1 Atypical antipsychotics and the metabolic syndrome Thomas R. Dekoj, MS3 UIC College of Medicine

2 Antipsychotic uses Schizophrenia and related d/o ~1% Bipolar ~2% used widely in schizophrenia spectrum d/o, bipolar d/o, dementia, psychotic depression, autism, developmental d/o also used in delirium, aggressive behavior, personality d/o, PTSD

3 Metabolic Syndrome: Defined ATP-III Three or more of the following in adults: Obesity (waist circumference) Elevated triglycerides (>150) Hypertension Elevated fasting glucose ~25% of U.S. adults qualify ~50% of schizophrenics may qualify WHO Two or more of the following in adults: Obesity (BMI, waist:hip) Elevated triglycerides (>150 or HDL) Hypertension (>160/>90) Elevated fasting glucose (>110) Microalbuminemia (AER>20) ICD , dysmetabolic syndrome X

4 Cause and effect Hyperinsulinemia/insulin resistance/hyperphagia WEIGHT GAIN Hyperglycemia Excess body weight c abdominal adiposity Hypertension Dyslipidemia DM II CVD Obesity hypercoagulable states, endothelial dysfunction, polycystic ovarian disease Morbidity and mortality: CVA, MI, etc.

5 Increased risk in Psychiatric population Without treatment, increased prevalence of diabetes mellitus II * : schizoaffective (50%) bipolar I (26%) MD (18%) dementia(18%) schizophrenia(13%) (BMI concordance) FDA request for SE label in 2003: Assessment of the relationship between atypical antipsychotic use and glucose abnormalities is complicated by the possibility of an increased background risk of diabetes mellitus in patients with schizophrenia and the increasing incidence of diabetes mellitus in the general population. Presence of schizophrenia increased the mortality of MI by 34% (Druss) * Regenold et al.

6 Antipsychotics and Side Effects Typicals: antagonism haloperidol fluphenazine trifluoperizine thiothixine perphenazine pimozide molindone loxapine chlorpromazine thioridazine mesoridazine dopamine High level EPS Low level EPS Atypicals: olanzapine clozapine risperidone quetiapine ziprasidone aripiprazole dopamine & serotonin weight gain no weight gain

7 Atypical antipsychotics and Metabolic Syndrome I Weight gain Olanzapine Risperidone Quetiapine 27 lbs in the 1 st year (Nemeroff) 16 lbs in 6 mos. (Zuddas) 15.1 lbs in 1 st year (Findling) Diabetes mellitus II: up to 36% of patient on clozapine may develop DMII after 60 months (Henderson et al.) These findings are present in other atypicals as well at similar profile as the tendency toward weight gain Dyslipidemia: There appears to be varying effects of atypicals on cholesterol, but the effects on TG are depicted: Ziprasidone Risperidone Olanzapine Quetiapine Thioridazine Haloperidol Median % Chg -28% -6.7% 31% 18.3% 7.9% -18% (FDA) DKA There is increased evidence that treatment with atypical antipsychotics is associated with an increased incidence of New-onset diabetes mellitus and DKA (Wilson)

8 Atyp anti-ψ and Met. Synd. II list of studies In pediatric pts, treatment caused significant (>7%) weight gain olanzapine 90% n=21 risperidone 42.9% n=21 haloperidol 12.5% n=8 previous neuroleptic hx, dosage, response, illness duration not correlated with weight gain (Ratzoni, Gothelf) Over one year, in pts with autism and MR, Weight gain occurred. (Hellings, Zarcone) 8-12 y/o 8.2 kg kg kg Retrospective, adult pts with MR reported weight gain over two years in 37/39 pts on average of 8.3 kg. Calorie restriction did not lead to weight loss and weight gain and dose are unrelated. (Cohen, Glazewski) In 63 pediatric pts with autism, tx with risperidone increase in weight 5 kg in 6 mo. (corrected for age and gender standards), but that the degree is not correlated with serum leptin levels. (Martin, Scahill, Anderson) In 60 adolescents, over 6 mo. there was an average increase in BMI of 3.67 when tx with ripseridone. There was significant difference between ripseridone and the typicals and there was no correlation with dose and BMI increase. (Kelly, Conley, Love) A retrospective study on 636 adults showed a >7% weight increase in patients tx with antipsychotics (Bobes, Rejas, Garcia-Garcia) olanzapine 45.7% risperidone 36.6% haloperidol 22.4%

9 Antipsychotics and the metabolic syndrome olanzapine clozapine weight gain risperidone quetiapine ziprasidone aripiprazole no weight gain increases in fasting glucose and lipid levels for patients unlinked to weight parameters clozapine olanzapine risperidone weight gain worsening lipid profile + + D risk for diabetes + + D quetiapine aripirazole ziprasidone ++ +/- +/- D - - D - -

10 Specific concerns/risks in pediatric patients Short-term effects medical physical development, future risks psychological emotional effects?????? psychiatric noncompliance Unknown long-term effects medical CVD, DMII, etc. psychological resentment for disease and meds psychiatric noncompliance

11 Practice guidelines and screening -Consideration of risks at prescription -Patient/family education about DKA, hyperglycemia and metabolic syndrome -Baseline and follow-up: baseline 4wk 8wk 12 wk quartrly yearly 5yr History X X Weight (BMI) X X X X X Waist X X Blood Pressure X X X Fast glucose X X X Fasting lipid X X X -Referral to specialized services as needed consider medical management -Continued re-evaluation and medications changes at onset of decreasing likelihood of favorable long-term risk:benefit ratio

12 Conclusions -Long-term therapy must be assumed in many cases -Medication choice is critical -Benefit to risk ratio -Perhaps metabolic syndrome and psychosis can be further linked in an effort to elucidate their causes and find more effective treatment for both disorders Estimations about clozapine to ponder: 492/100,000 patients will be saved from suicide with antipsychotics 416/100,000 will die of the increased risk of CVD (based on Framingham heart study due to weight gain alone)
