Invega Sustenna (Paliperidone Palmitate) - Summary

 
 



WARNING: INCREASED MORTALITY IN ELDERLY PATIENTS WITH DEMENTIA-RELATED PSYCHOSIS

Elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis treated with antipsychotic drugs are at an increased risk of death. Analyses of 17 placebo-controlled trials (modal duration of 10 weeks), largely in patients taking atypical antipsychotic drugs, revealed a risk of death in drug-treated patients of between 1.6 to 1.7 times the risk of death in placebo-treated patients. Over the course of a typical 10-week controlled trial, the rate of death in drug-treated patients was about 4.5%, compared to a rate of about 2.6% in the placebo group. Although the causes of death were varied, most of the deaths appeared to be either cardiovascular (e.g., heart failure, sudden death) or infectious (e.g., pneumonia) in nature. Observational studies suggest that, similar to atypical antipsychotic drugs, treatment with conventional antipsychotic drugs may increase mortality. The extent to which the findings of increased mortality in observational studies may be attributed to the antipsychotic drug as opposed to some characteristic(s) of the patients is not clear. INVEGA® SUSTENNA® (paliperidone palmitate) is not approved for the treatment of patients with dementia-related psychosis. [See Warnings and Precautions]

Clinical Trials Related to Invega Sustenna (Paliperidone)

Contrasting the Brain Effects of Risperidone and Invega With Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scanning [Recruiting]
The purpose of this study is to better understand brain function and psychiatric and neurological illness when taking Invega or Risperdal. The objective is to compare the brain effects of Invega to Risperdal in patients with Schizophrenia. This comparison will be evaluated with PET imaging, fMRI, and neurological ratings and assessments.

The Paliperidone ER Observational Study of Economic, Functional, and Clinical Outcomes in Patients With Schizophrenia [Terminated]
The purpose of this study is to examine the long-term economic, functional and clinical outcomes in schizophrenia patients who require a change in antipsychotic treatment, and are changed to either paliperidone extended release (ER) or another oral atypical antipsychotic agent (AAP) including aripiprazole, olanzapine, quetiapine, risperidone, or ziprasidone.

Paliperidone ER(Invega®) on Depressive Symptoms of Schizophrenia Patients [Recruiting]

A Comparative Study to Evaluate the Evolution of Medication Satisfaction and Adherence in Patients Unsatisfied With Current Oral Atypical Antipsychotics by Switching Medication to Paliperidone Palmitate [Completed]
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the change of medication satisfaction measured by Medication Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ) from baseline to endpoint for patients who are switched into paliperidone palmitate, either immediately or in a delayed mode.

A Pharmacokinetic and Safety Study of Paliperidone Palmitate (JNS010) in Participants With Schizophrenia [Completed]
The purpose of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetics (the study of the way a drug enters and leaves the blood and tissues over time) and safety of paliperidone palmitate in participants with schizophrenia (psychiatric disorder with symptoms of emotional instability, detachment from reality, often with delusions and hallucinations, and withdrawal into the self).
