Filter by:This pilot trial in Finland is designed to evaluate in a randomized fashion change of agitation in acute schizophrenic patients (Schizophrenia or Schizoaffective psychosis or Schizophreniformic psychosis)Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM - IV) with the first visits on days 1, 2, 4 or 5 and 7 ± 1.
The trial is designed to assess the long term subjective well-being in schizophrenic outpatients treated with quetiapine XR (extended release) or oral risperidone at flexible dose in a naturalistic setting over a period of one year. Secondary outcome measures have been selected for helping in the differentiation of the compared atypical antipsychotics. The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the non-inferiority of quetiapine XR to risperidone assessed at month 6 in terms of responder rate using the self-report instrument SWN-K
The primary aim of the project is to examine the efficacy of the Psychiatric Rehabilitation Weight Loss program in reduction of weight and body mass index (BMI.
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 purpose of this open-label study is to evaluate the long-term (6-month) safety and tolerability of extended-release paliperidone, an atypical antipsychotic, given in flexible dosages to adolescents with schizophrenia.
The purpose of this study is to develop the weight management program, which is combined with healthy diet, proper physical exercise, and behavior modification, related to patient's quality of life. The patients groups are in routine practice with 5-20 mg olanzapine. The study results may be utilized for patients who have gained weight on olanzapine and also other antipsychotic drugs.
The etiology of schizophrenia remains unclear. Schizophrenia patients reveal positive symptoms, negative symptoms, and cognitive impairments. In addition to dopamine system hyperactivity, hypofunction of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor plays a role in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Consequently, enhancing NMDA receptor neurotransmission has been considered as a novel treatment approach. To date, there have been several trials on NMDA enhancers reported. For example, sarcosine (N-methylglycine, a glycine transporter I inhibitor) showed therapeutic effects not only in chronically stable patients but also in acutely exacerbated ones when added-on to antipsychotics. In addition, sarcosine yields excellent safety profiles, in comparison to current antipsychotics. It remains unclear whether NMDA enhancers, such as sarcosine, can serve as monotherapy for schizophrenia. The aims of this project are to examine the efficacy and safety of sarcosine monotherapy for acutely-ill schizophrenic patients, and to compare the effects of 2 grams/day, effective dose, with 1 gram/day, ineffective lower dose.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether preventative treatment with sarcosine can reduce symptoms and delay/avoid disease progression in individuals defined as being in a prodromal stage of schizophrenia.
The study is a randomized clinical trial investigating the efficacy of a comprehensive psychological intervention for the treatment of first episode schizophrenia
This is a randomized, double-blind study to determine how well intramuscular (IM) olanzapine depot works compared to oral olanzapine; evaluate the safety and tolerability of IM olanzapine depot compared to oral olanzapine; evaluate different doses of IM olanzapine depot; and determine the blood levels of IM olanzapine depot in patients at different points in time after an injection.
