SPECT Study With SB-773812 In Schizophrenic Patients
- Registration Number
- NCT00269035
- Lead Sponsor
- GlaxoSmithKline
- Brief Summary
This study is being conducted in 2 groups of schizophrenic patients: in group 1 the relationship between the dopaminergic D2 receptor occupancy (D2 RO ) and serotoninergic 5HT2A receptor occupancy at stable plasma concentration (Cp) of SB-773812 will be investigated using SPECT scan in up to 15 chronic schizophrenic patients in an open- label design. In group 2 up to 80 patients will receive SB-773812 or Risperidone for 6 weeks to obtain at least 10 patients showing clinical improvement with SB-773812. The relationship of D2 RO, measured at steady state after chronic dosing at Cmax (6+/-2 h) and Ctrough (24+/-4 h), and PK at steady state after repeated doses, to efficacy readouts will be investigated. The SB-773812 dose administered will be selected as the highest dose proven to be safe and well tolerated from a previous study.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To investigate in schizophrenic patients the relationship between D2 RO, 5HT2A RO and stable plasma concentrations of SB-773812 (gr.1) and the relationship of D2 RO and PK over time at steady state to efficacy readouts after 6 w treatment (gr.2) 6 weeks
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To assess the effect of 6 week treatment of SB-773812 on clinical symptoms as measured by Positive and Negative Symptoms Scale (PANSS), cognitive performance and CGI Severity and Improvement as a function of duration of dosing (group 2). 6 weeks
