Study summary

This is a prospective, open-label study to evaluate the efficacy and safety in reducing antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia, weight gain, and dyslipidemia by aripiprazole. Approximate 60 patients will be recruited to achieve at least 40 evaluable patients.

Read the detailed description

A.Screening / Baseline visit (V1; Day 0) After signing the informed consent form, patients' DSM-IV multiaxial examination, physical examination, vital sign, pregnancy test, BMI will be conducted. The demographics, medical history, and concomitant medication will be recorded. After evaluating all variables obtained, the eligible patients will be enrolled into study.Patients who fulfill the inclusion / exclusion criteria will be performed the laboratory tests, PANSS, EPS (AIMS \& BARS), menstrual function, sexual function (Arizona sexual experience scale) and prolaction. Afterwards, the treatment period will be started to add-on with first medication (7.5 or 15 mg daily by patient, which was prescribed by investigator) to current antipsychotics at this visit. Besides, drug accounting and adverse events will also be recorded at this visit. Patients are maintained on current doses of antipsychotics, and all other medicines.

B.Treatment phase (V2\~V3; 2\~4 Week finished; 14±3\~28±3 Day finished) The vital sign, physical examination, BMI, laboratory tests (at V3), PANSS, EPS (AIMS \& BARS), menstrual function, sexual function (Arizona sexual experience scale), and prolactin will be carried out. Concomitant medication, adverse events, and drug accounting will also be recorded at this visit. Study drug could be titrated with a flexible dose from 7.5 to 30 mg QD. All dose adjustments should be made with the approval of the investigator.

C.Completion visit (V4; 8 Week Finished; 56±7 Day finished, or Early termination) The vital sign, physical examination, pregnancy test, BMI, laboratory tests, PANSS, EPS (AIMS \& BARS), menstrual function, sexual function (Arizona sexual experience scale), prolactin will be carried out. Concomitant medication, adverse events, and drug accounting will also be recorded at this visit.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Male or female in age between 12 and 65 years old.
  2. Clinical diagnosis of schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, or bipolar disorder with criteria.
  3. Keep stable dosage of the same antipsychotic other than aripiprazole during last one month.
  4. Who are currently taking antipsychotic drugs and for whom an alteration in medication is clinically reasonable. This includes patients who are stable or who have symptoms that are not optimally controlled or patients experiencing tolerability problems.
  5. Having antipsychotic-induced symptomatic hyperprolactinemia, weight gain, increased plasma glucose or dyslipidemia judged by the investigator.
  6. was obtained from the subject and legal guardian (if necessary).

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Pregnant or breast feeding women or planning a pregnancy.
  2. Patient has a history of or allergy to investigated drug.
  3. Acute psychosis, acute suicidal ideation, or any acute psychiatric condition that might require emergent intervention.
  4. Any clinical condition or significant concurrent disease judged by the investigator to complicate the evaluation of the study treatment.
  5. Having participated other drug study and taken the investigation drug within one month prior to study entry.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

DSM diagnostic criteria

The American Psychiatric Association’s manual of mental health diagnoses. DSM-5 (2013, revised as DSM-5-TR in 2022) replaced DSM-IV, and some studies still name the older edition. “Meets DSM criteria for …” means diagnosed by that edition’s diagnostic criteria, usually by a clinician in an interview.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Oct 10, 2007, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
