Study summary

This is a regulatory-required non-interventional pharmacovigilance study exploring the safety profile of ziprasidone HCL monohydrate 20mg, 40mg, 60mg, 80mg in the real world patient population, thus, safety (and/or efficacy) signals will be checked at every visit during the contracted study period until the maximum study end date, per the protocol, of April 2010.

Read the detailed description

All patients diagnosed with schizophrenia or acute manic or mixed episodes associated with bipolar disorder, with or without psychotic features will be included in the study.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants for Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S) Status at Final Visit (up to Week 8) - Intent to Treat Population

    CGI-S is a single-item clinician rated scale to rate the severity of a participant's illness over time. Scores range from 1 (normal, not ill at all) to 7 (among the most extremely ill); higher score indicates more affected.

    Time frame: Baseline up to Week 8

  2. Number of Participants for Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S) Status at Final Visit (up to Week 8) - Per Protocol Population

    CGI-S is a single-item clinician rated scale to rate the severity of a participant's illness over time. Scores range from 1 (normal, not ill at all) to 7 (among the most extremely ill); higher score indicates more affected.

    Time frame: Baseline up to Week 8

  3. Number of Participants for Change From Baseline in Clinical Global Impression - Improvement (CGI-I) at Final Visit (up to Week 8) - ITT

    CGI-I is a single-item clinician rated scale used to assess the participant's improvement or worsening from baseline. Scores range from 1 (very much improved) to 4 (no change) to 7 (very much worse); higher score indicates more affected.

    Time frame: Baseline up to Week 8

  4. Number of Participants for Change From Baseline in Clinical Global Impression - Improvement (CGI-I) at Final Visit (up to Week 8) - PP

    CGI-I is a single-item clinician rated scale used to assess the participant's improvement or worsening from baseline. Scores range from 1 (very much improved) to 4 (no change) to 7 (very much worse); higher score indicates more affected.

    Time frame: Baseline up to Week 8

Other outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS ) - Improvement

    BPRS-A: 18-item clinician rated scale to assess somatic concern, anxiety, emotional withdrawal, disorganization, hallucinatory behavior, guilt feelings, suspiciousness, disorientation, tension, mannerisms, posturing, grandiosity, depressive mood, hostility, motor retardation, uncooperativeness, unusual thought content, blunted affect, and excitement. Ratings anchored to improve consistency for a single rater over time or between raters. Items rated on 7-point scale 0 (not present) to 6 (extremely severe). Total score=sum of items (range 0 to 108); higher scores indicate increased pathology.

    Time frame: Baseline up to Week 8

  2. Change From Baseline in Drug Attitude Inventory (DAI-10) - Improvement

    DAI-10: a 10-item scale to assess how the attitude of participants with schizophrenia toward their medications may affect compliance. Respondents indicate 'true' or 'false' for each item. An overall calculated score ranges from -10 to 10, where a positive score indicates a positive subjective response (compliant); a negative score indicates non-compliance.

    Time frame: Baseline up to Week 8

Posted Jan 7, 2011
Limitations and caveats
Per the Statistical Analysis Plan Amendment CGI-S and CGI-I endpoints analyzed as frequency counts (categorical) rather than the planned CGI-S mean change from baseline and CGI-I mean scores (continuous); any additional analyses would be exploratory.
