Symptomatic and functional outcomes after treatment with paliperidone palmitate 3-month formulation for 52 weeks in patients with clinically stable schizophrenia.

ABSTRACT: Background:Paliperidone palmitate 3-monthly (PP3M) formulation is a long-acting, injectable antipsychotic treatment approved in many countries worldwide for the maintenance treatment of adult patients with schizophrenia. This single-arm, open-label, phase IIIb study evaluated the efficacy and safety of converting patients with schizophrenia stabilized with paliperidone palmitate 1-month (PP1M) to PP3M in a naturalistic clinical setting. Methods:After screening (days -7 to 1), patients were converted from PP1M (50-150 mg eq.) to PP3M (175-525 mg eq.), and entered a 52-week, flexible-dose PP3M treatment period. The primary efficacy endpoint was symptomatic remission (SR) (Andreasen criteria) at last observation carried forward (LOCF) endpoint. Results:Patients (n?=?305) received PP3M, of whom 291 (95.4%) completed the study. Doses of PP3M remained stable during the 12-month treatment period, and changes in dose were uncommon. Overall, 56.8% of patients [95% confidence interval (CI): 51.0, 62.4] achieved SR, and 31.8% achieved both symptomatic and functional remission (Personal and Social Performance scale total score?>?70) at LOCF endpoint. Secondary endpoint results were generally consistent with primary endpoint results. There were improvements in Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale total, subscale and Marder factor scores, and also Clinical Global Impression-Severity and -Change scores from baseline to LOCF endpoint. Carer burden was reduced, and the proportion of patients requiring hospitalization for psychiatric reasons decreased from 13.5% in the 12 months prior to baseline to 4.6% during the treatment period. No new safety signals were identified. Conclusion:Results from this naturalistic study were similar to those observed in previous randomized clinical trials of PP3M and underline the importance of continuous maintenance treatment in patients with schizophrenia.

Project description:PurposeThis pragmatic clinical study aimed to assess goal attainment among patients with schizophrenia treated with paliperidone palmitate 3-monthly (PP3M) and its relation to their level of disability, and whether patients achieved symptomatic remission at the study endpoint.Patients and methodsGoal attainment was assessed as a secondary endpoint using Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS) within a 52-week, prospective, single-arm, non-randomized, open-label, international, multicenter study evaluating the impact of transitioning stable patients with schizophrenia from paliperidone palmitate 1-monthly (PP1M) to PP3M. Additional exploratory analyses were performed to investigate the relationship between disability and functioning as measured by the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS), Version 2.0, symptomatic remission, and goal attainment.ResultsOverall, 305 patients were enrolled, of whom 281 (92.1%) provided GAS data at baseline. Of these, 160 achieved symptomatic remission at the last observation carried forward (LOCF) endpoint. The most common category of goals was "self" related, of which work-related was most frequent. Two-thirds of patients (67.7%) achieved at least one goal at the LOCF endpoint. Goal achievement was positively associated with lower baseline symptoms and symptomatic remission at LOCF endpoint, and with lower WHODAS scores at baseline and LOCF endpoint and greater WHODAS score improvements from baseline. Age, duration of disease, and duration of PP1M treatment before the switch did not impact goal setting and goal attainment. The proportion of patients with remunerated work status increased by 11.3% at LOCF endpoint.ConclusionThe results of this secondary endpoint analysis indicate that continued treatment of patients with schizophrenia with PP3M following stabilization with PP1M may facilitate attainment of patients' personal goals and reduce disability, especially, but not exclusively, in patients with symptomatic remission achieved at LOCF.

Project description:BackgroundThe 3 paliperidone palmitate (PP) long-acting injectable antipsychotic formulations, PP 1-month (PP1M), PP 3-month (PP3M), and PP 6-month (PP6M), have shown to reduce the risk of relapse in schizophrenia. The current phase-4 study constructed external comparator arms (ECAs) using real-world data for PP3M and PP1M and compared relapse prevention rates with PP6M from an open-label extension (OLE) study in adult patients with schizophrenia.MethodsPP6M data were derived from a single-arm, 24-month, OLE study (NCT04072575), which included patients with schizophrenia who completed a 12-month randomized, double-blind, noninferiority, phase-3 study (NCT03345342) without relapse. Patients in the PP3M and PP1M ECAs were identified from the IBM® MarketScan® Multistate Medicaid Database based on similar eligibility criteria as the PP6M cohort.ResultsA total of 178 patients were included in each cohort following propensity score matching. Most patients were men (>70%; mean age: 39-41 years). Time to relapse (primary analysis based on Kaplan-Meier estimates) was significantly delayed in the PP6M cohort (P < .001, log-rank test). The relapse rate was lower in the PP6M cohort (3.9%) vs PP3M (20.2%) and PP1M (29.8%) cohorts. Risk of relapse decreased significantly (P < .001) by 82% for PP6M vs PP3M (HR = 0.18 [95% CI = 0.08 to 0.40]), 89% for PP6M vs PP1M (HR = 0.11 [0.05 to 0.25]), and 35% for PP3M vs PP1M (HR = 0.65 [0.42 to 0.99]; P = .043). Sensitivity analysis confirmed findings from the primary analysis. Although the ECAs were matched to mimic the characteristics of the PP6M cohort, heterogeneity between the groups could exist due to factors including prior study participation, unmeasured confounders, variations in data capture and quality, and completeness of clinical information.ConclusionsIn a clinical trial setting, PP6M significantly delayed time to relapse and demonstrated lower relapse rates compared with PP3M and PP1M treatments in real-world settings among adult patients with schizophrenia.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04072575; EudraCT number: 2018-004532-30.
