Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change in the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) Total Score for Schizophrenia
Baseline to the last postrandomization assessment in the double-blind treatment period (approximately 13 weeks)

The PANSS scale is used to assess the neuropsychiatric symptoms of schizophrenia. The 30-item PANSS scale provides a total score (sum of the scores of all 30 items) and scores for 3 subscales, the positive subscale (7 items), the negative subscale (7 items),and the general psychopathology subscale (16 items), each item rated on a scale of 1 (absent) to 7 (extreme).

Number of Participants Who Had a Mood Relapse.
24 months

Mood Relapse was defined as: The subject met DSM-IV criteria for a manic, hypomanic, mixed, or depressive episode; or, the subject needed treatment intervention with any mood stabilizer, antipsychotic medication (other than study drug), benzodiazepine (beyond the dosage allowed), or antidepressant medication; or the subject required hospitalization for any bipolar mood episode; or the subject had a YMRS or MADRS score \>12 or a CGI-S score \>4; or a dose increase, or supplementation with oral risperidone or another antipsychotic or mood stabilizer, was needed in the opinion of the investigator.

Efficacy will be determined by measuring the time (in days) from randomization to event/relapse; relapse will be assessed by clinical status, rating scale changes, and pharmacologic stability in double-blind phase.
52 weeks

Frequently asked questions about RISPERDAL CONSTA

What is RISPERDAL CONSTA used for?

RISPERDAL CONSTA is a long-acting injectable antipsychotic used for the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. It is a small molecule developed by Johnson & Johnson (JNJ). The drug is administered to help manage symptoms associated with these psychiatric conditions, and it has been studied in Phase 3 clinical trials.

What does RISPERDAL CONSTA target?

RISPERDAL CONSTA is an antipsychotic medication that works by modulating dopamine and serotonin receptors in the brain. This mechanism helps to alleviate symptoms of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. The drug is a small molecule formulation designed for sustained release, providing long-lasting therapeutic effects.

Who makes RISPERDAL CONSTA?

RISPERDAL CONSTA is developed by Johnson & Johnson, a multinational pharmaceutical company traded under the ticker JNJ. The company has conducted Phase 3 clinical trials to evaluate the drug's safety and efficacy in treating schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

What phase is RISPERDAL CONSTA in?

RISPERDAL CONSTA is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is an investigational drug, meaning it has not yet been approved by regulatory authorities. The Phase 3 trials have been completed, and the drug is being studied for its effectiveness and safety in patients with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

What clinical trials is RISPERDAL CONSTA in?

RISPERDAL CONSTA has been studied in three completed Phase 3 trials. NCT00094926 and NCT00132678 evaluated the drug in bipolar disorder, while NCT00589914 compared it to paliperidone palmitate in schizophrenia. These trials enrolled a total of 1,221 participants and were randomized, double-blind, and active-controlled.

Is RISPERDAL CONSTA the same as paliperidone palmitate?

No, RISPERDAL CONSTA is not the same as paliperidone palmitate. They are distinct medications, although both are long-acting injectable antipsychotics. A Phase 3 trial (NCT00589914) directly compared the two drugs in patients with schizophrenia to evaluate their relative safety and efficacy.
