstructive sleep apnoea (diagnosis from respiratory physician) .
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    1) Physical illnesses that could seriously reduce their life expectancy or ability to participate in the trial
    2) A co-existing physical health problem that would, in the opinion of the principal investigator, independently impact on metabolic measures or weight, e.g. Cushing’s syndrome , poorly controlled T2DM defined by HbA1c >8% (64 mmol/mol).
    3) Severe renal or hepatic impairment
    4) Inflammatory bowel disease and diabetic gastroparesis
    5) Contraindications to Saxenda®: Hypersensitivity to liraglutide or to any of the excipients
    6) Use of other pharmacological products for weight management
    7) Mental illnesses that could seriously reduce their ability to participant in the trial, including significant suicidality. Every patient in contact with the Southern Health Trust has a risk assessment which is recorded on the electronic patient record (RIO). If the risk assessment states that they are at “High” risk of harm to themselves, we would exclude the patient from the study. In addition, prior to recruitment, we will approach any potential participant’s care coordinators to verify the currently recorded risk, to ensure that the risk status has not changed.
    8) Current pregnancy or a desire to become pregnant. Mothers who are less than 6 months post-partum or breastfeeding will also be excluded. Women who become pregnant during the trial will be advised to stop the study medication and will be withdrawn from the trial. Any women who may become pregnant during the trial but is unwilling to use a highly effective method of birth control (e.g. such as implants, injectables, combined oral contraceptives, some IUDs, sexual abstinence or vasectomised partner) will not be eligible for the trial.
    9) Significant alcohol or substance misuse which, in the opinion of the principal investigator, would limit the patient’s ability to participate in the trial.
    10) A diagnosis or tentative diagnosis of psychotic depression or mania.
    11) A primary diagnosis of learning disability or cognitive impairment which would impair participant’s ability to self-administer trial medication.
    12) Lack of capacity. Those who lose capacity any time during the study will not be eligible to continue and will be withdrawn from the study immediately with no further study procedures carried out.
    13) History of type 1 diabetes
    14) Current or previous use of incretin based therapies (GLP-1 receptor agonist or DPP-4 inhibitors) or insulin
    E.5 End points
