Note to
Psychiatrists:
®Schizophrenia patients
stable (CGI-S ≤3) on
Seroquel®
A global
medical research study is
being conducted to
demonstrate that the
efficacy of the sustained
release formulation (SR) of
Seroquel® is not inferior to
the immediate-release
formulation (IR), and that
stability is maintained when
switching from Seroquel® IR
to SR.
Benefit
to your patient:
- A 4-week run-in
period
will ensure that your
patient is clinically
stable (dose range of
400 mg to 800 mg/day).
Thereafter, the
6-week double-blind
phase of the study
will begin, where
patients will be
assigned to treatment
either with a fixed dose
of quetiapine SR (taken
once daily) or IR (taken
twice daily).
- As part of the
study, Seroquel® IR is
available
for 6 months
after the treatment
period for patients
doing well.
