[PMID: 38954317 PMCID: PMC11258069 DOI: 10.1007/s40263-024-01102-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 06/06/2024] [Indexed: 07/04/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND TV-46000 is a long-acting subcutaneous antipsychotic (LASCA) formulation of risperidone that is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults. In the phase 3, randomized, double-blind RIsperidone Subcutaneous Extended-release (RISE) study, TV-46000 once monthly (q1m) and once every 2 months (q2m) significantly prolonged time to impending relapse compared with placebo [5.0-fold (q1m) and 2.7-fold (q2m)]. This phase 3, randomized, double-blind Safety in Humans of TV-46000 subcutaneous INjection Evaluation (SHINE) study was designed to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability, and exposure of TV-46000 in schizophrenia. METHODS Patients who completed RISE without relapse (rollover) or who were newly recruited (de novo) were eligible for the SHINE study. Patients were initially stabilized on oral risperidone for 12 weeks (completed in RISE for rollover, or in SHINE for de novo). Patients in the de novo cohort and patients who received placebo in RISE were randomized 1:1 in SHINE to receive TV-46000 q1m or q2m for up to 56 weeks. Primary endpoint for SHINE was frequency of reported adverse events (AEs); event rates [ER; events per 100 patient-years (PYs)] were calculated for each AE by patients upon general questioning. RESULTS Overall, 336 patients were randomized in SHINE [TV-46000 q1m, n = 174; TV-46000 q2m, n = 162; of these, de novo, n = 109 and rollover, n = 227 (n = 172 patients were treated and n = 55 received placebo)]. A total of 334 patients were evaluated for safety [q1m, n = 172 (PY = 97.8); q2m, n = 162 (PY = 104.5)]. Proportions of patients (ER) with ≥ 1 AE and ≥ 1 treatment-related AE were 37% (180.0) and 21% (84.9) for TV-46000 q1m and 46% (157.9) and 20% (70.8) for TV-46000 q2m, respectively. Frequent treatment-related AEs [≥ 3% of patients in either group; proportion of patients (ER)] were injection site pain [q1m, 5% (24.5); q2m, 4% (22.0)] and injection site nodule [q1m, 2% (9.2); q2m, 6% (12.4)]. The proportions of patients with serious AEs was 5% for TV-46000 q1m and 7% for TV-46000 q2m; serious AEs reported for ≥ 2 patients overall were worsening schizophrenia [q1m, n = 1 (< 1%; ER, 1.02); q2m, n = 2 (1%; ER, 1.91)] and hyperglycemia [q1m, n = 1 (< 1%; ER, 1.02); q2m, n = 1 (< 1%; ER, 0.96)]. Of three reported deaths, none were related to treatment. Overall, eight patients discontinued treatment because of AEs. Similar or somewhat lower rates of AEs were reported for patients who rolled over from TV-46000 treatment compared with those who had no prior TV-46000 treatment (de novo and placebo rollover). Most AEs related to injection site reactions were mild; no patient had a severe reaction. CONCLUSION Results from this long-term safety study add to the favorable safety profiles of TV-46000 q1m and q2m, consistent with other formulations of risperidone and previous studies with TV-46000.

