Safety and efficacy of aripiprazole 2-month ready-to-use 960 mg: secondary analysis of outcomes in adult patients with bipolar I disorder in a randomized, open-label, parallel-arm, pivotal study. Curr Med Res Opin 2023; 39:1021-1030. [PMID: 37272079 DOI: 10.1080/03007995.2023.2219155] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2023] [Revised: 05/18/2023] [Accepted: 05/25/2023] [Indexed: 06/06/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Aripiprazole 2-month ready-to-use 960 mg (Ari 2MRTU 960) is a new long-acting injectable antipsychotic formulation for administration every 2 months. A 32-week trial evaluated the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of Ari 2MRTU 960 in clinically stable adults with schizophrenia or bipolar I disorder (BP-I) (per DSM-5 criteria). This secondary analysis evaluated the safety and efficacy of Ari 2MRTU 960 in the subpopulation of patients with BP-I. METHODS Patients with BP-I were randomized to receive Ari 2MRTU 960 (n = 40) every 56 ± 2 days (4 injections scheduled) or aripiprazole once-monthly 400 mg (AOM 400; n = 41) every 28 ± 2 days (8 injections scheduled). Data were collected during August 2019-July 2020 across 16 US sites. Primary safety endpoints included reported adverse events (coded by the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities preferred term), injection site reactions (assessments included a Visual Analog Scale [VAS] to evaluate patient-reported injection-site pain), and motoric symptoms. Secondary endpoints for efficacy included change from baseline at Week 32 in the Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS), Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS), Clinical Global Impression - Bipolar Version (CGI-BP), and Subjective Well-being under Neuroleptic Treatment - Short Form (SWN-S) scores, and Clinical Global Impression - Improvement (CGI-I) at Week 32. RESULTS The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) was similar between Ari 2MRTU 960 (82.5% [33/40]) and AOM 400 (87.8% [36/41]; p = .5468). The most frequently reported TEAE was increased weight (Ari 2MRTU 960: 25.0% [10/40]; AOM 400: 26.8% [11/41]; p = 1). Injection-site pain was experienced by more patients in the Ari 2MRTU 960 group (25% [10/40]) versus the AOM 400 group (7.3% [3/41]; p = .0622). Mean (standard deviation [SD]) VAS scores for patient-reported injection-site pain following the last injection were 1.2 (2.07) for Ari 2MRTU 960 group and 1.3 (2.19) for AOM 400 (p = .9479) (VAS scale range 0-100 [no pain-extreme pain]). No notable improvement or decline from baseline was observed in motoric symptoms in either treatment group. Patients in both treatment groups remained clinically stable for the entire 32-week trial duration, with minimal difference between treatment groups in the least squares (LS) mean change from baseline at Week 32 in the YMRS Total (p = .8995), MADRS Total (p = .3185), and CGI-BP scores (p = .8485), and in mean CGI-I score (p = .7960). LS mean change from baseline in SWN-S score was greater for Ari 2MRTU 960 than for AOM 400 at Week 32 (p = .0169). CONCLUSIONS Ari 2MRTU 960 was well tolerated in patients with BP-I, with efficacy similar to AOM 400. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04030143.

