Schizophrenia is a common and severe psychiatric illness characterized by extreme disturbances of cognition and thought, affecting language, perception and sense of self. This study will assess adverse events, change in disease activity, and how oral emraclidine moves through the body in adult participants with schizophrenia Emraclidine is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of schizophrenia. Participants are placed in one of two parts, Part A or Part B, where each group will receive a different treatment. Participants will receive either oral emraclidine or placebo. Approximately 258 participants will be enrolled across roughly 32 sites in the United States. Participants in Part A will be assigned to one of multiple ascending doses of emraclidine or placebo administered orally for 14 days or up to 21 days. Participants in Part B will receive Emraclidine or placebo administered orally for up to 42 days. Participants will be followed for 30 days after the last dose of the study drug. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.
This open-label study will utilize treatment with BXCL501 in order to assess the suitability of patient-and lay informant-assessed outcome measures for evaluation of severity of psychomotor agitation episodes in patients with Bipolar Disorders, Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective, and Schizophreniform disorders and correlate them with clinician-assessed ratings.
The purpose of this study is to provide an effective repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) treatment for depressive symptoms in patients with schizophrenia. Schizophrenia patients with depressive symptoms will be exposed to rTMS to improve their symptoms.
The goal of this study is to reduce Anticholinergic Medication (ACM) in persons with psychoses or serious mental illness, when these medications are no longer needed.
ML-007C-MA-211 is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of orally administered ML-007C-MA in inpatient adult participants aged 18 to 64 years with schizophrenia experiencing an acute exacerbation of psychosis. The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of ML-007C-MA compared with placebo in the treatment of subjects with inadequately controlled symptoms of schizophrenia as measured by the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) Total Score.
Schizophrenia - marked by delusions, hallucinations, and cognitive deficits - causes the most disability of any mental health condition, but existing treatments have significant side effect burden and are often ineffective. Disordered neural activity in the hippocampus likely contributes to schizophrenia symptoms, but to develop better therapies we need to understand whether hippocampal activity in schizophrenia can be systematically affected by non-invasive brain stimulation techniques like transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). This proposal will investigate the use of connectivity-guided theta burst brain stimulation to specifically target hippocampal function in schizophrenia, offering insights into fundamental hippocampal processes, schizophrenia pathophysiology, and potential avenues to use brain stimulation as a therapeutic tool in this devastating illness.
This study is recruiting participants who are experiencing a first episode of psychosis and who have certain genetic factors that may make them respond better to certain medications that are used to treat people with psychosis.
The study design is a de-escalation of current atypical AP treatment to X/T at a maintenance dose of X/T established either at 100 mg xanomeline/20 mg trospium chloride BID (total daily dose 200 mg xanomeline/40 mg trospium chloride) or 125 mg xanomeline/30 mg trospium chloride BID (total daily dose 250 mg xanomeline/60 mg trospium chloride) based on participants' clinical response and/or tolerability. While the package insert for X/T provides guidance for clinicians on dosing, this study is designed to assess how transitioning will occur in the "real world" situation.
This study aims to identify novel markers of psychosis using electroencephalography (EEG).
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to be adequately powered to evaluate the effect of ketogenic metabolic therapy on the quality of life in serious mental illness, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder.
