Conditions

Summary

Cognitive impairment, the core psychopathology of schizophrenia, usually persists in schizophrenia patients even during symptomatic remission. While cognitive impairment associated with schizophrenia (CIAS) is an important therapeutic target, hypofunction of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) is a key factor of CIAS. This study aims to examine the efficacy and safety of an NMDA-enhancer (NMDAE) for the treatment of CIAS in schizophrenia patients during symptomatic remission.
