Recruiting studies
- NCT06336382Recruiting
Tau protein study in late-onset psychosis
This study looks at brain proteins called tau in people who develop psychosis later in life (after age 60). Researchers want to understand how these proteins relate to symptoms, which may help find better treatments.
Manhasset, New YorkAges 65–85 - NCT07192042Recruiting
Testing a device to check sleep breathing in schizophrenia
This trial uses a non-wearable device to assess sleep-disordered breathing in people with schizophrenia who are hospitalized. It aims to understand if this easy method can help monitor sleep issues.
New Taipei CityAges 20–70 - NCT06340789RecruitingPhase 2
Sodium Benzoate Added to Antipsychotics for Resistant Schizophrenia
This study tests whether adding a supplement called sodium benzoate to your current antipsychotic medication can improve symptoms in schizophrenia that hasn't responded well to standard treatments. Researchers will measure brain chemistry changes and symptom improvement over time.
Chiayi CityAges 20–55 - NCT05958875RecruitingPhase 4
Six-week medicine switch for schizophrenia after first treatment failure
This trial tests whether a more intensive medication approach for schizophrenia (or related conditions) helps people who didn’t improve on their first tried medicine. Participants will usually switch medicines and be compared against “treatment as usual.”
InnsbruckAges 18–70 - NCT06969755RecruitingPhase 4
Brain scans and genetics to guide early schizophrenia treatment
This study tests whether using brain scans and genetic tests can help choose the best treatment for people early in their schizophrenia. It will check if these biomarkers can predict who will respond better to medication.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–35 - NCT05329363Recruiting
Early psychoeducation for people with schizophrenia or related disorders
This study tests a structured early educational program (“psychoeducation”) given to inpatients to help them understand their condition and cope. It may help people feel more informed and better supported during treatment.
BloisAges 18–65 - NCT07569471Recruiting
Group compassion therapy for psychosis beliefs
This study tests a new group-based therapy that combines compassion-focused techniques with cognitive behavioral therapy to help people with schizophrenia or related conditions change their beliefs about their psychosis. The goal is to reduce distress and improve how you cope with symptoms.
Scarborough Village, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07441928Recruiting
Smoking and brain connections in schizophrenia
This study looks at how smoking affects brain networks in people with schizophrenia. It uses brain scans to see differences between smokers and non-smokers.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT01730781Recruiting
PET scan study to image cannabinoid receptors in the brain
This study uses a special brain scan (PET) to measure cannabinoid receptors—areas in the brain that interact with cannabis-like chemicals. It may help researchers better understand how these receptors relate to conditions such as schizophrenia, PTSD, opioid use disorder, or early psychosis risk.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18–55

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for schizophrenia / schizoaffective disorder?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 81 recruiting schizophrenia / schizoaffective disorder studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a schizophrenia / schizoaffective disorder trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a schizophrenia / schizoaffective disorder trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
