The Gut Metagenome Research of Schizophrenia

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Research already found that patients with autistic spectrum disorders lack of Prevotella intestinal type, then schizophrenia patients may also show the specific intestinal type, so investigators want to detect the gut metagenome of schizophrenia patients by high-throughput DNA sequencing to find specific intestinal type, so as to achieve the purpose of schizophrenia diagnosis. According to the detection of inflammatory factors in the blood, nerve growth factor in the cerebrospinal fluid, to find the mechanism of the gut-microbes-brain axis. Furthermore, investigators want to identify intestinal strains involved in weight gain and metabolic disorders such as blood glucose and lipids induced by antipsychotic drugs.

Clinical Trial Description

A prospective observational study will be conducted and cases will be recruited by multi-center cooperation. Investigators plan to collect 100 schizophrenic patients as case group, 100 healthy people as control group. Investigators will observe schizophrenia patients who use the single drug of risperidone in the treatment and follow up the patients on day 1, the third week, the third month, the sixth month and the first year. In addition, the other two groups of patients with schizophrenia will be included, one with olanzapine and the other with aripiprazole. There are three objectives: 1. Compare healthy population with schizophrenia patients in the difference of gut metagenome and inflammatory factors in the blood, stool samples aimed at detecting the difference of composition of intestinal microorganism; 2. Observe the change of intestinal microorganism, inflammatory factors, γ-aminobutyric acid of schizophrenic patients who received risperidone treatment according to the blood, stool samples, cerebrospinal fluid during the follow-up period. 3. Study the difference of intestinal flora composition between schizophrenia patients with metabolic disorder and schizophrenia patients without metabolic disorder after olanzapine or aripiprazole treatment and discuss the relationship between intestinal flora composition and metabolic disorder. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
