Active clinical trials for "Schizophrenia"

In this study, an investigational medication named BXCL501 is being tested for the treatment of episodes of agitation associated with bipolar I and bipolar II disorder, schizophrenia, schizoaffective and schizophreniform disorder. This study compares the study drug to a placebo.

This is a single-site, phase 2, sham-controlled random-order cross-over pilot trial of PLIFUS targeting the right GPi in individuals with schizophrenia. Twelve individuals with schizophrenia who report continuous hallucinations or delusions of mild or greater severity will receive one session of PLIFUS and one session of sham PLIFUS in random order, one week apart. If no effect of PLIFUS is detected on measures of functional connectivity or psychotic symptoms in the first four completers, the trial will be changed to 3 sessions of PLIFUS or sham administered over 5 days.

A clinical study that will evalute how well SEP-363856 works and how safe it is in people with schizophrenia that switch to SEP-363856 from their current antipsychotic medication. This study will accept both male and female participants, ages of 18 years to 65 years, with schizophrenia. The study will take place in approxmiately 24 study sites in North America. Particpants should expect to be in the study for up to 12 weeks.

Negative symptoms and cognition decline are major challenges in clinical management of schizophrenia. Dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) has been highly involved in the mechanisms of negative symptoms and cognitive symptoms of schizophrenia. However, the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over left or bilateral DLPFC has not yet been well studied. The aim of this study is to describe how the effectiveness of rTMS over different targets for cognitive deficits and negative symptoms in schizophrenia will be evaluated. The study will provide evidence to determine whether a bilateral DLPFC rTMS and is more effective than a left DLPFC rTMS alone to optimize treatment protocol in schizophrenia.

This primary objective for this study is to evaluate the effect of adjunctive valbenazine versus placebo on symptoms of schizophrenia in participants who have inadequate response to antipsychotic treatment.

To evaluate the safety and tolerability of iloperidone in adolescent patients with schizophrenia or bipolar I disorder for up to 52 weeks of treatment.

The primary purpose of this study to evaluate the effect of a supratherapeutic dose of 80 mg MK-8189 on the QT interval corrected for heart rate (QTc interval) and to assess the safety and tolerability of multiple once-daily doses of MK-8189 in participants with schizophrenia. The primary hypothesis is that the administration of an 80 mg MK-8189 dose on Day 2 does not prolong the QTc interval to a clinically significant degree. Specifically, the true mean difference (MK-8189 - placebo) in QTc change from baseline is less than 10 milliseconds (msec).

This study will be carried out with individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia who continue to community mental health. Social skills training will be applied in the study. This study will be conducted to examine the effect of social skills training on praxis and social functionality in individuals with schizophrenia.

Individuals living with a psychotic disorder often experience changes to their thinking and social skills that can lead to challenges with work, school, relationships and living independently. One intervention to target these areas is cognitive remediation therapy, which can be delivered in virtual reality to help apply the skills and strategies learned to day-to-day life. Over the past few years, our team has co-developed a cognitive remediation program in virtual reality with healthcare professionals and people with lived experiences of psychosis. The current trial tests the feasibility and efficacy of this cognitive remediation program in virtual reality at improving thinking skills, social skills, and daily life functioning.

This study aims to determine the clinical and functional imaging effects of serial CVS on illness awareness in schizophrenia. Specifically, the investigators aim to: Determine if twice-daily CVS for 4 weeks will improve illness awareness compared to the sham condition in participants with schizophrenia. Illness awareness will be assessed at pre- and post-CVS, and weekly thereafter for 4 weeks. Examine changes in brain network activity (blood oxygen level dependent-BOLD in response to an illness awareness task) pre- and post-CVS. This will serve as a biomarker to rigorously test whether repeated CVS engages the PPA associated with illness awareness.
