Study summary

The primary objective of this single-center multi-site retrospective chart review is to determine if paliperidone palmitate and/or risperidone long-acting injection can decrease the number of psychiatric relapses following their initiation in an inpatient acute psychiatric unit compared to oral antipsychotic therapy and determine if one treatment is superior to the other in this regard. This study will utilize a mirror-image design and incorporate up to a 3 years of follow-up following the index admission. Secondary objectives of this study will be to determine the change in hospital resource utilization for psychiatric reasons following treatment initiation, and to determine the difference in time to relapse.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Psychiatric Relapse

    Hospitalizations will be used as a proxy for relapse and the primary endpoint will be the number of hospital admissions following the discharge date of the index admission for up to 3 years compared to an equivalent timeframe prior to the beginning of the index admission (and including the 1st day of the index admission). Patients will be considered eligible for the primary objective after 3 months of continued long-acting injection treatment.

    Time frame: up to 3 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Hospital Resource utilization for psychiatric reasons

    Number of ER visits for psychiatric reasons, number of days admitted in hospital for psychiatric reasons.

    Time frame: up to 3 years

  2. Time to relapse

    time following discharge of index admission until the subsequent admission for psychiatric reasons (in days); time following discharge of index admission until the subsequent ER visit for psychiatric reasons (in days).

    Time frame: up to 3 years

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
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 Jan 4, 2018, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
