All rights reserved. Learning Objectives • Evaluate recent data regarding the detection of and intervention for ultra high risk state psychosis • Evaluate recent data regarding current antipsychotic therapies with respect to brain volume • Evaluate the mechanisms of and latest clinical data on new and emerging antipsychotics Copyright © 2015 Neuroscience Education Institute. All rights reserved. Case Example: Henry • Henry is a 21-year-old man who has been brought in by his parents because he is not transitioning successfully into independent adult life • Henry has always been aloof and a loner, with "strange ideas and behaviors" • His language development in grade school appeared normal, but he had difficulty reading and was considered learning disabled by third grade • As a child, he was suspected of having ADHD; no response to methylphenidate • As an adolescent, he was thought to have OCD; no response to fluvoxamine or venlafaxine Copyright © 2015 Neuroscience Education Institute. All rights reserved. Patient Intake • Henry graduated from high school and began working at a supermarket • Six months ago, he began to exhibit difficulty functioning, including losing things, trouble following simple directions at work, and disorganization • He displayed deterioration in reading and communication, including using simple language • These impairments led to his dismissal from his job 3 months ago • He lives at home with his parent and does not groom or change his clothes unless prompted by his mother Copyright © 2015 Neuroscience Education Institute. All rights reserved. Patient Intake • Henry has withdrawn from his few high school friends and is not dating • He now avoids all social gatherings and feels that people around him are talking about him • He spends a lot of time sleeping, and he struggles with daily functions Family History – Father: history of learning disabilities, but is a successful small business owner now – Sister: anxiety – 2 maternal uncles: depression Copyright © 2015 Neuroscience Education Institute. All rights reserved. Question 1 Would you consider Henry to be at ultra high risk (UHR) for developing psychosis? 1. Yes 2. No Copyright © 2015 Neuroscience Education Institute. All rights reserved. Ultra High Risk (UHR) Criteria • Attenuated psychotic symptoms, having experienced sub-threshold attenuated psychotic symptoms during the past year • Brief limited intermittent psychotic symptoms, having experienced episodes of frank psychotic symptoms that have not lasted longer than a week and have spontaneously abated • State and trait risk factor, having schizotypal personality disorder or a first-degree relative with a psychotic disorder and having experienced a significant decrease in functioning during the previous year Copyright © 2015 Neuroscience Education Institute. All rights reserved. Basic Symptoms (BS) • Subjectively experienced disturbances of perception, thought processing, language, attention • Distinct from classic psychotic symptoms (independent of abnormal thought content; insight is intact) • COGDIS: Cognitive disturbances (e.g., thought interference, disturbances of abstract thinking, receptive speech disturbances, etc.) • COPER: cognitive disturbances and a few predictive perceptive disturbances – Basic symptoms are currently assessed with the Schizophrenia Proneness Instrument, Adult (SPI-A) or Child & Youth version (SPI-CY) Schultze-lutter F, Michel C, Schmidt SJ, et al. Eur Psychiatry. 2015;30(3):405-16. Copyright © 2015 Neuroscience Education Institute. All rights reserved. Prodromal Phase Premorbid Risk Early Psychosis Basic Symptoms Criteria UHR Criteria: Genetic risk and functional decline UHR Criteria: Attenuated psychotic symptoms (APS) Psychotic symptoms that meet the threshold for an ICD or DSM diagnosis of psychosis Symptom Severity UHR Criteria: Brief limited intermittent psychotic symptoms (BLIPS) Attenuated psychotic symptoms (APS) Brief limited intermittent psychotic symptoms (BLIPS) Basic Symptoms Indicated Prevention Treatment Fusar-poli P, Borgwardt S, Bechdolf A, et al. JAMA Psychiatry. 2013;70(1):107-20. European Psychiatric Association (EPA) Guidance on the Early Detection of High Risk Recommendation 1: 3 clinically high-risk (CHR) criteria should be alternatively used in the early detection of psychosis – At least 1 attenuated psychotic symptom that meets the additional requirements of either SIPS or early CAARMS – At least 2 self-experienced and self-reported cognitive basic symptoms according to the SPI-A – At least 1 transient psychotic symptom that meets the additional requirements of either SIPS or early CAARMS CAARMS: Comprehensive Assessment of At-Risk Mental State. Schultze-lutter F, Michel C, Schmidt SJ, et al. Eur Psychiatry. 2015;30(3):405-16. Copyright © 2015 Neuroscience Education Institute. All rights reserved. Question 2 After full assessment, you determine that Henry meets the criteria for UHR of psychosis. Henry's parents are very concerned and ask if this means that he is definitely going to develop a psychotic disorder. What percentage of individuals who meet the criteria for ultra high risk (UHR) transition within 2 years of their first clinical presentation? 1. 5-10% 2. 15-20% 3. 25-35% 4. 40-50% Copyright © 2015 Neuroscience Education Institute. All rights reserved. Speed of Psychosis Progression in UHR Meta-analysis: 2% of UHR individuals are expected to transition 1 month after presentation y = 2.2[e−0.07x] Kempton MJ, et al. Risk. JAMA Psychiatry 2015:622–622. Copyright © 2015 Neuroscience Education Institute. All rights reserved. Risk Progressively Increases for Patients at UHR Meta-analysis suggests that the transition to psychosis in patients at UHR is most likely to occur within the first 2 years, with half of patients who progress doing so within the first 8 months Kempton MJ, et al. JAMA Psychiatry 2015:622–622. Copyright © 2015 Neuroscience Education Institute. All rights reserved. Other Early Detection Considerations • It is not possible to predict with great accuracy who will develop schizophrenia, but certain symptoms, such as social withdrawal and cognitive decline, can identify teenagers and young adults at high risk • In the North American Prodrome Longitudinal Study (NAPLS 2), those who transitioned to psychosis differentiated from other groups on unusual thought content, disorganized communication, and overall ratings on disorganized symptoms Addington J1, Liu L, Buchy L et al. J Nerv Ment Dis 2015;203(5):328-35. Schultze-lutter F, Michel C, Schmidt SJ, et al. Eur Psychiatry. 2015;30(3):405-16. Copyright © 2015 Neuroscience Education Institute. All rights reserved. What percentage of individuals who meet the criteria of ultra high risk (UHR) transition within 2 years of their first clinical presentation? 1. 5-10%: Too low 2. 15-22%: The average transition of 6 months to 1 year 3. 25-35%: On average, there is a 29% risk of developing psychosis within 2 years 4. 40-50%: By year 3, transition risk plateaus at 36% Transition risk varies with age of patient, nature of treatment provided, and definitions of "syndrome" and "transition to psychosis."

