Abilify Maintena
Subjects will be switched to Abilify Maintena (Aripiprazole) LAI monthly doses of 400mg, 300mg, 200mg or 160mg and have their sexual functioning reevaluated over a 3 month period to determine if there is any significant sexual functioning improvement.
|
Drug: Abilify Maintena
For subjects who meet inclusion/exclusion criteria for this study a switch from Palliperidone Palmitate or Risperidone injectable will be made to Abilify Maintena for a 3 month period to determine if there are changes in sexual dysfunction ratings over this time period
Other Name: Aripiprazole |
- Change in Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale (ASEX) Score [ Time Frame: Baseline and 12 weeks ]Subjects enrolled in this study will be followed for an average of about 5 months. The ASEX will be done at screening to ensure subjects meet criteria for sexual dysfunction as defined by the scale. In addition subjects must remember at least a 2 point change in the scale since starting Invega Sustenna or Risperdal Consta. Subjects must also score no greater than or equal to 25 on the scale to ensure a baseline of minimal sexual activity. The primary outcome of the study is the change in ASEX score from Baseline to Endpoint. Total scores range from 5 - 30 with the higher scores indicating more sexual dysfunction.
- Prolactin Concentrations ng/ml (Normal Range 4.0 - 15.2ng/ml) [ Time Frame: Baseline and Endpoint average of about 5 months ]Subjects enrolled in this study will be followed for an average of about 5 months. Serum prolactin concentrations will be measured to assess change from Baseline to Endpoint
