Active clinical trials for "Schizophrenia"

This study proposes to examine the application of rTMS for the treatment of cognitive dysfunction in FEP. This is an important population for study because if effective, rTMS may represent a preventative treatment for the development of social and vocational impairment that is associated with cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia. This study will also seek to refine the understanding of the brain circuitry that mediates the potential pro-cognitive effects of rTMS through the use of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) at baseline and following the course of rTMS administration.

The purpose of the study is optimising current treatments in schizophrenia and explore novel therapeutic options for schizophrenia. The study intends to both address basic, but so far unanswered, questions in the treatment of schizophrenia and develop new interventions. It is expected that the project will lead to evidence that is directly applicable to treatment guidelines, and will identify potential mechanisms for new drug development.

The purpose of this study is to assess the long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy of oral OPC-34712 as monotherapy in adults with schizophrenia.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of paliperidone extended release (ER) treatment in Thai schizophrenia (psychiatric disorder with symptoms of emotional instability, detachment from reality, often with delusions and hallucinations, and withdrawal into the self) participants.

The purpose of this study is to determine if eltoprazine (as an adjunct to anti-psychotic medication) improves one or more aspects of cognitive impairment in adult schizophrenic patients.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of the amino acid supplement N-Acetylcysteine versus placebo on working memory and other cognitive functions in persons with a diagnosis of schizophrenia.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of paliperidone palmitate in Japanese patients with schizophrenia. Secondary objectives of this study are to: explore the efficacy on symptoms of schizophrenia and the maintenance of treatment effect; explore the pharmacokinetics of paliperidone palmitate through sparse pharmacokinetic sampling.

The purpose of this study is: To investigate whether a treatment with quetiapine for six months in patients with first-episode psychosis may be effective in treating depressive symptoms. To investigate whether a treatment with quetiapine for six months in patients with first-episode psychosis may be effective in mania-like symptoms and to evaluate the general efficacy in psychopathology as well as the safety and tolerability of quetiapine.

Study to compare PK of a new 120mg tablet with two 60mg tablets. This is required because we plan to have only single tablets administered in the later phase clinical trials but we have not had a 120mg strength before. As this is a new previously untested strength we need to ensure that the PK is similar to that achieved using 2x60mg before we start a large manufacturing campaign and before we administer to a large number of patients. The study is planned to consist of a single part, with two dosing periods, periods 1 and 2 consisting of 18 subjects. There will be 20 days washout between each dose. Initially 4 subjects will be given a single oral dose of 120 mg SB-773812 and 2 will be given placebo. If 120mg SB-773812 is well tolerated in the first four volunteers, the remaining 12 subjects will be dosed. If the 120mg single oral dose in the first 4 subjects is poorly tolerated, the study will be stopped. Subjects will return to the centre for follow-up 14 to 21 days after the final dose.It is expected that the total duration of the study should be approximately 11 weeks.

This study will determine the effectiveness of tropisetron plus risperidone in improving cognitive symptoms in Chinese people with schizophrenia.
