Active clinical trials for "Schizophrenia"

Both GlyT-1 inhibitors and NMDA-glycine site agonists have been demonstrated to be beneficial for chronic schizophrenia patients. The purpose of this study is to compare efficacy and safety of add-on treatment of sarcosine, a GlyT-1 inhibitor, and D-serine, an NMDA-glycine site agonist, in chronically stable schizophrenia patients who have been stabilized with antipsychotics.

The primary aim of this study is to determine the feasibility of long-acting injectable naltrexone administration in a clinical trial in patients with SMI who also have a diagnosis of alcohol dependence. Secondary aims include providing a preliminary assessment of the tolerability and safety of long-acting injectable naltrexone as compared with oral naltrexone in patients with SMI who also have a diagnosis of alcohol dependence. An additional aim is to provide a preliminary assessment of the efficacy of long-acting injectable naltrexone as compared with oral naltrexone in reducing alcohol use from baseline levels

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the tolerability and safety of paliperidone ER (extended-release) in doses between 3 milligrams per day and 12 milligrams per day in the treatment of patients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder and liver disease.

The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 3 fixed doses of paliperidone palmitate administered i.m. after an initial loading dose of 150 mg eq. in the deltoid muscle followed by either deltoid or gluteal injections for a total of 13 weeks of treatment as compared with placebo in patients with schizophrenia.

The purpose of this study is to compare efficacy of quetiapine fumarate combined with Cognitive Remediation Therapy (CRT) to conventional treatment by evaluating change in social outcome in patients with schizophrenia.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, effectiveness, and plasma concentration of paliperidone (an antipsychotic medication) given once daily in the treatment of patients with schizophrenia

This study will evaluate the effects of combination treatment with aripiprazole and clozapine on insulin resistance, blood fat levels, and weight gain in people diagnosed with schizophrenia.

This clinical trial tests the effectiveness of cognitive therapy (CT) to improve outcomes in outpatients diagnosed with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder who manifest prominent negative symptoms. It is hypothesized that patients receiving cognitive therapy will manifest lower negative symptom levels and improved engagement in constructive activity relative to patients who receive treatment-as-usual. Further, it is predicted that these differences between CT and TAU will be larger when patients are assessed 6 and 12 months after the end of treatment (18 and 24 months after study entry).

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a low dose and a high dose of the study drug SCA-136 are effective and safe in the treatment of schizophrenia requiring hospitalization.

This study proposes to examine the effect of atomoxetine on quality of life and negative symptoms such as social withdrawal, lack of interest in things, lack of thought content, flat emotions, slowed body movements and lack of drive and motivation in patients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. This study also examines the safety of using atomoxetine along with the conventional antipsychotic in these patients.
