Clinical Trial Summary

This study will evaluate the effect of 8 doses of intranasal oxytocin or placebo on two proposed measures of target engagement in brain. The targets are (1) the suppression of a particular wave form (mu) on the electroencephalogram (EEG) while subjects observe a socially relevant form of motion and (2) pupil dilation will subjects identify faces showing different emotions.


Clinical Trial Description

Subjects with schizophrenia spectrum disorders will be randomly assigned to one of 8 doses of oxytocin. After screening and informed consent subjects will receive either their assigned dose or a placebo. Thirty minutes following the drug administration patients will be evaluated on the EEG and pupillometry tasks followed by two tests that evaluate social salience. One week later subjects will have a second challenge in the alternative (drug or placebo) condition. ;