Comparative responsiveness of generic versus disorder-specific instruments for depression: An assessment in three longitudinal datasets. Depress Anxiety 2019; 36:93-102. [PMID: 30188602 PMCID: PMC6586043 DOI: 10.1002/da.22809] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2017] [Revised: 04/03/2018] [Accepted: 05/29/2018] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Routine outcome monitoring (ROM) may enhance individual treatment and is also advocated as a means to compare the outcome of different treatment programs or providers. There is debate on the optimal instruments to be used for these separate tasks. METHODS Three sets with longitudinal data from ROM were analyzed with correlational analysis and repeated measures ANOVAs, allowing for a head-to-head comparison of measures regarding their sensitivity to detect change. The responsiveness of three disorder-specific instruments, the Beck Depression Inventory, the Inventory of Depressive Symptoms, and the Mood and Anxiety Symptoms Questionnaire, was compared to three generic instruments, the Symptom Checklist (SCL-90), the Outcome Questionnaire (OQ-45), and the Brief Symptom Inventory, respectively. RESULTS In two of the three datasets, disorder-specific measures were more responsive compared to the total score on generic instruments. Subscale scores for depression embedded within generic instruments are second best and almost match disorder-specific scales in responsiveness. No evidence of a desynchronous response on outcome measures was found. LIMITATIONS The present study compares measures head-to-had, and responsiveness is not assessed against an external criterion, such as clinical recovery. DISCUSSION Disorder-specific measures yield the most precise assessment for individual treatment and are recommended for clinical use. Generic measures may allow for comparisons across diagnostic groups and their embedded subscales approach the responsiveness of disorder-specific measures.

Schizophr Res 2016; 174:126-131. [PMID: 27066860 DOI: 10.1016/j.schres.2016.03.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2015] [Revised: 03/05/2016] [Accepted: 03/10/2016] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND There is increased interest in the impact of new long-acting treatments on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with schizophrenia. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of treatment with subcutaneous injections of RBP-7000, a new sustained-release formulation of risperidone, compared with placebo on health status, subjective well-being, treatment satisfaction, and preference of medicine in subjects with acute schizophrenia. METHODS HRQoL data were derived from an 8-week double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, phase 3 study that assessed efficacy, safety, and tolerability of once monthly RBP-7000 (90mg and 120mg) compared with placebo in subjects with acute schizophrenia (n=337). HRQoL was measured with the EuroQol EQ-5D-5L, well-being using the Neuroleptic Treatment-Short Version (SWN-S), satisfaction using the Medication Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ), and preference using the Preference of Medicine Questionnaire (POM). RESULTS The EQ-5D-5L VAS increased significantly in the RBP-7000 120mg group compared to Placebo (p=0.0212). In RBP-7000 120mg, subjects reported significant improvements in SWN-S physical functioning (p=0.0093), social integration (p=0.0368), and total score (p=0.0395). Subjects were significantly more satisfied with RBP-7000 versus placebo (90mg p=0.0009, 120mg p=0.0006) and preferred RBP-7000 over their previous medication (90mg p<0.0001, 120mg p=0.0619). CONCLUSIONS Significantly greater improvements in HRQoL and overall well-being were demonstrated in patients randomized to RBP-7000 compared to placebo. The effect was more pronounced in the RBP-7000 120mg group. Patient satisfaction improved significantly and patient preference for their medicine favored RBP-7000 90mg and 120mg versus Placebo.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to refine the 20-item Subjective Well-Being under Neuroleptic Treatment Scale (SWN-20) using the Rasch rating model to validate measurements of subjective well-being in patients with schizophrenia undergoing antipsychotic treatment. METHODS In total, 854 (403 males, 451 females) inpatients (n=213) and outpatients (n=641) with schizophrenia participated in this study, which was designed as an open-label investigation of paliperidone extended release. The participants completed the Korean version of the SWN-20 themselves. Refinement of the Korean version of the SWN-20 was accomplished using the Rasch rating model. RESULTS Infit and outfit statistics for all 20 items satisfied the criterion for construct validity. Second, all items except items 2 and 20 had suitable point-measure correlations, reflecting content validity. Third, item characteristic curves indicated that roughly 18 items were evenly distributed along the person ability continuum. Finally, option analysis of the category characteristics showed that categories 3 and 4 in the SWN-20 response format were unnecessary. CONCLUSIONS We offer several recommendations for improving the SWN-20: (a) items 2 and 20 should be omitted to ensure construct validity; (b) easier items would be added related to the person ability estimates in the process of validating a short form of the SWN scale based on item response theory; and (c) the number of response categories should be reduced for schizophrenic patients.