Efficacy, acceptability and side-effects of oral versus long-acting- injectables antipsychotics: Systematic review and network meta-analysis. Eur Neuropsychopharmacol 2024; 83:11-18. [PMID: 38490016 DOI: 10.1016/j.euroneuro.2024.03.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2024] [Revised: 03/03/2024] [Accepted: 03/06/2024] [Indexed: 03/17/2024]
Abstract
Long-acting injectable antipsychotics (LAIs) are primarily used for relapse prevention, but in some settings and situations, they may also be useful for acute treatment of schizophrenia. We conducted a systematic review and frequentist network meta-analysis of randomized-controlled trials (RCTs), focusing on adult patients in the acute phase of schizophrenia. Interventions were risperidone, paliperidone, aripiprazole, olanzapine, and placebo, administered either orally or as LAI. We synthesized data on overall symptoms, complemented by 17 other efficacy and tolerability outcomes. Confidence in the evidence was assessed with the Confidence-in-Network-Meta-Analysis-framework (CINeMA). We included 115 RCTs with 25,550 participants. All drugs were significantly more efficacious than placebo with the following standardized mean differences and their 95 % confidence intervals: olanzapine LAI -0.66 [-1.00; -0.33], risperidone LAI -0.59[-0.73;-0.46], olanzapine oral -0.55[-0.62;-0.48], aripiprazole LAI -0.54[-0.71; -0.37], risperidone oral -0.48[-0.55;-0.41], paliperidone oral -0.47[-0.58;-0.37], paliperidone LAI -0.45[-0.57;-0.33], aripiprazole oral -0.40[-0.50; -0.31]. There were no significant efficacy differences between LAIs and oral formulations. Sensitivity analyses of the primary outcome overall symptoms largely confirmed these findings. Moreover, some side effects were less frequent under LAIs than under their oral counterparts. Confidence in the evidence was moderate for most comparisons. LAIs are efficacious for acute schizophrenia and may have some benefits compared to oral formulations in terms of side effects. These findings assist clinicians with insights to weigh the risks and benefits between oral and injectable agents when treating patients in the acute phase.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The hypothalamus is central to many hormonal and autonomous nervous system pathways. Emerging evidence indicates that these pathways may be disrupted in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Yet, few studies have examined the volumes of hypothalamic subunits in these patient groups. We compared hypothalamic subunit volumes in individuals with psychotic disorders to healthy controls. STUDY DESIGN We included 344 patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SCZ), 340 patients with bipolar disorders (BPD), and 684 age- and-sex-matched healthy controls (CTR). Total hypothalamus and five hypothalamic subunit volumes were extracted from T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using an automated Bayesian segmentation method. Regression models, corrected for age, age2, sex, and segmentation-based intracranial volume (sbTIV), were used to examine diagnostic group differences, interactions with sex, and associations with clinical symptoms, antipsychotic medication, antidepressants and mood stabilizers. STUDY RESULTS SCZ had larger volumes in the left inferior tubular subunit and smaller right anterior-inferior, right anterior-superior, and right posterior hypothalamic subunits compared to CTR. BPD did not differ significantly from CTR for any hypothalamic subunit volume, however, there was a significant sex-by-diagnosis interaction. Analyses stratified by sex showed smaller right hypothalamus and right posterior subunit volumes in male patients, but not female patients, relative to same-sex controls. There was a significant association between BPD currently taking antipsychotic medication and the left inferior tubular subunits volumes. CONCLUSIONS Our results show regional-specific alterations in hypothalamus subunit volumes in individuals with SCZ, with relevance to HPA-axis dysregulation, circadian rhythm disruption, and cognition impairment.

Antipsychotic Use and Risk of Breast Cancer in Women With Severe Mental Illness: Replication of a Nationwide Nested Case-Control Database Study. Schizophr Bull 2024:sbae058.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND HYPOTHESIS Breast cancer is more prevalent in women with severe mental illness than in the general population, and use of prolactin-increasing antipsychotics may be a contributing factor. STUDY DESIGN A nested case-control study was conducted using the Swedish nationwide registers (inpatient/outpatient care, sickness absence, disability pension, prescribed drugs, cancers). All women aged 18-85 years with schizophrenia/schizoaffective/other nonaffective psychotic disorder/bipolar disorder and breast cancer (cases) were matched for age, primary psychiatric diagnosis, and disease duration with five women without cancer (controls). The association between cumulative exposure to prolactin-increasing/prolactin-sparing antipsychotics and breast cancer was analyzed using conditional logistic regression, adjusted for comorbidities and co-medications. STUDY RESULTS Among 132 061 women, 1642 (1.24%) developed breast cancer between 2010 and 2021, at a mean age of 63.3 ± 11.8 years. Compared with 8173 matched controls, the odds of breast cancer increased in women with prior exposure to prolactin-increasing antipsychotics for 1-4 years (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 1.20, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.03-1.41), and for ≥ 5 years (aOR = 1.47, 95%CI = 1.26-1.71). There were no increased or decreased odds of breast cancer with exposure to prolactin-sparing antipsychotics of either 1-4 years (aOR = 1.17, 95%CI = 0.98-1.40) or ≥5 years (aOR = 0.99, 95%CI = 0.78-1.26). The results were consistent across all sensitivity analyses (ie, according to different age groups, cancer types, and primary psychiatric diagnosis). CONCLUSIONS Although causality remains uncertain, exposure to prolactin-elevating antipsychotics for ≥ 1 year was associated with increased odds of breast cancer in women with severe mental illness. When prescribing antipsychotics, a shared decision-making process should consider individual risk factors for breast cancer.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence has supported the implementation of dance/movement therapy (DMT) as a promising intervention for patients with schizophrenia (SCZ). However, its effect on body weight and metabolic profile in SCZ remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the outcome of a 12-week DMT session on weight and lipid profile in patients with SCZ using a randomized, single-blinded, controlled trial design. This study encompassed two groups of long-term hospitalized patients with SCZ, who were randomly assigned to the DMT intervention (n = 30) or the treatment as usual (TAU) group (n = 30). Metabolic markers, including weight, body mass index (BMI), fasting glucose, triglycerides, and total cholesterol were measured in both groups at two measurement points (at baseline and the end of the 12-week treatment). We found that DMT intervention significantly decreased body weight (F = 5.5, p = 0.02) and BMI (F = 5.7, p = 0.02) as compared to the TAU group. However, no significance was observed in other metabolic markers, including fasting glucose, triglycerides, and total cholesterol after treatment (all p > 0.05). Our study indicates that a 12-week, 24-session DMT program may be effective in decreasing body weight and BMI in long-term hospitalized patients with SCZ. DMT intervention may be a promising treatment strategy for long-term inpatients in the psychiatric department.

