Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate improvement and efficacy of paliperidone extended-release for subjective well-being and drug attitudes of participants, when switching from oral antipsychotics in participants with schizophrenia (psychiatric disorder with symptoms of emotional instability, detachment from reality, often with delusions and hallucinations, and withdrawal into the self).
Detailed Description
This is an open-label (all people know the identity of the intervention), multi-centric (conducted in more than one center), prospective (study following participants forward in time), and non-comparative study, in participants with schizophrenia. The study consists of following parts: Screening (that is, 14 days before study commences on Day 1); Acute Treatment phase (24 weeks); Extension phase 1 (24 weeks), which will be followed by additional Extension phase 2 (48 weeks). Total study duration per participant will be 96 weeks. Efficacy will primarily be evaluated by change from Baseline in Subjective Well-being Under Neuroleptic (SWN-20) Scale score and change from Baseline in Drug Attitude Inventory scores. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.
Investigators
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Participants who are diagnosed with schizophrenia (diagnosis criteria: Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fourth edition \[DSM-IV\])
- •Participants who need to change the antipsychotic drug to another one for the following reasons among the participants treated with an antipsychotic drug for more than two weeks before the screening-Lack of efficacy, lack of tolerance or lack of compliance
- •Participants who are capable of and willing to fill out the questionnaire for themselves
- •Childbearing potential women who consent to the use of the consistently permissible contraception (oral contraceptive, contraceptive injection, intrauterine device, double barrier method and contraceptive patch)
- •Participants who are compliant with self-medication or can receive consistent help or support
Exclusion Criteria

- •Participants who have taken clozapine within one month before screening
- •Participants who are suspicious of having clinically significant risk including suicide or aggressive behavior and are expected to unable to complete the study (based on the investigator's judgment)
- •Participants with severe preexisting gastrointestinal narrowing (pathologic or iatrogenic) or participants who cannot swallow the drug whole (The study drug must not be chewed, divided, melted or grinded because it can impact the study drug release profile)

Arms & Interventions

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change From Baseline in Drug Attitude Inventory (DAI-10) at Week 24
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 24
The DAI-10 is a 10-item questionnaire to assess 1) subjective experience of drug and 2) attitudes and beliefs toward neuroleptics which may influence compliance in schizophrenia participants. It is the binary scale assessing the participant's subjective response. A 'compliant' response is scored as +1; a dysphoric response is scored as -1. A positive sum of items indicates a positive subjective response (SR); a negative sum of scores indicates a negative SR (non-compliant). The final score is the grand total of the positive and negative points. Total score ranges from (-) 10 to (+) 10, higher score indicates positive SR (compliant) and lower score indicates negative SR (non-compliant). Change from Baseline was calculated as value at Baseline minus value at Week 24. Data for three groups is presented here, based on participants' transition to Paliperidone ER from other oral antipsychotics.
Change From Baseline in Self-Control Subscale Score Based on Subjective Well-being Under Neuroleptic (SWN-20) Scale at Week 24
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 24
The SWN-20 scale is a 20 item scale that was originally designed to explore the subjective experience of psychotic participants. The SWN scale contains five sub-scales consisting of four items each: mental functioning (MF), self-control (SC), emotional regulation (ER), and social integration (SI), physical functioning (PF). The total score ranges from a minimum of 20 (poor subjective experience) to a maximum of 120 (excellent subjective experience). SWN scores appear to correlate with measure of objective psychopathology, quality of life and other self-ratings of mood. Self-Control subscale score ranges from 0 to 24 and higher score indicates improvement of disease. Change from Baseline was calculated as value at Baseline minus value at Week 24. Data for three groups is presented here, based on participants' transition to Paliperidone ER from other oral antipsychotics.
