Study Summary

The primary aims of this study are to assess tolerability of ziprasidone dose escalation to 320 milligrams per day (mg/d) compared to continued standard treatment (placebo) as measured by the Side Effect Checklist, Simpson Angus Scale for Extrapyramidal Symptoms (SAS), Barnes Akathisia Scale (BAS), serum prolactin concentrations, vital signs, electrocardiogram (EKG) and completion rates and to assess whether ziprasidone dose escalation improves overall psychopathology compared to continued standard treatment as measured by the change from baseline in the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score and response rates as defined by a 20% or greater reduction in PANSS total score. The secondary aims of this study are to assess whether ziprasidone dose escalation improves psychotic symptoms compared to continued standard treatment as measured by the Positive Symptom Subscale of the PANSS, to assess whether ziprasidone dose escalation improves negative symptoms compared to standard treatment as measured by the Negative Symptom Subscale of the PANSS, to assess whether ziprasidone dose escalation improves depressive symptoms compared to continued standard treatment as measured by the Calgary Depression Rating Scale (CDRS), and to assess whether ziprasidone dose escalation improves overall functioning with the Clinical Global Impression - Severity (CGI-S), Clinical Global Impression - Improvement (CGI-I), Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) and the Schizophrenia Cognition Rating Scale (SCoRS).

Primary Outcome

Side effects were tracked using the Side Effect Checklist for ziprasidone, which is a well-validated 17 item scale that records the presence or absence of side effects. Total number of side effect events is reported here.