Abstract
Bladder cancer is a common type of genitourinary cancer, and radical cystectomy with urinary diversion is considered to be the most effective local treatment for invasive bladder cancer. In order to assess the functional results and health-related quality of life (QOL) in bladder cancer patients with an orthotopic neobladder, and to provide a reasonable basis for the evaluation of urinary diversion in situ, we conducted a study on 96 neobladder patients. In December, 2011, questionnaires were mailed to 96 patients that had undergone urinary diversion surgery between January, 2007 and December, 2009. The questionnaire included the validated health-related QOL questionnaire and the MOS 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36). We compared the functional results between patients with an orthotopic neobladder and those with other types of urinary diversion at 6, 12 and 24 months after surgery. Data from 82 patients (54 with orthotopic and 28 with non-orthotopic urinary diversion) were included in the analysis. The SF-36 patient scores following orthotopic urinary diversion were significantly higher than those following non-orthotopic urinary diversion. The majority of patients with orthotopic urinary diversion considered themselves as healthy and their scores of total health were higher compared to those of patients with non-orthotopic urinary diversion. However, there were no differences in the scores of physical functioning between patients with orthotopic and those with non-orthotopic urinary diversion. Our findings regarding health-related QOL and the frequency of complications in the orthotopic and the non-orthotopic urinary diversion groups were similar. However, the mental health of patients with orthotopic urinary diversion was more easily restored compared to that of patients with non-orthotopic urinary diversion, which reduced their overall recovery time.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the 20-item version of the Subjective Well-being Under Neuroleptic Treatment Scale (SWN) in patients, their siblings and parents and in healthy controls. In order to study heritability of subjective well-being, assessment in unaffected relatives and healthy controls is necessary. Data were obtained from the Dutch GROUP study (Genetic Risk and Outcome of Psychosis), a large cohort study on non-affective psychotic disorders incorporating patients, their relatives and healthy controls. The SWN scale and other relevant assessments were completed by 545 schizophrenia patients, 541 siblings, 75 parents, and 280 healthy controls. Reliability within the four groups ranged between Cronbach's alpha 0.88 and 0.92. Factor analysis indicated a single factor structure of the SWN scale, which makes only SWN total scores relevant.The WHO-Quality of Life psychological domain correlated highly with SWN total scores in all groups. Subclinical psychotic experiences were found to be associated with SWN total scores in relatives and healthy controls, supporting the psychosis continuum concept. The 20-item SWN scale is a reliable measure for subjective well-being that can also be used in relatives and healthy controls to investigate genetic and psychological dispositions of subjective well-being.

Abstract
PURPOSE The primary aim of this study was to assess the range of attitudes towards antipsychotic treatment at hospital discharge in patients with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. The secondary aim was to analyze the relationship between patients' attitudes and sociodemographic and clinical parameters. PATIENTS AND METHODS A cross-sectional study with a sample of patients admitted due to acute exacerbation of schizophrenia or a manic episode was conducted. Attitude towards pharmacological treatment at discharge was assessed with the 10-item Drug Attitude Inventory (DAI-10). Logistic regression was used to determine significant variables associated with attitude to medication. RESULTS Eighty-six patients were included in the study. The mean age was 43.1 years (standard deviation [SD] 12.1), and 55.8% were males. Twenty-six percent of the patients presented a negative attitude towards antipsychotic treatment (mean DAI-10 score of -4.7, SD 2.7). Most of them had a diagnosis of schizophrenia. Multivariate analysis showed that poor insight into illness and a greater number of previous acute episodes was significantly associated with a negative attitude towards medication at discharge (odds ratio 1.68 and 1.18, respectively). CONCLUSION Insight and clinical stability prior to admission were related to patients' attitude towards antipsychotic treatment at hospital discharge among patients with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. The identification of factors related to the attitude towards medication would offer an improved opportunity for clinicians to select patients eligible for prophylactic adherence-focused interventions.
