Study Overview

Brief Summary

A comparative bioequivalence study Paliperidone Palmitate Extended Release Injectable Suspension 156 mg of Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Limited, India. with that of Invega Sustenna® (Paliperidone Palmitate) Extended Release Injectable Suspension 156 mg of Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in patients with schizophrenia and/ or schizoaffective disorder. The study will be conducted at multiple investigator sites across India. Sufficient number of patients will be screened and enrolled in order to have 80 evaluable patients. Enrolment will continue until at least 80 patients complete both study periods. There is two periods in this study. Patients shall be randomized either test or reference for consecutive five dosing i.e. on day 1, day 29, day 57, day 85, day 113 (Period 01).  Patients will then be switched over to the other treatment (period 02) based on randomization schedule for the next consecutive five doses i.e. on day 141, day 169, day 197, day 225 and day 253.  Patient shall continue to receive the injection in the same anatomical location i.e. deltoid or gluteal muscle as per randomization for the entire duration of the study. Deltoid injections should be alternated between the two deltoid muscles†and “Gluteal injections should be alternated between the two gluteal muscles. Alternate muscle is recommended to avoid any haematoma or other injection site adverse events.