Abstract
The link between sex hormones and schizophrenia has been suspected for over a century; however, scientific evidence supporting the pharmacotherapeutic effects of exogenous estrogen has only started to emerge during the past three decades. Accumulating evidence from epidemiological and basic research suggests that estrogen has a protective effect in women vulnerable to schizophrenia. Such evidence has led multiple researchers to investigate the role of estrogen in schizophrenia and its use in treatment. This narrative review provides an overview of the effects of estrogen as well as summarizes the recent work regarding estrogen as a treatment for schizophrenia, particularly the use of new-generation selective estrogen receptor modulators.

Abstract
The dichotomies of 'typical/atypical' or 'first/second generation' have been employed for several decades to classify antipsychotics, but justification for their use is not clear. In the current analysis we argue that this classification is flawed from both clinical and pharmacological perspectives. We then consider what approach should ideally be employed in both clinical and research settings.

Abstract
This Consensus Statement from an international, multidisciplinary workshop sponsored by the Pituitary Society offers evidence-based graded consensus recommendations and key summary points for clinical practice on the diagnosis and management of prolactinomas. Epidemiology and pathogenesis, clinical presentation of disordered pituitary hormone secretion, assessment of hyperprolactinaemia and biochemical evaluation, optimal use of imaging strategies and disease-related complications are addressed. In-depth discussions present the latest evidence on treatment of prolactinoma, including efficacy, adverse effects and options for withdrawal of dopamine agonist therapy, as well as indications for surgery, preoperative medical therapy and radiation therapy. Management of prolactinoma in special situations is discussed, including cystic lesions, mixed growth hormone-secreting and prolactin-secreting adenomas and giant and aggressive prolactinomas. Furthermore, considerations for pregnancy and fertility are outlined, as well as management of prolactinomas in children and adolescents, patients with an underlying psychiatric disorder, postmenopausal women, transgender individuals and patients with chronic kidney disease. The workshop concluded that, although treatment resistance is rare, there is a need for additional therapeutic options to address clinical challenges in treating these patients and a need to facilitate international registries to enable risk stratification and optimization of therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Side-effects of psychiatric medication impair quality of life and functioning. Furthermore, they contribute to morbidity, mortality, stigma, and poor treatment concordance resulting in relapse of psychiatric illness. Guidelines recommend discussing side-effects with patients when making treatment decisions, but a synthesis of antidepressant and antipsychotic side-effects to guide this process is missing, and considering all side-effects is a complex, multidimensional process. We aimed to create comprehensive databases of antipsychotic and antidepressant side-effects, and a digital tool to support database navigation. METHODS To create the databases, we did an umbrella review of Embase, PsycINFO, and MEDLINE from database inception to June 26, 2023. We included meta-analyses of randomised controlled trials examining antipsychotic monotherapy in the treatment of schizophrenia or antidepressant monotherapy in the treatment of major depressive disorder. We included meta-analyses in adults (aged ≥18 years) that assessed drugs with a common comparator. The search was complemented by a review of national and international guidelines and consensus statements for the treatment of major depressive disorder and schizophrenia in adults. Effect sizes for antipsychotic and antidepressant side-effects were extracted from meta-analyses examining the largest number of drugs. In cases of incomplete meta-analytic coverage, data were imputed on the basis of guideline-derived ordinal rankings or, if imputation was not possible, ordinal scores were extracted. Both meta-analytic and ordinal outcomes were normalised to provide values between 0 and 1. We then constructed a digital tool, the Psymatik Treatment Optimizer, to combine the side-effect databases with side-effect concerns of an individual user, to enable users to select side-effects of concern and the relative degree of concern for each