Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Efficacy, Safety, Pharmacodynamic, Pharmacokinetic

Our goal is to study the effectivity of therapeutic drug monitoring to prevent or mitigate side-effects of risperidone and aripiprazole use in children and adolescents.
To this end we will study the differences in weight gain six months after start of treatment with risperidone or aripiprazole between a group of children receiving therapeutic drug monitoring based dosing advice and a group of children receiving risperidone or aripiprazole according to standard clinical care.

Secondary objectives 3

  1. To study the differences in weight gain one year after start of treatment
  2. To compare the drug effectivity between the groups, based on severity of irritability and aggression as measured by the Aberrant Behavior Checklist (ABC).
  3. To compare the following safety parameters between the groups: levels of glucose, cholesterol, lipoproteins and triglycerides; the hormones ghrelin, prolactin and leptin as well the level of extrapyramidal side effects as measured by the Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS), and quality of life, measured using the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL), EuroQol-5D-Y (EQ-5D-Y), and Treatment Inventory of Costs in Patients with psychiatric disorders (TIC-P).

Autism spectrum disorder

Study design 1 period

#TitleAllocationBlindingRoles blindedArms
1 TDM or CAU
Patients will be randomised to receive therapeutic drug monitoring or care as usual (CAU), which does not include therapeutic drug monitoring
Randomised Controlled None Therapeutic drug monitoring: In the TDM arm, trough drug plasma levels will be measured by means of DBS 4 and 10 weeks after start of antipsychotic treatment, in steady state. A tailored advice for dose adjustment will be given to the psychiatrist guided by a standardized, laboratory hospital pharmacist managed, PK/PD-model based dosing program (InsightRX®).
Care As Usual: In the CAU arm no dosing recommendations will be given.

Eligibility criteria

Principal inclusion / exclusion criteria as submitted by sponsor

Inclusion criteria 1

  1.  Age 6 to 18 years  Documented clinical diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder according to DSM IV or DSM V and comorbid behavioural problems  To start treatment with risperidone or aripiprazole

Exclusion criteria 1

  1.  Diabetes type I or II  Congenital or acquired syndrome associated with changes in appetite, body weight or lipid profile (e.g. Prader Willi)  Known history of Long QT syndrome (LQTS), cardiovascular disorders (myocardial infarction or ischaemic heart disease, heart failure, or conduction abnormalities), seizure disorder or oesophageal dysmotility  Pregnancy  Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients

Endpoints

Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)

Primary endpoints 1

  1. Difference between the groups in change in body mass index z-scores (BMI-Z) after 6 months of treatment

Secondary endpoints 9

  1. Difference between the groups in change in body mass index z-scores (BMI-Z) after 12 months of treatment.
  2. Aberrant Behavior Checklist, a parental symptom checklist for assessing problem behaviour in children. The gold standard for measuring the effect of treatment on aggression and irritability in children with autism spectrum disorder
  3. EuroQol-5D Youth. A descriptive system for health-related quality of life states in five dimensions, plus a visual analogue scale.
  4. Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory. A modular instrument aimed at measuring healthrelated quality of life in children and adolescents. It showed excellent reliability and validity in individuals with autism spectrum disorder
  5. Clinical Global Improvement
  6. Treatment Inventory of Costs in Patients with psychiatric disorders. A modular questionnaire aimed at mapping healthcare utilization and the repercussions of psychosocial problems, allowing for the assessment of associated costs.
  7. Levels of glucose, cholesterol, lipoproteins and triglycerides; the hormones ghrelin, prolactin and leptin.
  8. Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale, a clinician administered observational scale aimed at detecting extrapyramidal side effects.
  9. Blood pressure
