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
- To study the differences in weight gain one year after start of treatment
- To compare the drug effectivity between the groups, based on severity of irritability and aggression as measured by the Aberrant Behavior Checklist (ABC).
- 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
| # | Title | Allocation | Blinding | Roles blinded | Arms |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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. |

Endpoints
Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)
