13 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This is a screening study aimed at estimating the frequency of antipsychotic non-compliance in patients with a history of schizophrenia or other psychotic disorder admitted to an inpatient psychiatric unit. Levels of the antipsychotics risperidone, olanzapine, quetiapine, aripiprazole, and paliperidone will be drawn in patients presenting the emergency room who are acutely psychotic, require admission to an inpatient hospital, have a history of psychosis, and have previously been prescribed one of the study drugs. Levels will then be analyzed to determine the frequency and severity of non-compliance in this population.
This study compared standard hospital restraints to a newer safety net restraint system to compare them for acceptability, tolerance, duration of restrain, length of stay in the hospital, and satisfaction of MD, nurse, and relatives of patients.
A clinical trial to study the efficacy and safety of an investigational drug in acutely psychotic people with schizophrenia. Participants in the study will either receive the drug being studied or a placebo. This study is accepting male and female participants between 18 -65 years old who have been diagnosed with schizophrenia. This study will be conducted in 60 locations world wide. The study will last up to nine (9) weeks.
A clinical trial to study the efficacy and safety of an investigational drug in acutely psychotic people with schizophrenia. Participants in the study will either receive the drug being studied or a placebo. This study is accepting male and female participants between 13 years old -65 years old who have been diagnosed with schizophrenia. This study will be conducted in 70 locations worldwide. The study will last up to 9 weeks total time.
The purpose of the study was to determine in patients currently being administered antipsychotic pharmacotherapy whether PEAR-004 could further reduce symptoms of schizophrenia as measured by the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS). The overall rationale for the study was to assess the first prescription digital therapeutic (PDT) in schizophrenia using a form of proven psychosocial intervention, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), to supplement standard of care with antipsychotic medications.
There is a substantial need for enhancing the efficacy and effectiveness of Veterans Health Administration (VHA) inpatient services for psychosis and tailoring them to support recovery. The proposed pilot study will explore whether Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a recovery-oriented, evidence-based inpatient treatment, is a feasible, acceptable, safe, and effective adjunct for the inpatient treatment of Veterans with psychosis at a single VHA site. Additionally, an evaluation of barriers and facilitators to future implementation will be conducted. If promising, the data gained from the proposed study will support future evaluation, implementation and dissemination efforts that have the potential to improve inpatient treatment for psychosis and recovery, and thus, the lives of Veterans, while reducing costs for VHA.
The purpose of this study is to use proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) at 4 Tesla to measure brain glycine levels noninvasively at baseline and for 2 hours after a single oral dose of a concentrated glycine-containing beverage, and to compare MRS glycine measurements to glycine blood levels in samples obtained after each MRS spectrum. The investigators hypothesize that they will observe a high correlation between the magnitude increases in brain and plasma glycine levels over this time frame. The investigators also hypothesize that we will observe large intersubject variability in glycine uptake rates into brain and blood. The investigators also hypothesize that subjects with a glycine decarboxylase (GLDC) mutation (triplication) will have lower baseline plasma and brain glycine levels and will experience smaller brain and plasma glycine increases after glycine consumption than controls or family members without the GLDC mutation.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of sustained-release quetiapine fumarate (Seroquel®) in the treatment of patients with Acute Bipolar Mania for 3 weeks. PLEASE NOTE: Seroquel SR and Seroquel XR refer to the same formulation. The SR designation was changed to XR after consultation with FDA.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of iloperidone compared to placebo and an active comparator in the treatment of patients with schizophrenia in acute exacerbation.
This U.S. multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 clinical trial is designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of a repeat intranasal (i.n.) dose of Fasedienol Nasal Spray (fasedienol) (3.2 µg) to relieve symptoms of acute anxiety in adult subjects ages 18 through 65 with Social Anxiety Disorder induced by a public speaking challenge (PSC) in a clinical setting. In addition, safety and tolerability of i.n. administration of 3.2 µg of fasedienol, as-needed, up to 6 times per day for up to 12 months, will be assessed in those subjects who complete PH94B-CL036 and choose to enter the distinct open-label extension phase of the study.
This U.S. Phase 3 clinical trial is designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of the acute intranasal (i.n.) administration of Fasedienol Nasal Spray (fasedienol) (3.2 µg) to relieve symptoms of acute anxiety in adult subjects ages 18 through 65 with Social Anxiety Disorder induced by a public speaking challenge (PSC) in a clinical setting. In addition, safety and tolerability of i.n. administration of 3.2 µg of fasedienol, as-needed, up to 6 times per day for up to 12 months, will be assessed in those subjects who complete PALISADE-4 and choose to enter the distinct open-label extension phase of the study.
This will be a randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multi-site, double-blind trial of MK-8189 compared with placebo, using Risperidone as an active control. The participants will be adult subjects experiencing an acute episode of schizophrenia, according to the criteria specified in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th ed. (DSM-5). This study will be up to 7 weeks in duration, with up to 7 site visits for each participant. The study will consist of a Screening/tapering period (up to one week long), a 4-week treatment period, and a 14-day follow-up period. The primary objective will be to assess symptoms of schizophrenia at 4 weeks, and to assess safety and tolerability during treatment and post-treatment follow-up. The secondary objective will be to assess the severity of schizophrenia at 4 weeks. The primary hypothesis is that MK-8189 is superior to placebo in reducing the overall symptoms of schizophrenia as assessed by the mean change from baseline in the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score after 4 weeks of treatment.
Our proposal is to administer asenapine to patients who are clinically agitated and in need of immediate intervention. At present there are no controlled studies that we know of that explores the use of asenapine for this purpose. Establishing the utility of asenapine for this common clinical problem will support its use as an additional treatment option in acutely agitated patients.
