Paliperidone palmitate once-every-3-months in adults with early illness schizophrenia.


ABSTRACT: AIM:This post hoc analysis of a double-blind (DB), randomized, placebo-controlled, relapse-prevention study evaluated the effects of paliperidone palmitate once-every-3-months (PP3M) in a subpopulation of adults with early illness schizophrenia (duration ?5 years) from a clinical trial. METHODS:Patients received either PP3M or placebo every 3 months in the DB phase. The primary efficacy variable was time from randomization to first relapse. Symptom severity, patient functioning, and safety were also assessed. RESULTS:A total of 119 patients who entered the DB phase met the criteria for early illness schizophrenia (PP3M, n?=?62; placebo, n?=?57). PP3M significantly delayed time to relapse vs placebo (P?=?.035; hazard ratio, 3.08; 95% CI, 1.08-8.80). Symptomatic control and patient functioning were maintained in the PP3M group but significantly worsened in the placebo group. There were no unexpected tolerability findings. CONCLUSIONS:PP3M reduced relapse risk and maintained symptomatic and functional improvements compared with placebo in patients with early illness schizophrenia.
