The objectives of this research is to (1) create a family intervention and provider manual to train family members of young people with psychosis (YP-P) who are heavy cannabis users new communication skills to motivate change in the YP-P's cannabis use, (2) pre-test the intervention with 10 family member participants and adapt the intervention based on their recommendations, and (3) evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention in a randomized pilot trial (n=40). The investigators anticipate that the intervention will improve family participants' communication skills, decrease expressed emotion and caregiver burden. The investigators anticipate that improvements in communication skills, expressed emotion and caregiver burden will lead to decreases in the cannabis use of their YP-P.
This is a randomized controlled trial testing the efficacy of Resilience Training in college students with elevated transdiagnostic risk for developing a serious mental illness.
The Biomarkers/Biotypes, Course of Early Psychosis and Specialty Services (BICEPS) study aims to understand the early stages of psychotic disorders like Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder, and Bipolar I Disorder. It involves gathering mental health information, brain scans (MRI), eye movement patterns (Eye-Tracking), and brain electrical waves (EEG) data from individuals who have experienced these disorders in recent years. Participants will be involved for about a year, with four visits over this period. Screening procedures, lasting approximately 3 hours, include tests for drug use, a pregnancy test for eligible women, clinical interviews about feelings and experiences, psychiatric and family history interviews, and a medical history review. Research procedures for eligible participants include DNA collection, a neuropsychological test battery, EEG, eye-tracking, and MRI. These procedures will help researchers understand brain function, genetics, and cognitive abilities related to psychotic disorders. Follow-up visits at 1-month, 6-month, and 12-month intervals involve modified clinical interviews and repeating neuropsychological tests to track changes over time. Participants may opt to provide DNA samples for genetic analysis, undergo various cognitive tests, EEG to record brain waves, eye-tracking to monitor eye movements, and MRI scans to visualize brain structure. Follow-up visits at regular intervals will help researchers track changes in symptoms and cognitive function. This study provides comprehensive insight into the onset and progression of psychotic disorders and offers valuable information for patients, families, and healthcare providers involved in managing these conditions. Our goal is to better understand whether a combination of biological markers and different types of people (BT1, BT2, BT3) can help us predict how well individuals with early psychosis respond to specialized care. We expect that those in BT3 will have the best outcomes, BT2 will have intermediate outcomes, and BT1 will have the poorest outcomes. Even though BT1 and BT2 might start with similar cognitive issues, their biology might lead to different responses to treatment. This research can help us understand which treatments work best for different people with early psychosis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of KarXT in adult participants with mild to severe Alzheimer's Disease (AD) with moderate to severe psychosis related to AD.
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled, flexible-dose study evaluating the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of ITI-1284 compared with placebo in the treatment of psychosis in patients with AD.
Hallucinations or delusions that occur for the first time in older people with no acute medical problems or mood symptoms may be related to impending dementia. This study aims to confirm this hypothesis using novel blood biomarkers and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging tracers, as well as non-invasive testing.
This 52-week, open-label extension study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of ACP-204 in subjects with ADP.
This is a master protocol for 3 independent, seamlessly enrolling, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group studies in patients with ADP * Substudy 1 (Phase 2) will evaluate efficacy and dose response of ACP-204 30 and 60 mg vs placebo. This substudy will be initiated first. * Substudies 2A and 2B (both: Phase 3) will be confirmatory studies of either both doses (ACP-204 30 and 60 mg, respectively) or a single dose from Part 1 vs placebo. Substudies 2A and 2B will be performed independently of each other and will commence after enrollment of Part 1. All 3 substudies will be analyzed independently of each other. Each substudy individually will consist of a screening period (up to 49 days); a double-blind treatment period (6 weeks); a safety follow-up period (30 days) for patients not rolling over into an open-label extension study; and vital status follow-up (for patients who terminated their substudy early).
This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of KarXT in male and female subjects who are aged 55 to 90 years and have mild to severe Alzheimer's Disease (AD) with moderate to severe psychosis related to AD. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of KarXT compared with placebo in the treatment of subjects with psychosis associated with AD as measured by the Neuropsychiatric Inventory-Clinician (NPI-C): Hallucinations and Delusions (H+D) score.
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine if iTBS applied to the DMPFC improves social cognitive performance compared to sham stimulation in people diagnosed with schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, schizophreniform disorder, or psychotic disorder not otherwise specified. The main objectives of this trial are: * Compare changes in social cognitive performance between the active vs. sham treatment groups * Compare changes in social cognitive network functional connectivity between the active vs. sham treatment groups Each participant will receive iTBS (active or sham) five days per week for four consecutive weeks. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans, clinical assessments, and cognitive tests will be performed at pre-treatment, post-treatment, and 6 months after the completion of treatment.