side-effect. Concern weightings and the side-effect databases are synthesised via a multicriteria decision analysis method (technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal situation, or TOPSIS). FINDINGS Of 3724 citations, 14 articles containing 68 meta-analyses of individual side-effects met inclusion criteria. After review of 19 guidelines, seven provided ordinal data. Antipsychotic data were extracted from five studies (11 meta-analyses, n=65 594 patients) and four guidelines, and antidepressant data were extracted from three guidelines. The resultant databases included data on 32 antipsychotics (14 side-effects) and 37 antidepressants (nine side-effects). The databases highlighted the clinical dilemma associated with balancing side-effects, with avoidance of one side-effect (eg, weight gain for antipsychotics) increasing the risk of others (eg, akathisia). To aid with this dilemma, the Psymatik Treatment Optimizer synthesises the side-effect databases with individual user-defined concern weights. After computing up to 5851 pairwise comparisons for antidepressants and 5142 pairwise comparisons for antipsychotics, Psymatik ranks treatments in order of preference for the individual user, with the output presented in a heatmap. INTERPRETATION By facilitating collaborative, personalised, and evidence-based prescribing decisions, the side-effect databases and digital application supports care delivery that is consistent with international regulatory guidance for the treatment of schizophrenia and depression, and it therefore has promise for informing psychiatric practice and improving outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Although these agents are used frequently, prospective data comparing serotonin/dopamine antagonists/partial agonists (SDAs) in youth regarding prolactin levels and sexual adverse effects (SeAEs) are scarce. METHOD Youth aged 4 to 17 years, SDA-naive (≤1 week exposure) or SDA-free for ≥4 weeks were followed for ≤12 weeks on clinician's-choice aripiprazole, olanzapine, quetiapine, or risperidone. Serum prolactin levels, SDA plasma levels, and rating scale-based SeAEs were assessed monthly. RESULTS Altogether, 396 youth (aged 14.0 ± 3.1 years, male participants = 55.1%, mood spectrum disorders = 56.3%, schizophrenia spectrum disorders = 24.0%, aggressive-behavior disorders = 19.7%; SDA-naive = 77.8%) were followed for 10.6 ± 3.5 weeks. Peak prolactin levels/any hyperprolactinemia/triple-upper-limit-of-normal-prolactin level were highest with risperidone (median = 56.1 ng/mL/incidence = 93.5%/44.5%), followed by olanzapine (median = 31.4 ng/mL/incidence = 42.7/76.4%/7.3%), quetiapine (median = 19.5 ng/mL/incidence = 39.7%/2.5%) and aripiprazole (median = 7.1 ng/mL/incidence = 5.8%/0.0%) (all p < .0001), with peak levels at 4 to 5 weeks for risperidone and olanzapine. Altogether, 26.8% had ≥1 newly incident SeAEs (risperidone = 29.4%, quetiapine = 29.0%, olanzapine = 25.5%, aripiprazole = 22.1%, p = .59). The most common SeAEs were menstrual disturbance = 28.0% (risperidone = 35.4%, olanzapine = 26.7%, quetiapine = 24.4% aripiprazole = 23.9%, p = .58), decreased erections = 14.8% (olanzapine = 18.5%, risperidone = 16.1%, quetiapine = 13.6%, aripiprazole = 10.8%, p = .91) and decreased libido = 8.6% (risperidone = 12.5%, olanzapine = 11.9%, quetiapine = 7.9%, aripiprazole = 2.4%, p = .082), with the least frequent being gynecomastia = 7.8% (quetiapine = 9.7%, risperidone = 9.2%, aripiprazole = 7.8%, olanzapine = 2.6%, p = 0.61), galactorrhea = 6.7% (risperidone = 18.8%, quetiapine = 2.4%, olanzapine = 0.0%, aripiprazole = 0.0%, p = .0008), and mastalgia = 5.8% (olanzapine = 7.3%, risperidone = 6.4%, aripiprazole = 5.7%, quetiapine = 3.9%, p = .84). Postpubertal status and female sex were significantly associated with prolactin levels and SeAEs. Serum prolactin levels were rarely associated with SeAEs (16.7% of all analyzed associations), except for the relationship between severe hyperprolactinemia and decreased libido (p = .013) and erectile dysfunction (p = .037) at week 4, and with galactorrhea at week 4 (p = .0040), week 12 (p = .013), and last visit (p < .001). CONCLUSION Risperidone, followed by olanzapine, was associated with the largest prolactin elevations, with little prolactin-elevating effects of quetiapine and, especially, aripiprazole. Except for risperidone-related galactorrhea, SeAEs did not differ significantly across SDAs, and only galactorrhea, decreased libido, and erectile dysfunction were associated with prolactin levels. In youth, SeAEs are not sensitive markers for significantly elevated prolactin levels.

