Current Primary Outcome Measures
  • To assess the safety and tolerability of multiple subcutaneous injections of RBP-7000 [Time Frame: Day -14, Day 1, up to Day 106] [Designated as safety issue: Yes]Safety variables to be analyzed are: adverse events, local injection site tolerability, concomitant medications, changes in clinical laboratory results, vital sign measurements, 12-lead electrocardiograms, physical examination results, body weights, and monitoring of extrapyramidal symptoms using neurological and clinical symptom assessments
  • To evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles of risperidone [Time Frame: Day 1, Day 87, up to Day 106] [Designated as safety issue: Yes]To evaluate the pharmacokinetic profiles of risperidone, 9-hydroxyrisperidone, and total active moiety after multiple subcutaneous injections
Current Secondary Outcome Measures
  • To evaluate switch from oral to subcutaneous injection of risperidone [Time Frame: Day -14, Day 1, up to Day 106] [Designated as safety issue: Yes]To evaluate the switch from oral risperidone to RBP-7000 subcutaneous injections for efficacy markers using the positive and negative Syndrome Scale and Clinical Global Impression Scale for Schizophrenia as the primary markers of efficacy
  • To evaluate switch from oral to subcutaneous injection of risperidone [Time Frame: Day -14, Day 1, up to Day 106] [Designated as safety issue: Yes]To evaluate the switch from oral risperidone to RBP-7000 subcutaneous injections for efficacy markers using the Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale for Tardive Dyskinesia, Simpson-Angus Scale, Barnes Akathisia Scale, and Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale

Brief TitleMultiple Ascending Dose Study of the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetic/Efficacy
Official TitlePhase 2A Study as an Open Label, Multiple Ascending Dose With Randomized Subjects to Receive a Single Dose of One of Three Dose Levels
Brief Summary
Evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple subcutaneous injections of various dosages
of risperidone with clinically stable schizophrenia
Detailed Description
This will be an open-label, Phase 2A, multiple ascending dose study in 1 to 3 sites,
designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and PK profile of multiple subcutaneous

subjects with clinically-stable schizophrenia who are on a once daily stable dose of 2mg,
3mg, or 4mg of oral risperidone

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

- Male and female

- > 18 to < 65 years

- Diagnosis of paranoid, residual, or undifferentiated schizophrenia as defined by
DSM-IV-TR criteria

- Status: clinically stable subjects defined as subjects with no hospitalizations
for acute exacerbations within 3 months of screening and screening total PANSS
score < 60

- Subjects who have given written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

- Subjects taking any risperidone sustained release formulation within the 60 days
prior to study screening

- Subjects taking the following concurrent medication/over-the-counter products:

- Inducers or inhibitors of CYP2DD6 within 14 days or 7 half - lives (whichever occurs
last) prior to study screening

- Bupropion, chlorpheniramine, cimetidine, clomipramine, doxepin, or quinidine within
30 days prior to study screening

- Clozapine, phenothiazines, aripiprazole, haloperidol, or any other antipsychotic
other than oral risperidone within 14 days prior to study screening

- Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (e.g., fluoxetine, paroxetine) or
serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (e.g., venlafaxine, desvenlafaxine,
duloxetine) within 30 days prior to study screening

- Opioids or opioid-containing analgesics within 14 days prior to study screening

- Medications, in addition to those listed above, which may be expected to
significantly interfere with the metabolism or excretion of risperidone and/or
9-hydroxyrisperidone, that may be associated with a significant drug interaction with
risperidone, or that may pose a significant risk to subjects' participation in the
study

- Subjects with a history of cancer (with the exception of resected basal cell or
squamous cell carcinoma of the skin) unless they have been disease free for >5 years

- Subjects with another active medical condition or organ disease that may either
compromise subject safety and/or outcome evaluation of the study drug

- Subjects with evidence or history of a significant hepatic disorder that may either
compromise subject safety or interfere with the safety and/or outcome evaluation of
the study drug. Individuals with acute hepatitis (including but not limited to B or
C); or individuals with 1) total bilirubin >1.5x the upper limit oof normal and/or 2)
alanine aminotransferase or aspartate aminotransferase >2x upper limit of normal will
be excluded

- Subjects with hepatitis C antibody and AST, ALT, or alkaline phosphatase >2x and
total bilirubin >1.3 mg/dL will be excluded

- Subjects with a history of renal disease, or a creatinine clearance of less than 80
mL/min (as determined by the Cockcroft Gault formula)

- Subjects with an international normalized ratio >2.0 at screening

- Subjects with corrected QT interval (Bazett's - QTcB) >450 msec (male) or >470 msec
(female) at screening. Subjects with a QTc above these levels due to a benign right
bundle branch block can be included in the study at the discretion of the PI

- Subjects who are known to have AIDS or to be HIV positive

- Subjects with suicidal ideation with intent and plan (C-SSRS affirmative answers to
questions 4 and 5 of the ideation section) or suicide attempts within the last six
months as noted on the C-SSRS, or subjects with uncontrolled depression in the
opinion of the investigator

- Subjects with known diagnosis of type 1 or 2 diabetes or subjects with Hemoglobin A1c
>7.0 at screening

- Subjects who have participated in a clinical trial within 30 days prior to study
screening

- Subjects who meet the DSM-IV-TR criteria for alcohol abuse or dependence within the
