Dual Modulation of Sigma-1 and NMDA Receptors in the Treatment of Schizophrenia


Sponsor

China Medical University Hospital

Enrollment

90 participants

Start Date

Sep 23, 2024

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

sigma-1 receptor (S1R) agonistic property have been tested in clinical trials for the treatment of schizophrenia. In addition, previous studies found that some NMDA receptor (NMDAR)-enhancing agents were able to improve clinical symptoms of patients with chronic schizophrenia. Whether combined treatment of an S1R agonist and an NMDA-enhancing agent can be better than an S1R agonist alone deserves study.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study tests a combination drug approach targeting two specific brain receptors (Sigma-1 and NMDA) in people with schizophrenia who haven't responded well to at least two standard antipsychotic medications. It aims to find new ways to treat this hard-to-manage form of schizophrenia. **You may be eligible if...** - You have been diagnosed with schizophrenia (DSM-5 criteria) - You have not responded adequately to at least two different antipsychotic medications (not counting clozapine) - Your symptoms are stable but persistent, and your antipsychotic dose has been unchanged for at least 3 months - You are physically healthy with normal lab results - You can communicate effectively and complete study assessments **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are currently being treated with clozapine - You have significant depression alongside schizophrenia - You have unstable physical health or abnormal lab results - You are pregnant Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
