Active clinical trials for "Schizophrenia"

The objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy of MP-214 in patients with chronic phase or elderly schizophrenia.

This study will evaluate the safety and durability of effect of ALKS 9072 (also known as ALKS 9070) during long-term treatment of subjects with stable schizophrenia.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety and efficacy of MP-214 in patients with schizophrenia.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy of MP-214 in patients with receiving multiple drugs schizophrenia.

Schizophrenia is a severe mental illness, of psychosis being the most prevalent in society, affecting 1% of the population. The treatment of schizophrenia is basically done with antipsychotic drugs, although other non-pharmacological interventions, such as exercise, a form of treatment seems to be considered. Among the most recommended exercise for the general population, the investigators highlight the aerobic and resistance exercises. However, few studies have reported the positive effect of aerobic exercise in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia. In relation to resistance exercise and concurrent training, it is unknown if the effect in patients with the disease, especially when one considers the junction of the two types of exercises in the same training session (called concurrent training). However, it is known, through clinical studies and animal models, that exercise modifies the brain improves neuroplasticity, the mental condition of the individual frames and reverses neurodegeneration. Associated with improvement in schizophrenia, few clinical trials of aerobic exercise showed improvement in disease symptoms, reducing anxiety and depression, and clinical global improvement. The hypothesis is that the types of proposed training, resistance training and concurrent training can improve clinical symptoms of the disease, and improve the side effects caused by drugs. It is believed that the clinical changes are accompanied by increased serum IGF-1 by resistance training and aerobic training by BDNF.

This was a double-blind randomized study with three treatment arms: clozapine, olanzapine and haloperidol. We compared these three medications in the treatment of aggressive behavior over a 12 week period.

This study includes two main components: the first screening phase and the second clinical intervention phase. During the screening phase, subjects with poor response to clozapine are carefully evaluated by chart-review and clinical assessment. Via chart-review, clinical data of diagnosis, disease course and previous treatment outcome, and concomitant psychotropic agents are obtained. Clinical phenomenology, including psychopathology, psychotic and mood symptoms severity and side effect of psychotropic medication are assessed by clinical interview and observation, which are conducted by experienced clinicians. Blood sample will be also obtained from the subjects for measuring the baseline clozapine drug level and extracting DNA for further analysis. Subjects fulfilling the criteria of treatment-resistant schizophrenia with poor response to adequate dose and duration of clozapine treatment are eligible for the clinical trial phase of 14-week randomized, placebo-controlled amisulpride add-on study. In this phase, subjects are randomly allocated to amisulpride augmentation treatment group and placebo treatment group. Subjects in the former group will receive clozapine and amisulpride combination treatment, while in the latter group will receive clozapine and placebo. Outcomes of clinical efficacy and safety are carefully evaluated by experienced and well-trained research stuffs in the 14 weeks of clinical study period. All of the above studies will be conducted in four hospitals, including DOH Bali Psychiatric Hospital, DOH Tao-yan Psychiatric hospital, and the Ju-Shang Psychiatric Hospital. Subjects will be recruited from the chronic in-patient settings from these three hospitals.

GSK1144814 is a potent, insurmountable antagonist at human neurokinin-1 (NK1) and neurokinin-3 (NK3) receptors with the potential to treat multiple symptom domains of schizophrenia and be an efficacious antidepressant. This study will be an open label, randomised, three-way cross-over study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of a new tablet formulation of GSK1144814 and to evaluate the effect of food on single oral doses of GSK1144814 in healthy male and female subjects.

This randomized trial is examining whether a treatment called cognitive remediation is more effective when it is paired with a social and functional skills training component.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the overall effectiveness of Ondansetron as an adjunctive or "add-on" medication in the treatment of Schizophrenia. This study is a double blind, placebo-controlled, randomised, 12 week trial.
