Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to measure the effectiveness and assess the safety of different dosages from 3 mgday to 12 mgday of the antipsychotic paliperidone extended-release ER in patients who are experiencing an acute episode of schizoaffective disorder
Detailed Description: Schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder are closely related in terms of symptoms coexisting conditions and genetic risk In previous studies in patients with schizophrenia treatment with paliperidone extended-release ER improved psychotic symptoms as well as mood symptoms evaluated by anxietydepression and hostilityexcitement Positive and Negative Symptoms of Schizophrenia PANSS factor scores Therefore paliperidone ER may also be effective in treating symptoms of schizoaffective disorder Paliperidones limited potential for drug-drug interaction is particularly important in this patient population in which multiple drug therapy is relatively common This multicenter double-blind neither the patient nor the physician knows whether drug or placebo is being taken or at what dosage randomized patients are assigned different treatments based on chance placebo-controlled parallel-group study is designed to examine the effectiveness and safety of paliperidone ER in adult patients with schizoaffective disorder who are experiencing an acute episode of this disorder Patients in the study will be randomly assigned to 1 of 2 groups to receive 6 weeks of oral treatment with flexible dosages of paliperidone ER 3-12 mgday or with placebo The primary efficacy outcome will be the change from baseline to Week 6 or the last post-randomization assessment during double-blind treatment endpoint in the PANSS total score Safety will be assessed by monitoring adverse events clinical laboratory testing pregnancy testing vital signs measurements physical examination administration of a 12-lead ECG movement disorders side effect scales and the InterSePT Scale for Suicidal Thinking Patients may also choose to participate in a pharmacogenomic DNA analysis The primary study hypothesis is that flexible-dose paliperidone ER is better than placebo on the change from baseline in the PANSS total score in acutely ill patients with schizoaffective disorder Patients will receive study drug by mouth for a total of 43 days Beginning on Day 1 patients will take either placebo or paliperidone ER 6 mgday After day 4 dosages may be adjusted at defined intervals to a dosage between 3 mgday and 12 mgday inclusive
