Active clinical trials for "Schizophrenia"

The purpose of this study is to determine if flexibly-dosed ziprasidone is safe and effective for the treatment of adolescents (ages 13-17) with schizophrenia

This is a randomized, placebo-controlled study to assess the efficacy and safety of ATX augmentation of CLZ as a treatment for the cognitive symptoms of schizophrenia. A total sample size of 126 subjects diagnosed with schizophrenia and being treated with the antipsychotic clozapine will undergo genotyping. These subjects will have an initial assessment at four weeks and regular follow-up assessments for a total period of 52 weeks. These subjects will be randomized to continued treatment with CLZ and augmentation with ATX or Placebo.

There has been evidence that ziprasidone is efficacious in decreasing the magnitude of both positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia, and also effective in the treatment of depressive symptoms. It shows good tolerance with low incidence of extrapyramidal side effects and does not significantly influence body weight. As it has been shown that ziprasidone is efficacious and safe in patients who have been pretreated with other antipsychotic that has to be withdrawn either due to the side effects or not satisfied efficacy. The purpose of the study was to provide further evidence for the efficacy and safety of patients with schizophrenia and allow for psychiatrists in Hungary to gain experience with the drug before wide commercial availability.

The purpose of this study is to test the use of High-Dose versus Regular-Dose Nicotine Patch for Nicotine Dependence in Individuals with Schizophrenia or Schizoaffective Disorder

Through self-controlled studies on metabolic syndrome related indicators, efficacy and other adverse reactions in patients with schizophrenia who developed metabolic syndrome after treatment with other antipsychotics, switched to Zoladine capsules (ziprasidone hydrochloride capsules). To evaluate the clinical application value of switching to Zolodine for schizophrenia patients with metabolic syndrome, and to explore the drug selection strategy for long-term treatment of schizophrenia patients.

This study will be conducted to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of AVP-786, as compared with placebo, for the treatment of negative symptoms of schizophrenia.

We are pursuing a pilot study to assess the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of adapting a critical time intervention (CTI) approach for adults with schizophrenia who have been admitted for the inpatient treatment of ambulatory care sensitive conditions. These are common health conditions, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or short-term complications from diabetes mellitus, in which appropriate ambulatory care prevents or reduces the need for inpatient treatment. A 2-arm pilot study will randomize 80 eligible inpatients to receive either: 1) treatment as usual (TAU) (N=20); or 2) CTI and TAU (N=40). Participants assigned to CTI will meet with a CTI care manger during their inpatient stay and over a 3-month period following hospital discharge. CTI care managers will assess and address patient needs and barriers to outpatient medical and mental health care and provide support and assistance with health and mental health care management. The primary outcome measure will be all-cause hospital readmissions at 7 and 30 days following discharge. Secondary outcomes will include follow-up with medical and mental health at 7 and 30 days following hospital discharge. Patients receiving CTI will also receive 6 and 12 week assessments to evaluate secondary outcomes including satisfaction with CTI services, psychiatric symptoms, community function, and involvement in medical care decisions.

A study to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of flexible doses of Lu AF11167 in patients with schizophrenia during the 24-week treatment period

The purpose of this study is to determine whether weight gain will be significantly less in LY2140023 than aripiprazole in patients with schizophrenia.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether at least 1 dose level of LY2140023 given to acutely ill patients with schizophrenia will demonstrate significantly greater efficacy as compared to placebo.
