- Conditions
- Schizophrenia
- Registration Number
- NCT04742413
- Lead Sponsor
- Angelini Farmacéutica
- Brief Summary
A 12-Month Observational Prospective Multicentre Cohort Study based on existing and newly collected data of schizophrenia patients followed-up for one year in secondary care settings (psychiatric services). Schizophrenia patients will be enrolled in a consecutive manner over a period of 6 month into two cohorts according to their prescribing switching treatment: to lurasidone (cohort A) and to another SGA (cohort B).
- Detailed Description
Study design A 12-Month observational prospective multicentre cohort study based on existing and newly collected data of schizophrenia patients followed-up for one year in secondary care settings (psychiatric services).
Patients will be selected by the specialist when required to switch the SGA therapy for schizophrenia (index data). Schizophrenia patients will be enrolled in a consecutive manner over a period of 6 month into two cohorts:
* Cohort A: patients who are prescribed to switch to lurasidone (lurasidone cohort)
* Cohort B: patients who are prescribed to switch to any other monotherapy SGA (other SGA cohort) The decision to switch the SGA treatment and prescribe the new treatment is done previously and independent from the decision to enter the patient into the study.
Visit 0 will be performed when the investigator consider necessary to perform the treatment switch and patients give their informed consent to participate in the study. All patients will sign the Informed consent before starting the data collection.
The duration of the study will be 12 months of follow-up after switching (visit 0): month 1 (visit 1), month 3 (visit 2), month 6 (visit 3) and month 12 (visit 4). Moreover, the clinical data of the patients recorded previous the index data will be collected in order to ensure that these patients were on an SGA monotherapy for a minimum of 3 months before switching to maximize potential weight gain and dysmetabolic problems that occurs early during the treatment. Preferably, patients have to be on treatment for a year or more before switching so that they have reached a weight plateau.

- All
- Target Recruitment
- 9
-

-
Patients with schizophrenia based on the Diagnostic of Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5).
-
Patients currently treated with oral SGA monotherapy for a minimum of 3 months that are prescribed* to switch to another oral SGA medication. Patients will be included in a cohort depending on the switching treatment prescribed:
- Cohort A: patients who are prescribed to switch to lurasidone (lurasidone cohort)
- Cohort B: patients who are prescribed to switch to any other monotherapy SGA (other SGA cohort) *Treatment switch and overlap period will be performed according to clinical practice and medical criteria.

Concomitant treatment with sedative substances not considered antipsychotics (i.e., benzodiazepines or similar) when they are being taking regularly and at unchanged low doses are allowed.
- Patients with history of seizures, stroke, neuroleptic malignant syndrome or epilepsy are excluded.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To analyze cardiometabolic profile changes based on metabolic syndrome factors changes from baseline to visit 2. Month 3 fasting glucose levels (mg/dL)
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Health resources use Month 3, month 6 and month 12 To analyze the health resources use during the study.
Analyze cardiometabolic profile changes based on metabolic syndrome factors Month 3, month 6 and month 12 fasting glucose levels (mg/dL) changes from baseline to visit 1, 3 and 4.
To evaluate effectiveness from baseline. Month 3, month 6 and month 12 To evaluate effectiveness based on Clinical Global Impressions Ratings scores from baseline. Smaller scores mean a better outcome
Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) changes based on patient reported outcomes Month 3, month 6 and month 12 To describe the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) changes based on patient reported outcomes from baseline.
Evaluate safety and tolerability through study completion, an average of 1 year To evaluate safety and tolerability based on adverse events / adverse drug reactions (serious and non-serious) reported along the study
Analyze cardiometabolic profile based on other cardiovascular risk factors Month 1, month 3, month 6 and month 12 prolactine (ng/mL) changes from baseline
QTc levels Month 12 To compare QTc levels from baseline to visit 4 (month 12)
Reason for SGA discontinuation through study completion, an average of 1 year To evaluate the reason for SGA discontinuation by antipsychotic therapy.
Change in weight Month 1, month 3, month 6 and month 12 To analyze the percentage of change in weight (kg) from baseline.
