Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
自閉症スペクトラム障害(ASD)では、衝動行為・自傷・パニックなどの併存症がしばしばみられ、患者本人およびその家族のQOL を大きく阻害する。非定型抗精神病薬の一つであるAripiprazole は、国外での臨床試験において上記の併存症への有効性が示されているが、本邦における有効性、安全性の検証は行われていない。また、その併存症の改善にいたるメカニズムについて詳細に検討した研究は皆無である。。本研究では、 様々な臨床評価尺度を用いた包括的かつ多角的な症状評価により、aripiprazole の有効性と安全性について検討することを目的とした。29名のASD児・者(male 25, female 4. age range, 6-20 years; mean ± SD age, 11.2 ± 3.4 years) において、12週間にわたりaripiprazoleの効果をAberrant Behavior Checklist (ABC)を用いて詳細に評価した。 結果:Twenty eight subjects received a mean initial and final aripiprazole dosage of 2.36 ± 0.95 mg/day , 2.87 ± 1.36 mg/day, respectively. The mean scores of the ABC-I at baseline and end point were 18.10 and 10.07, respectively (p <0.01). No significant changes in vital signs, electrocardiogram, or laboratory measures occurred. Body mass index (BMI) increased from a mean value of 18.12 at baseline to 19.23 at end point (p < 0.01).⇒The results suggest that low dose aripiprazole may be effectiveand well tolerated for irritability in subjects with ASD. However, significant increase of BMI was observed, which suggests the potential metabolic adverse effects even when using low dose aripiprazole. Additional long-term controlled studies are needed to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of low dose aripiprazole in subjects with ASD.
