Paliperidone ER is a new psychotropic medication for schizophrenia treatment. The studies of 6-week acute treatment and 52-week maintenance treatment showed positive results in patients with schizophrenia and its clinical improvement may start at Day 4. Some second-generation antipsychotics have been found that using the first 2 weeks' treatment results to predict the fourth or sixth week's treatment response is acceptable.
The primary aim of this study is to investigate:
Patients diagnosed with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorders will be enrolled in the 6-week trial. Eligible patients will receive 9mg paliperidone ER first. Then, the dosage of paliperidone could be adjusted two weeks later according to clinical judgement. They will be followed and receive assessment of pharmacokinetics, metabolic parameters ( lipid profiles, glucose, insulin, adiponectin, leptin, and prolactin, etc.), and the treatment response.