Abstract
Objectives Cognitive impairment in schizophrenia patients with auditory hallucinations is more prominent compared to those without. Our study aimed to investigate the cognitive improvement effects of 10 Hz repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) in schizophrenia with auditory hallucinations. Methods A total of 60 schizophrenic patients with auditory hallucinations in this study were randomly assigned to sham or active group. Both groups received 10 Hz or sham rTMS targeted in left DLPFC for 20 sessions. The Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), the Auditory Hallucination Rating Scale (AHRS), the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS), and the Udvalg for Kliniske Under-sogelser (UKU) side effect scale were used to measure psychiatric symptoms, auditory hallucinations, cognition, and side reaction, respectively. Results Our results indicated that the active group experienced greater improvements in RBANS-total score (P = 0.043) and immediate memory subscale score (P = 0.001). Additionally, the PANSS-total score, negative and positive subscale score were obviously lower in the active group compared to the sham group (all P < 0.050). Furthermore, our study found that the improvement of RBANS-total score was positively associated with the decline of positive factor score, and the improvement of language score in RBANS was positively associated with the reduction in PANSS-total scale, negative and positive subscale score in the real stimulation group (all P < 0.050). Conclusion Our results demonstrated that a four-week intervention of 10 Hz rTMS over the left DLPFC can improve cognition (particularly immediate memory) among schizophrenia patients with auditory hallucinations. Future studies with larger sample size are needful to verify our preliminary findings.

Schizophrenia plausible protective effect of microRNA-137 is potentially related to estrogen and prolactin in female patients. Front Psychiatry 2023; 14:1187111. [PMID: 37680447 PMCID: PMC10482089 DOI: 10.3389/fpsyt.2023.1187111] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2023] [Accepted: 08/03/2023] [Indexed: 09/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a serious chronic mental disorder. Our previous case-control genetic association study has shown that microRNA-137 (miR-137) may only protect females against SCZ. Since estrogen, an important female sex hormone, exerts neuroprotective effects, the relationship between estrogen and miR-137 in the pathophysiology of SCZ was further studied in this study. Methods Genotyping of single-nucleotide polymorphism rs1625579 of miR-137 gene in 1,004 SCZ patients and 896 healthy controls was conducted using the iMLDR assay. The effect of estradiol (E2) on the miR-137 expression was evaluated on the human mammary adenocarcinoma cell line (MCF-7) and the mouse hippocampal neuron cell line (HT22). The relationships between serum E2, prolactin (PRL), and peripheral blood miR-137 were investigated in 41 SCZ patients and 43 healthy controls. The miR-137 and other reference miRNAs were detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative reverse transcription-PCR. Results Based on the well-known SNP rs1625579, the distributions of protective genotypes and alleles of the miR-137 gene were not different between patients and healthy controls but were marginally significantly lower in female patients. E2 upregulated the expression of miR-137 to 2.83 and 1.81 times in MCF-7 and HT22 cells, respectively. Both serum E2 and blood miR-137 were significantly decreased or downregulated in SCZ patients, but they lacked expected positive correlations with each other in both patients and controls. When stratified by sex, blood miR-137 was negatively correlated with serum E2 in female patients. On the other hand, serum PRL was significantly increased in SCZ patients, and the female patients had the highest serum PRL level and a negative correlation between serum PRL and blood miR-137. Conclusion The plausible SCZ-protective effect of miR-137 may be female specific, of which the underlying mechanism may be that E2 upregulates the expression of miR-137. This protective mechanism may also be abrogated by elevated PRL in female patients. These preliminary findings suggest a new genetic/environmental interaction mechanism for E2/miR-137 to protect normal females against SCZ and a novel E2/PRL/miR-137-related pathophysiology of female SCZ, implying some new antipsychotic ways for female patients in future.

