Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The project is designed to address the following two primary aims:
  1. To determine whether adjunctive oxytocin is superior to placebo for the treatment of persistent negative symptoms, as measured by the SANS total score, in people with schizophrenia.

  2. To determine whether adjunctive Galantamine is superior to placebo for the treatment of cognitive impairments, as measured by improvement on a composite neurocognitive score in people with schizophrenia.

The investigators will also address the following secondary aims:
  1. To determine whether people with schizophrenia treated with adjunctive oxytocin, compared to placebo, will show greater improvement on markers of negative symptom liability including: social affiliation, facial affect recognition, olfactory discrimination, initiation of smooth pursuit and latency of internally-driven saccades.

  2. To determine whether people with schizophrenia treated with adjunctive Galantamine, compared to placebo, will show greater improvement on markers of cognitive impairment liability including: predictive pursuit, P50 sensory gating and visual-spatial working memory.

The investigators will address the following exploratory aims:
  1. To determine whether changes in markers of negative symptom liability are correlated with changes in SANS total score.

  2. To determine whether changes in markers of cognitive impairment liability are correlated with changes in the composite neurocognitive score.

  3. To determine the response to oxytocin of all cognition domains assessed by the MATRICS battery, and to determine the response to Galantamine of all cognition domains assessed by the MATRICS, which are not included in the primary neurocognitive outcome score.

  4. To determine whether there is a differential response of oxytocin and Galantamine on the SANS total score, composite neurocognitive score, and with the phenotypic measures of negative symptom and cognitive impairment liability.

  5. To determine whether oxytocin and Galantamine are associated with:

  • adverse effects on positive or depressive symptoms;

  • adverse effects on motor symptoms;

  • adverse effects on laboratory and EKG measures;

  • increased occurrence of side effects;

  • social interest that is independent of sexual desire.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms (SANS) Total Score [Every other week for 6 weeks]

    Mean SANS Total Score by Treatment and Week. SANS total score range = 0-85. Higher scores indicate more severe negative symptoms.

  2. Mean Z-Scores for Composite Cognitive Primary Outcome* by Treatment Group and Week [Treatment Week 0 and Week 6]

    * Composite Cognitive Primary Outcome = mean of z-scores from the Brief Assessment of Cognition in Schizophrenia (BACS) Symbol Digit test, the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test (HVLT), and the Rapid Visual Information Processing test (RVIP). Z-scores for each test were calculated as Z = (individual patient score - pooled baseline mean)/(pooled baseline standard deviation). Higher values of the composite score represent a better outcome.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  6. Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) - Psychosis Score [Every other week for 6 weeks]

    The psychosis score is calculated by adding the scores for scales #4 Conceptual Disorganization, #11 Suspiciousness, #12 Hallucinatory Behavior, and #15 Unusual Thought Content.

  • Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) psychotic factor score (4-items) less or equal to 16

2. Primary Outcome
Title Mean Z-Scores for Composite Cognitive Primary Outcome* by Treatment Group and Week
Description * Composite Cognitive Primary Outcome = mean of z-scores from the Brief Assessment of Cognition in Schizophrenia (BACS) Symbol Digit test, the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test (HVLT), and the Rapid Visual Information Processing test (RVIP). Z-scores for each test were calculated as Z = (individual patient score - pooled baseline mean)/(pooled baseline standard deviation). Higher values of the composite score represent a better outcome.
Time Frame Treatment Week 0 and Week 6

Outcome Measure Data

Analysis Population Description
Five subjects were unable to handle the demands of the Rapid Visual Information Processing (RVIP) test, part of the composite primary outcome measure, and did not provide valid data.

Title Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS)
Description AIMS Total Score: Frequencies of Maximum Within- Participant Increases (worsening) from Baseline by Treatment Group. Total score calculated by adding scores from scales #1-#10. Each scale ranges from "0=None" to "4=Severe". The minimum total AIMS score is 0 and the maximum score is 40. Higher scores indicate a more severe abnormal involuntary movement rating.
Time Frame Treatment Week 0 and Week 6

Title Neurocognitive Assessment Battery (MCCB) - Social Cognition
Description MCCB Social Cognition domain score by week calculated from the Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test- managing emotions branch. The domain score scale is 20-80, with higher scores indicating a better outcome.
Time Frame Once at Treatment Week 0 (baseline) and again at Treatment Week 6 (end of treatment).

Outcome Measure Data

Analysis Population Description
Cognitive data was collected at baseline and week 6, so only those participants who got to week 6 appear in cognitive outcome analyses.

Title Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) - Negative
Description Participant reported responses after Brief Role Play rating how they felt during the role plays. Participants rated 12 negative affect items on a scale of 1-5, with 1 being "very slightly or not at all" and 5 being "extremely". The minimum score for this measure is 12 and the maximum score is 60. Higher scores indicate a higher rate of negative affect during the role plays.

Title Reactions to Partner
Description Participant reported responses after Brief Role Play. The Reactions to Partner item was calculated by totaling responses to 7 scales. Each scale score ranges from 1-5, which 1 being "completely agree" and 5 being "completely disagree". The minimum score for this measure is 7 and the maximum score is 35. Higher responses indicate a more negative reaction to their role play partner.

Title Willingness to Interact
Description Participant reported responses after Brief Role Play. The Willingness to Interact item calculated by totaling scores from items 1-6. Each score ranges from 1-5, with 1 being "definitely willing" and 5 being "definitely unwilling". The minimum score for this measure is 6 and the maximum score is 30. Lower scores indicate more willingness to interact with their role play partner again in the future.