Question 3 Henry's parents want to know if there are genetic tests or biological markers available to help make the diagnosis of eventual schizophrenia or if they must simply wait for a first-break episode of psychosis. Would you refer him for neuroimaging or genetic testing? 1. Yes 2. No Copyright © 2015 Neuroscience Education Institute. All rights reserved. Genetic or Biological Predictors of Schizophrenia Remain Research Tools • Recent studies prove promising for the future – Abnormalities of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate receptor and glutamate synapses in schizophrenia – Pro-inflammatory factors and pathways involved in histone methylation – New serum blood test for panel of 26 biomarkers?

Question 4 Henry's family wants to know if there is any treatment that might protect him from developing a psychotic disorder. In recent studies, interventions in patients at UHR have demonstrated at least preliminary efficacy for: 1. Delaying or preventing onset of first episode 2. Treating current prodromal symptoms 3.

Treating Current Prodromal Symptoms • Atypical antipsychotics have demonstrated symptom relief in early trials of both pre-symptomatic schizophrenia and prodromal schizophrenia • Low dose, low side effect antipsychotic medications may be justified in some cases to treat symptomatically if risks are outweighed by the potential benefits, in recognizing that such use of these medications is not approved • Antidepressants, anxiolytics, and omega 3 fatty have also had encouraging results in reducing current symptoms Schmidt et al., Eur Psychiatry. 2015;30:388-404.; Addington J1, Liu L, Buchy L et al. J Nerv Ment Dis 2015;203(5):328-35. Copyright © 2015 Neuroscience Education Institute. All rights reserved. 2015 EPA Guidance on Early Intervention in Clinical High Risk Cases 1. Early intervention in patients at UHR should aim not only to prevent first-episode psychosis but also the development or persistence of functional deficits 2. Any psychosis-preventive intervention should be in accordance with EPA* guidance on early detection of psychosis 3. Psychological, in particular CBT, as well as pharmacological interventions are able to prevent or at least postpone first-episode in high-risk patients *Or standard/accepted Schmidt et al., Eur Psychiatry. 2015;30:388-404 Copyright © 2015 Neuroscience Education Institute. All rights reserved. 2015 EPA Guidance on Early Intervention in Clinical High Risk Cases ADULTS 4. Staged intervention, with least restrictive service approach (CBT) as first choice – If psychological treatment is ineffective and symptoms are severe and progressive: complement with low-dose atypical antipsychotics • APS with minimal/declining insight or BLIPS in higher/increasing frequency – Long-term antipsychotic treatment with primarily prevention purpose is not recommended 5. Any intervention should also address current individual needs and comorbidities, in particular depression and anxiety Schmidt et al., Eur Psychiatry. 2015;30:388-404 Copyright © 2015 Neuroscience Education Institute. All rights reserved. 2015 EPA Guidance on Early Intervention in Clinical High Risk Cases CHILDREN/ADOLESCENTS 6. Evidence insufficient to justify primarily preventive interventions (psychological or pharmacological) 7. Specific psychological interventions with the aim to improve functioning should be part of the overall treatment plan Schmidt et al., Eur Psychiatry. 2015;30:388-404 Copyright © 2015 Neuroscience Education Institute. All rights reserved. Summary: Ultra High Clinical Risk • It is not possible to predict with great accuracy who will develop schizophrenia or another psychotic disorder • Certain symptoms such as social withdrawal and cognitive decline can identify teenagers and young adults at high risk • A recent meta-analysis suggests that the transition to psychosis in patients at ultra-high risk is most likely to occur within the first two years, with half of patients who progress doing so within the first eight months • Genetic and neuroimaging tests of high risk individuals remain research tools • No drug is approved for pre-symptomatic or prodromal schizophrenia, but studies of different drug classes suggest symptom relief and possibly even delay of onset Copyright © 2015 Neuroscience Education Institute.