Abstract
This study was to investigate the association between sex hormone levels and metabolic syndrome (MetS) risk in female schizophrenia inpatients. In total, 93 female schizophrenia patients were enrolled based on their electronic medical records of hospitalization at the Zigong Psychiatric Research Center, China, between August 2022 to September 2022. Baseline information was collected retrospectively from medical records 6 months before. Logistic regression analysis was applied to assess the potential relationship between sex hormone levels and the risk of developing MetS. 31.2% (29/93) of the total patients, 25.5% (12/47) of the 18-49 age group, and 37.0% (17/46) of the ≥ 50 age group had a history of MetS; the newly-developed MetS prevalence among all female schizophrenia patients was 15.05% (14/93), which was slightly higher but not statistically significant in older patients (age ≥ 50) than in younger patients (age 18-49) (≥ 50 vs. 18-49, 21.74% vs. 8.5%, p = 0.074). Univariate analysis of sex hormone levels and developed MetS discovered that only high prolactin levels correlated with developed MetS in total participants (p = 0.006), especially in older patients (p = 0.004), while estradiol and testosterone levels were not associated. Furthermore, univariate logistic regression analysis of the total participants and with an adjusted model of the ≥ 50 age group confirmed the association of prolactin with MetS in all (OR = 1.016, 95%CI:1.002-1.029, p = 0.023), and older female schizophrenia patients (OR = 1.04, 95%CI: 1.01-1.07, p = 0.008). High serum levels of prolactin in older patients (age ≥ 50) were strongly correlated with the risk of developing MetS among female schizophrenia patients.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Alterations in prolactin and cortisol levels have been reported in antipsychotic naïve patients with first episode psychosis (FEP). However, it has been studied in very small samples, and inter-group variability has never been studied before. OBJECTIVE To provide estimates of standardized mean differences (SMD) and inter-group variability for prolactin, cortisol awakening response (CAR) and morning cortisol concentrations in antipsychotic naïve FEP (AN-FEP) patients and healthy controls (HC). DATA SOURCES BIOSIS, KCI, MEDLINE, Russian Science Citation Index, SciELO, Cochrane, PsycINFO, Web of Science were searched from inception to February 28, 2022. STUDY SELECTION Peer-reviewed cohort studies that reported on prolactin or cortisol blood concentrations in AN- FEP patients and HC were included. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS Study characteristics, means and standard deviations (SD) were extracted from each article. Inter group differences in magnitude of effect were estimated using Hedges g. Inter-group variability was estimated with the coefficient of variation ratio (CVR). In both cases estimates were pooled using random-effects meta-analysis. Differences by study-level characteristics were estimated using meta-regression. PRISMA guideline was followed (No. CRD42022303555). MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Prolactin, CAR and morning cortisol blood concentrations in AN-FEP group in relation to HC group. RESULTS Fourteen studies for prolactin (N = 761 for AN-FEP group, N = 687 for HC group) and twelve studies for morning cortisol (N = 434 for AN-FEP group, N = 528 for HC group) were included. No studies were found in CAR in AN-FEP patients. Mean SMD for prolactin blood concentration was 0.88 (95% CI 0.57, 1.20) for male and 0.56 (95% CI 0.26, 0.87) for female. As a group, AN-FEP presented greater inter-group variability for prolactin levels than HC (CVR=1.28, 95% CI 1.02, 1.62). SMD for morning cortisol concentrations was non-significant: 0.34 (95% CI -0.01, 0.69) and no inter-group variability significant differences were detected: CVR= 1.05 (95% CI 0.91, 1.20). Meta-regression analyses for age and quality were non-significant. Funnel plots did not suggest a publication bias. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Increased prolactin levels were found in AN-FEP patients. A greater inter-group variability in the AN-FEP group suggests the existence of patient subgroups with different prolactin levels. No significant abnormalities were found in morning cortisol levels. Further research is needed to clarify whether prolactin concentrations could be used as an illness biomarker.

