Recruitment Details
Key information relevant to the recruitment process for the overall study, such as dates of the recruitment period and locations
Potential subjects will be identified through referrals that the research program receives for other clinical trials involving the same age population with similar diagnoses. We also plan to access PHI to identify potential subjects and use MIM and the ISD helpdesk to complete hospital review of individuals ages 10-17 taking an antipsychotic.

Pre-Assignment Details
Significant events and approaches for the overall study following participant enrollment, but prior to group assignment
Randomization will be completed using computer generated randomization schedules. In order to preserve adequate sample sizes in the cells, important variables such as pubertal status, concomitant valproic acid, concomitant stimulants, gender, race (Asian/Caucasian vs. Other), and ethnicity (Hispanic/Non-Hispanic) will be examined as covariates.

Reporting Groups
  Description
Co-Treatment With Metformin

metformin, 250mg-2000 mg/day, in BID to TID doses for 26 weeks. Open, flexibly adjusted.

metformin : open dosed, randomly assigned flexible dose treatment with 250-2000mg/day divided BID or TID

Healthy Lifestyle Instruction Group

Healthy lifestyle intervention. Additional meeting at each psychiatric visit to review weight changes, level of physical activity and healthy eating behaviors

healthy lifestyle intervention : additional component to regular psychiatric visits that includes monitoring of lifestyle and eating behaviors.

Elective Monitoring Control Group For subjects who meet study criteria but are not interested in participating in a treatment study, this option for elective monitoring will be available. This group will be provided with psychiatric care, medication management, and weight monitoring and guidance for the duration of the study; however, subjects in this group will not receive any specific weight gain intervention.

Limitations and Caveats
Limitations of the study, such as early termination leading to small numbers of participants analyzed and technical problems with measurement leading to unreliable or uninterpretable data
In terms of study limitations, this research study was only able to enroll a single study participant before the trial was terminated prematurely due to study start-up for a larger, multisite effort examining similar outcome measures.
