Active clinical trials for "Psychotic Disorders"

The objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of allopurinol, compared to placebo, as add-on to anti-psychotics in the treatment of patients with schizophrenia.

The purpose of this study is to explore the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of a 4-week long-acting injectable (LAI) formulation of risperidone after single intramuscular (i.m.) injection of 75 mg risperidone LAI in the gluteal muscle.

The purposes of this study are to characterize the pharmacokinetics of paliperidone after single- and multiple-dose administration of paliperidone ER in children and adolescent patients (>= 10 to <= 17 years of age) with schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, or schizophreniform disorder and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of paliperidone ER in this patient population.

The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the combination of aripiprazole (Abilify) and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) in subjects with psychotic major depression.

The purpose of this study is to document the long-term safety of 25, 50 or 75 mg long-acting injectable risperidone given via injection to the gluteal muscle every 2 weeks to patients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether moderately ill Asian schizophrenic patients can be switched from their previous antipsychotic medication to aripiprazole with minimal adverse clinical consequences, and elucidate both pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic factors associated with clinical efficacy of aripiprazole.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of long-acting risperidone microspheres (small uniformly-sized spherical particles, of micrometer dimensions, frequently labeled with radioisotopes or various reagents acting as tags or markers) in participants with schizophrenia (psychiatric disorder with symptoms of emotional instability, detachment from reality, often with delusions and hallucinations, and withdrawal into the self) and schizoaffective disorders (a mixed psychiatric disorder relating to a complex psychotic state that has features of both schizophrenia and a mood disorder such as bipolar disorder), who are receiving psychiatric home-care treatment .

Many individuals with schizophrenia abuse cannabis at the onset of their illness, portending a poorer course of illness and poorer treatment response. Preliminary evidence suggests that clozapine may uniquely reduce substance use in patients with schizophrenia. The purpose of this study is to establish an effective methodology for studying early treatment with clozapine in patients with co-occurring schizophrenia and cannabis use disorder, while generating pilot data comparing clozapine vs. risperidone on substance use, psychiatric symptoms, side effects, and treatment discontinuation.

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of two dose levels of pimavanserin (ACP-103) compared to placebo in patients with Parkinson's disease psychosis.

This study was conducted to examine the efficacy and tolerability of ziprasidone intramuscular (IM), and to assess the effect of switching from IM to oral ziprasidone for the treatment of acute exacerbation of schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder in a Latin American population.