Abstract
The most important and widely studied role of prolactin (PRL) is its modulation of stress responses during pregnancy and lactation. PRL acts as a neuropeptide to support physiological reproductive responses. The effects of PRL on the nervous system contribute to a wide range of changes in the female brain during pregnancy and the inhibition of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis. All these changes contribute to the behavioral and physiological adaptations of a young mother to enable reproductive success. PRL-driven brain adaptations are also crucial for regulating maternal emotionality and well-being. Hyperprolactinemia (elevated PRL levels) is a natural and beneficial phenomenon during pregnancy and lactation. However, in other situations, it is often associated with serious endocrine disorders, such as ovulation suppression, which results in a lack of offspring. This introductory example shows how complex this hormone is. In this review, we focus on the different roles of PRL in the body and emphasize the results obtained from animal models of neuropsychiatric disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Low-energy fractures (LEF) are more frequent in people with schizophrenia than the general population, and the role of prolactin-increasing antipsychotics is unknown. STUDY DESIGN We conducted a nested case-control study using Finnish nationwide registers (inpatient, specialized outpatient care, prescription drug purchases). We matched each person with schizophrenia aged 16-85 years and incident LEF (cases) with 5 age/sex/illness duration-matched controls with schizophrenia, but no LEF. We investigated the association between cumulative exposure (duration, and Defined Daily Doses, DDDs) to prolactin-increasing/sparing antipsychotics and LEF. Adjusted conditional logistic regression analyses were performed. Sensitivity analyses were conducted. STUDY RESULTS Out of 61 889 persons with schizophrenia between 1972 and 2014, we included 4960 cases. Compared with 24 451 controls, 4 years or more of exposure to prolactin-increasing antipsychotics was associated with increased risk of LEF (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) from aOR = 1.22, 95%CI = 1.09-1.37 to aOR = 1.38, 95%CI = 1.22-1.57, for 4-< 7 />13 years of exposure, respectively), without a significant association for prolactin-sparing antipsychotics. All cumulative doses higher than 1000 DDDs of prolactin-increasing antipsychotics were associated with LEF (from aOR = 1.21, 95%CI = 1.11-1.33, 1000-<3000 DDDs, to aOR = 1.64, 95%CI = 1.44-1.88, >9000 DDDs). Only higher doses of prolactin-sparing antipsychotics reached statistical significance (aOR = 1.24, 95%CI = 1.01-1.52, 6000-<9000 DDDs, aOR = 1.45, 95%CI = 1.13-1.85, >9000 DDDs). Sensitivity analyses confirmed the main analyses for prolactin-increasing antipsychotics. For prolactin-sparing antipsychotics, significant associations were limited to extreme exposure, major LEF, older age group, and males. CONCLUSIONS Long-term exposure to prolactin-increasing antipsychotics at any dose, and high cumulative doses of prolactin-sparing antipsychotics is associated with significantly increased odds of LEF. Monitoring and addressing hyperprolactinemia is paramount in people with schizophrenia receiving prolactin-increasing antipsychotics.

Co-prescription of aripiprazole on prolactin levels in long-term hospitalized chronic schizophrenic patients with co-morbid type 2 diabetes: A retrospective clinical study. Front Psychiatry 2023; 14:1124691. [PMID: 36816406 PMCID: PMC9933920 DOI: 10.3389/fpsyt.2023.1124691] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2022] [Accepted: 01/20/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND One of the most frequent side effects of atypical antipsychotics is hyperprolactinemia (HPRL), and metformin or aripiprazole co-prescription is regarded as an effective therapy option for reducing prolactin (PRL) levels. However, whether either of the two drugs can reduce PRL levels in patients with long-term hospitalized chronic schizophrenia with co-morbid type 2 diabetes (T2DM) has not been adequately reported. METHODS In our study, long-term hospitalized chronic schizophrenia patients with co-T2DM who were prescribed olanzapine or risperidone as the primary antipsychotic medication were enrolled. A total of 197 of these cases with co-prescribed aripiprazole were set up as the study group (co-Ari group), and the other 204 cases without co-prescribed aripiprazole were set up as the control group (non-Ari group). The two groups' variations in each target parameter were compared, and the variables affecting PRL levels were examined. RESULTS Compared to the non-Ari group, fasting blood glucose (FBG), blood uric acid (UA), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels were significantly higher in the co-Ari group, but there was no difference in PRL levels. Co-prescribing aripiprazole had no impact on PRL levels in all patients with co-T2DM, and aripiprazole dose had no impact on PRL levels in the clinical subgroup of the co-Ari group. CONCLUSION Aripiprazole not only worsened the severity of index disturbances associated to metabolism in long-term hospitalized chronic schizophrenia patients with co-T2DM on metformin-based hypoglycemic medications but also failed to lower PRL levels.

