Pediatric Trials Network Long-term Antipsychotic Pediatric Safety Trial (LAPS) NICHD-2016-LAP01 Phase 4 Trial
The purpose is to evaluate the long-term pathologic weight changes associated with multi-year
risperidone or aripiprazole therapy in 3 - <18-year-old children, who have varying durations
of prior antipsychotic drug exposure from the start of study Month 0 (M0). This is critical
because children appear to have greater vulnerability to antipsychotic-associated weight gain
than adults, and obesity has significant effects on morbidity and mortality.

because children appear to have greater vulnerability to antipsychotic-associated weight gain
than adults, and obesity has significant effects on morbidity and mortality.
Prospective, multi-site, Phase 4, longitudinal observational study designed to systematically
collect robust longitudinal post-marketing safety and quality of life data about multi-year
pediatric treatment with risperidone or aripiprazole. Screening may occur for up to 37 days
prior to enrollment. Assessments will occur at in-person visits planned at months 0, 6, 12,
18 and 24, and at unscheduled, in-person visits that study staff request when the participant
switches or stops antipsychotic monotherapy with risperidone or aripiprazole, adds or stops
treatment with a weight modifying agent, becomes pregnant, chooses to withdraw from the study
prematurely or, has an ongoing Serious Adverse Event (SAE) that requires further assessment.
Monthly remote interim contacts occurring between in-person visits will monitor for changes
(other than dose related) in antipsychotic therapy or weight modifying treatments, potential
SAEs, and potential pregnancy. The participant, his/her parent/guardian, and the
participant's personal psychotropic- prescribing medical provider (PPPMP) will make any and
all decisions related to antipsychotic medications; any other medications; and the
participant's current mental state, developmental/psychiatric condition, and level of risk
for potential harm to self or others independent of the study procedures and assessments.
Study staff (SS) will share all lab results and changes in the participant's AEs or clinical
presentation, which the study medical clinician (SMC) considers medically concerning based on
the participant's assessment during in-person visits, with the participant's PPPMP. If an
emergency safety concern is evident during an in-person visit, the SMC will immediately
assess the participant, following medical standard-of- care procedures, to determine whether
the participant is safe to leave the clinic or requires additional emergency care. If new or
worsening symptoms are reported by the participant or parent/guardian during remote interim
contacts, the participant and/or parent/guardian will be instructed to contact the PPPMP
directly.
