Atypical antipsychotics in children and adolescents with autistic and other pervasive developmental disorders.
Atypical antipsychotics are emerging as the first-line pharmacologic treatment for irritability (i.e., aggression, self-injurious behavior, and severe tantrums) in children and adolescents with autistic and other pervasive developmental disorders. Results from placebo-controlled and open-label studies of clozapine, risperidone, olanzapine, quetiapine, ziprasidone, and aripiprazole in this subject population are reviewed. Additional placebo-controlled trials and studies of longer-term safety and tolerability are needed.

Atypical antipsychotics in the treatment of children and adolescents: clinical applications.
Atypical antipsychotics offer superior safety and similar efficacy compared with conventional agents in adults with psychotic disorders. Consequently, atypical antipsychotics have been increasingly used in children and adolescents. Because most information now available on pediatric use comes from case reports and small open-label studies rather than large controlled trials, treatment in pediatric patients is often guided by experience with adults or based on limited evidence in youths. Although the literature contains reports on the use of each agent in this class in children, risperidone has been the focus of the greatest number of reports. However, the atypical antipsychotics are not interchangeable; each has a unique pharmacologic profile and may differ considerably in terms of adverse effects. Evidence on the use of atypical antipsychotics in children and adolescents is summarized in this review.

Broad therapeutic uses of atypical antipsychotic medications.
The atypical antipsychotics have a low incidence of extrapyramidal side effects (EPS), have improved tardive dyskinesia profiles, and have a broad range of therapeutic efficacy. These agents offer important therapeutic advantages that extend beyond their initial regulatory approval in several conditions and patient groups. The use of atypical antipsychotics is most relevant in the treatment of mood disorders, where these medications are being used increasingly for acute mood stabilization and in patients who are resistant to other treatments. Similar circumstances and clinical advantages pertain to the use of atypical antipsychotics in the treatment of behavioral disturbances in patients with dementia and in the management of personality disorders-both circumstances where conventional antipsychotics were initially poorly tolerated because of EPS. The low incidence of EPS associated with atypical antipsychotics is highly beneficial in several neuropsychiatric conditions. The extent to which endocrine and metabolic dysregulations associated with atypical antipsychotics will influence antipsychotics' role remains to be determined. As therapeutic opportunities evolve and diversify, atypical antipsychotics, because of favorable adverse-effect profiles, will have enhanced patient tolerability and use in nonpsychiatric conditions.

Increased Risk of Obesity and Metabolic Dysregulation Following 12 Months of Second-Generation Antipsychotic Treatment in Children: A Prospective Cohort Study.
To determine the risk of developing obesity and related metabolic complications in children following long-term treatment with risperidone or quetiapine.. This was a 1-year naturalistic longitudinal study conducted between February 2009 and March 2012. A total of 130 children aged 2 to 18 years without prior exposure to second-generation antipsychotics (SGAs) were enrolled at initiation of treatment with either risperidone or quetiapine. Metabolic parameters were measured at baseline and months 6 and 12. Data of 37 participants (20 treated with risperidone and 17 treated with quetiapine) who completed 12-month monitoring were used in the analysis.. After 1 year of SGA treatment, mean weight increased significantly by 10.8 kg (95% CI 7.9 kg to 13.7 kg) for risperidone and 9.7 kg (95% CI 6.5 kg to 12.8 kg) for quetiapine. Body mass index z score also increased significantly in both groups (P < 0.001). There was a high incidence of children becoming overweight or obese (6/15 [40.0%] for risperidone-treated and 7/14 [50.0%] for quetiapine-treated). The mean levels of fasting glucose (for risperidone-treated) and ratio of total cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (for quetiapine-treated) increased significantly by 0.23 mmol/L (95% CI 0.03 mmol/L to 0.42 mmol/L) and 0.48 mmol/L (95% CI 0.15 mmol/L to 0.80 mmol/L), respectively.. Children treated with risperidone or quetiapine are at a significant risk for developing obesity, elevated waist circumference, and dyslipidemia during 12 months of treatment. These data emphasize the importance of regular monitoring for early identification and treatment of metabolic side effects.

Retrospective study of quetiapine in children and adolescents with pervasive developmental disorders.
A retrospective study was conducted in a clinic specialized in treating individuals with developmental disabilities to examine the effectiveness and tolerability of quetiapine in children and adolescents with pervasive developmental disorders. Ten consecutive outpatients (age = 12.0 +/- 5.1 years) treated with quetiapine (dose = 477 +/- 212 mg, duration = 22.0 +/- 10.1 weeks) were identified and six were judged to be responders based on impressions from chart review and Conners Parent Scale (CPS). Improvements were observed in the conduct, inattention, and hyperactivity subscales of the CPS. Adverse events were mild with sedation being the most common, and no patient required treatment termination. Quetiapine may be beneficial in children and adolescents with pervasive developmental disorders, however open-label and double-blind, placebo-controlled studies are warranted.

A retrospective analysis of quetiapine in the treatment of pervasive developmental disorders.
The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness and tolerability of quetiapine for aggression, hyperactivity, and self-injury in pervasive developmental disorders (PDDs).. The medical records of all patients with PDDs diagnosed according to DSM-IV criteria and treated with quetiapine were retrospectively reviewed. Patients who received quetiapine for at least 4 weeks and who were not concurrently treated with another antipsychotic or mood stabilizer were included. Improvement was measured with the Clinical Global Impressions-Improvement scale (CGI-I), with response determined by ratings of "much improved" or "very much improved." Data were collected from May 15, 2003 through November 30, 2003.. Of 857 records reviewed, 20 patients (16 male, 4 female) (mean +/- SD age = 12.1 +/- 6.7 years; range, 5-28 years) received a quetiapine trial (mean +/- SD dosage = 248.7 +/- 198.4 mg/day; range, 25-600 mg/day) over a mean duration of 59.8 +/- 55.1 weeks (range, 4-180 weeks). Eight (40%) of 20 patients were judged "responders" to quetiapine; the mean CGI-I score for the entire group was 3.0 +/- 1.1 (minimally improved). A statistically significant improvement (p = .002) was found between a mean pretrial CGI-Severity of Illness scale (CGI-S) score of 5.1 +/- 0.6 (markedly ill) and a posttrial CGI-S score of 4.2 +/- 1.1 (moderately ill). Adverse effects occurred in 50% (N = 10) of patients and led to drug discontinuation in 15% (N = 3) of patients.. Quetiapine was modestly effective for maladaptive behavior in patients with a PDD. Controlled studies are needed to further assess these preliminary findings.