Safety and tolerability of KarXT (xanomeline-trospium) in a phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in patients with schizophrenia. SCHIZOPHRENIA (HEIDELBERG, GERMANY) 2022; 8:109. [PMID: 36463237 PMCID: PMC9719488 DOI: 10.1038/s41537-022-00320-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2022] [Accepted: 11/21/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
KarXT combines xanomeline, an M1/M4 preferring muscarinic agonist with no direct D2 receptor antagonism, with the peripherally restricted anticholinergic trospium. In EMERGENT-1 (NCT03697252), a 5-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 2 study in inpatients with schizophrenia, KarXT met the primary efficacy endpoint, numerous secondary endpoints, and was generally well tolerated. Here, we conducted additional post hoc analyses of safety and tolerability data of KarXT from EMERGENT-1 with a particular focus on adverse events (AEs) that may be associated with muscarinic receptor agonism (nausea or vomiting) or antagonism (dry mouth or constipation). A total of 179 patients received at least one dose of either KarXT (n = 89) or placebo (n = 90) and were included in the analyses. KarXT was associated with a low overall AE burden. The majority of procholinergic and anticholinergic AEs with KarXT were mild, occurred in the first 1-2 weeks of treatment, and were transient with a median duration ranging from 1 day for vomiting to 13 days for dry mouth. No patients in either treatment group discontinued the study due to any procholinergic or anticholinergic AEs. Incidence of somnolence/sedation AEs with KarXT were low and similar to those in the placebo group. KarXT was associated with no significant or clinically relevant changes in body weight, metabolic parameters, or vital signs. KarXT was generally well tolerated with an AE profile consistent with the activity of xanomeline-trospium at muscarinic receptors.

Total Barley Maiya Alkaloids Prevent Increased Prolactin Levels Caused by Antipsychotic Drugs and Reduce Dopamine Receptor D2 via Epigenetic Mechanisms. Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:888522.

Abstract
Background: The dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) plays an important role in the increased prolactin (PRL) levels associated with the pathogenesis of antipsychotic drugs (ADs). Elevated prolactin levels can affect people’s quality of life. Maiya alkaloids has been used to treat diseases associated with high PRL levels. Maiya, is a processed product of the mature fruits of Hordeum vulgare L. (a gramineous plant) after sprouting and drying and also a common Chinese herbal drug used in the clinic, is traditionally used to treat abnormal lactation, and is currently used clinically for the treatment of abnormal PRL levels.Aims: Epigenetic mechanisms can be related to DRD2 expression. We investigated the role of DRD2 methylation in the induction of PRL expression by ADs and the mechanism underlying the effects of total barley maiya alkaloids (TBMA) on this induction.Methods: The methylation rate of DRD2 in 46 people with schizophrenia who took risperidone was detected by MassARRAY sequencing. Humans were long term users of Ris. Seventy Sprague Dawley female rats were divided into seven groups. A rat model of risperidone-induced PRL was established, and the potential protective effects of TBMA and its components [e.g., hordenine (Hor)] on these increased PRL levels were investigated. The PRL concentration was detected by Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. PRL, DRD2, and DNA methyltransferase (DNMT1, DNMT3α, and DNMT3β) protein and mRNA expression were detected by western blotting and real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), respectively. The positive rate of methylation in the DRD2 promoter region of rats was detected by MassARRAY sequencing.Results: Clinical studies showed that the positive rate of DRD2 methylation associated with increased PRL levels induced by ADs was significantly higher than in the normal prolactinemia (NPRL) group. In vivo and vitro, TBMA and Hor inhibited this induction of PRL expression and increased DRD2 expression by inhibiting the expression of the DNMTs.Conclusions: TBMA and hordenine increased DRD2 expression by inhibiting DNMT-dependent DRD2 methylation.

Abstract
The high prevalence of metabolic syndrome in persons with schizophrenia has spurred investigational efforts to study the mechanism beneath its pathophysiology. Early psychosis dysfunction is present across multiple organ systems. On this account, schizophrenia may be a multisystem disorder in which one organ system is predominantly affected and where other organ systems are also concurrently involved. Growing evidence of the overlapping neurobiological profiles of metabolic risk factors and psychiatric symptoms, such as an association with cognitive dysfunction, altered autonomic nervous system regulation, desynchrony in the resting-state default mode network, and shared genetic liability, suggest that metabolic syndrome and schizophrenia are connected via common pathways that are central to schizophrenia pathogenesis, which may be underpinned by oxytocin system dysfunction. Oxytocin, a hormone that involves in the mechanisms of food intake and metabolic homeostasis, may partly explain this piece of the puzzle in the mechanism underlying this association. Given its prosocial and anorexigenic properties, oxytocin has been administered intranasally to investigate its therapeutic potential in schizophrenia and obesity. Although the pathophysiology and mechanisms of oxytocinergic dysfunction in metabolic syndrome and schizophrenia are both complex and it is still too early to draw a conclusion upon, oxytocinergic dysfunction may yield a new mechanistic insight into schizophrenia pathogenesis and treatment.
