About
Fute (Flupentixol) combined with MARTAs (Multiple-Acting Receptor Targeted Antipsychotics) drugs has its clinical efficacy toward positive symptoms and might reduce the metabolic syndrome-related factors in patients. This study is the first clinical trial to explore the treatment of patients with flupentixol combined with MARTAs. However, due to research limitations, the number of patients who participated in the clinical trial is small, and it depends on subsequent larger-scale clinical trials for more in-depth verification.
Full description
Objectives
The effects of adjunctive Fute (Flupentixol) with MARTAs (Multiple-Acting Receptor Targeted Antipsychotics) on the metabolic profiles of patients and clinical efficacy of treatment in schizophrenia.
Methodology
It is expected to be admitted to patients with schizophrenia who are over 20 years old and are being treated with MARTAs antipsychotics due to poor treatment efficacy or significant weight gain after use, poor blood sugar control, and other metabolic syndrome-related problems, but Patients who do not meet the medication standards for diabetes or hyperlipidemia, and are willing to accept additional use of Flupentixol after evaluation by the physician.
To compare whether the original MARTAs dose can be effectively reduced after additional use of Flupentixol for at least 12 weeks, whether the symptoms of psychosis have improved, and whether the various factors of metabolic syndrome have improved.
Number of patients
It is estimated that 30 subjects will be recruited to participate in this clinical trial. This report is an interim report with the results of 15 subjects.
Diagnosis and main criteria for inclusion
Patients suffering from schizophrenia who are over 20 years old and are using MARTAs antipsychotics.
Test product, dose and mode of administration, batch number
Fute F.C. Tablets (Flupentixol), the clinically recommended dosage should be adjusted according to the individual conditions of the patients. Generally speaking, a low dose should be administered at the beginning. Then the dosage is increased according to the treatment response to achieve the appropriate curative effect as soon as possible. The maintenance dose is usually administered as a single dose in the morning, and the maintenance dose is usually 5-20 mg/day.
