Active clinical trials for "Schizophrenia"

This study will evaluate the effects of sequential multiple dose regimens of cariprazine on cardiac repolarization in patients with schizophrenia.

The purpose of this study is to determine how services should be provided to reduce symptoms and improve life functioning for adolescents and adults who have been recently diagnosed with schizophrenia.

This study described in the present protocol consists of two sections. Part A is the first administration into man to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of single ascending doses of GSK1144814. The study is a single-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled design in healthy male and female (of non-childbearing potential) subjects. Part B will be an open-label design in healthy male subjects to assess the GSK1144814 neurokinin-1 (NK1) receptor occupancy by positron emission tomography (PET) scanning with [11C]-GR205171

This study is designed as a 3-part trial to evaluate the safety of a novel depot formulation of iloperidone, compare 2 depot dosage forms, and perform dose ranging of 1 chosen form in support of a monthly depot dosing regimen. In Phase A, the study is designed to evaluate the safety of a crystalline iloperidone depot formulation. In Phase B, the pharmacokinetic and safety profile of 2 depot clinical dosage forms will be compared, and 1 form will be selected for assessment in Phase C. Phase C of this study is designed to define the dose-exposure relationship of the selected form and to provide information that will permit a comparison of the risk-benefit ratio of several doses of the study drug to enable optimal dose selection for later studies.

This study will look at the impact of dosing as well as ongoing treatment with an investigation medication identified as PF-03654746, on cognitive and physiologic indicators of brain function. Data from this study will assist with the evaluation of the utility of functional magnetic resonance imaging, arterial spin labeling (ASL), and electrophysiologic measures in the detection of early signals of the effectiveness of medications developed to target cognitive impairment in schizophrenia. Safety and tolerability of PF-03654746 in this population will be also be evaluated.

This multi-center, 2-arm interventional study within different mental health care settings (psychiatry: in-patient, day-unit and out-patient, as well as psychiatric rehabilitation) evaluates a psychotherapeutic group intervention to improve stigma coping and empowerment using a psychotherapeutic module embedded in a psychoeducational group therapy.

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the overall efficacy of aripiprazole intramuscular (IM) depot as acute treatment in subjects with schizophrenia. The secondary purpose is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of aripiprazole IM depot administered every 4 weeks for 12 weeks to adult subjects with schizophrenia.

Introduction: Schizophrenia is a serious mental illness. For majority of patients it is a lifetime condition,characterized by intermittent episodes of hospitalization due to relapse or acute symptom exacerbation. The nature and course of the disorder impose significant social and economic burden. Relapse is costly, with hospitalization accounting for a substantial portion of healthcare expenses. Second generation antipsychotic side effect such as metabolic syndrome and diabetes mellitus will contribute additional costs to the treatment. Many studies have since then provided convincing evidence for a high risk of diabetes and other glucose abnormalities, metabolic syndrome and mortality due to elevated cardiovascular risk in patients with schizophrenia. However many studies has shown the effectiveness and safety of aripiprazole and ziprazidone.In one of the study, aripiprazole showed improvement of negative schizophrenic symptoms by 25% and 50% of functioning level from baseline. In term of safety, antipsychotics considered to have a safer metabolic profile were amisulpride, ziprasidone and aripiprazole. Study objectives: To investigate the safety and efficacy of ziprazidone versus aripiprazole in the treatment of schizophrenia patients with metabolic syndrome and diabetes mellitus. To investigate the reversibility of metabolic syndrome and diabetes parameters following the treatment with ziprazidone versus aripiprazole. Hypotheses: * The proportion of reversibility of metabolic syndrome and diabetes parameters is higher following the treatment of ziprazidone than aripiprazole.

The purpose of this study is to determine if EVP-6124 (an alpha-7 nAChR agonist) enhances the cognitive abilities of subjects with Schizophrenia who are also taking stable antipsychotic therapy.

This study is being conducted to further investigate the safety of prolonged exposure to EVP-6124 in subjects with Schizophrenia receiving a stable dose of an atypical antipsychotic who completed double-blind treatment on studies EVP-6124-015 and EVP-6124-016.
