Therefore, it is critically important to investigate placebo effects in this population in order to optimize the design of future clinical trials to mitigate such challenge. To this end, we will combine placebo-controlled double-blind trial data to provide evidence to screen potential placebo responders with schizophrenia. These results will be expected to provide critical insights in the design of future clinical trials in patients with schizophrenia so as to reduce failure of placebo-controlled antipsychotic clinical trials."

Project Title:
Placebo Effects in Schizophrenia
Scientific Abstract:
Background: Response to antipsychotics is often difficult to quantify, which in turn resulted in a number of failed trials in that drugs have not established superiority over placebo treatment. In light of an increasing number of failed antipsychotic trials, it is important to investigate placebo effects in this population in order to optimize the design of future clinical trials.
Objective: Objectives are three-fold: to compare symptom trajectories between placebo and active drug responders to identify demographic and clinical characteristics associated with placebo response or occurrence of side effects in patients with schizophrenia; and to examine whether early placebo improvement is associated with placebo response at the endpoint.
Study Design: A post-hoc analysis of placebo-controlled double-blind trial data.
Participants: Data from participants in the following studies will be used: NCT00077714, NCT00078039, NCT00083668, NCT00085748, NCT00088075, NCT00249132, NCT00334126, NCT00518323, NCT00524043, RIS-USA-1, and RIS-USA-72.
Main Outcome Measures: Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale scores.
Statistical Analysis: First, symptom trajectories between placebo and active drug responders will be compared. Placebo responders will be categorized into subtypes according to their symptom trajectories. Second, optimal criteria for screening of potential placebo responders in a placebo lead-in phase will be investigated. Third, demographic and clinical characteristics of subjects who showed response or side effects with placebo treatment will be characterized.
Brief Project Background and Statement of Project Significance:
Response to psychotropics is often difficult to quantify, which in turn has contributed to a number of failed trials in that drugs have not established superiority over placebo treatment. This may be especially true for antipsychotic clinical trials as symptom improvement with placebo treatment has been increasing since 1960 (Rutherford et al., 2014). In light of an increasing number of failed trials for schizophrenia, it is critically important to investigate placebo effects in this population in order to improve our understanding of placebo effects as well as to optimize the design of future clinical trials to mitigate such challenge.
Recent clinical trials frequently adopt a lead-in phase, in which placebo is given to participants in an effort to exclude placebo responders. However, the criteria adopted for exclusion of such participants have been arbitrary (e.g. a more than 25% total score reduction in the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale [PANSS] or Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale [BPRS]) (Downing et al., 2014; Hamilton et al., 1998) and empiric. Systematic investigation of the magnitude and timing of placebo response and occurrence of side effects in patients with schizophrenia and how it differs from reaction to an active drug treatment would offer us a unique opportunity to shed light on critical issues in clinical trials in schizophrenia.
Mechanisms underlying placebo response are multifactorial and complex; psychological, methodological, and administrative factors are expected to be involved in this phenomenon. Among them, previous studies have focused on certain demographic and clinical characteristics in association with greater placebo response in patients with schizophrenia. For example, male gender and older age are reportedly associated with greater placebo effects (Alphs et al., 2012). Analysis of patient-level data of placebo responders/non-responders from previous clinical trials will allow us to provide more detailed information on demographic and clinical characteristics associated with placebo response, such as individual symptom severity at baseline (e.g. less negative symptoms). Moreover, we could make use of early symptomatic trajectories to predict longer term outcome.
We therefore propose a post-hoc analysis of placebo-controlled double-blind trial data in order to provide evidence to guide systematic screening of potential placebo responders with schizophrenia. First, we will compare symptom trajectories between placebo and active drug responders in acute phase trials. Placebo responders will be categorized into subtypes according to their symptom trajectories. Second, optimal criteria for screening of potential placebo responders in a placebo lead-in phase will be investigated. Third, we will try to characterize demographic and clinical characteristics of subjects who showed response or side effects with placebo treatment, respectively.
These results will be expected to provide critical insights in the design of future clinical trials in patients with schizophrenia so as to reduce failure of placebo-controlled antipsychotic clinical trials in patients with schizophrenia.
Specific Aims of the Project:
The aims of this analysis are three-fold: (1) to compare symptom trajectories between placebo and active drug responders in acute phase trials; (2) to identify demographic and clinical characteristics associated with placebo response or occurrence of side effects in patients with schizophrenia; and (3) to examine whether early placebo improvement at week 1 is associated with placebo response at the endpoint, in order to guide systematic screening of potential placebo responders.

Primary and Secondary Outcome Measure(s) and how they will be categorized/defined for your study:
Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) scores. Response will be defined as a percentage score reduction of 25% or more at endpoint in the PANSS.
Main Predictor/Independent Variable and how it will be categorized/defined for your study:
Age groups (e.g. =60); sex; baseline PANSS positive, negative, and general psychopathology subscale scores, and PANSS Marder 5-Factor scores (Marder et al., 1997); score reductions in PANSS total scores from baseline to week 1.

Therefore, it is critically important to investigate placebo effects in this population in order to optimize the design of future clinical trials to mitigate such challenge. To this end, we will combine placebo-controlled double-blind trial data to provide evidence to screen potential placebo responders with schizophrenia. These results will be expected to provide critical insights in the design of future clinical trials in patients with schizophrenia so as to reduce failure of placebo-controlled antipsychotic clinical trials.
Project Timeline:
The anticipated project start date is the 1st of July, and analysis completion date will be the 31st of August. A manuscript will be drafted by the 31th of October, and it will be submitted for publication by the 31st of December. Results will be reported back to the YODA Project by the 30th of April.
Dissemination Plan:
The manuscript will be submitted to academic journals whose target audiences include psychiatrists, pharmacologists, and general practitioners such as American Journal of Psychiatry, British Journal of Psychiatry, and Journal of Clinical Psychiatry.
