Recruiting studies in Texas
- NCT05303064RecruitingPhase 3
Study of weight gain medicine for teens with certain mood or psychosis
This Phase 3 study tests a treatment aimed at reducing unhealthy weight gain in teens with schizophrenia or bipolar I disorder, using changes in BMI (a height-and-weight measure). It may help families who are concerned about weight changes that can happen with some psychiatric medicines.
DeSoto, TexasAges 10–17 - NCT05025605RecruitingPhase 1
Study medicine for agitation in youth with bipolar or schizophrenia
This Phase 1 trial tests whether BXCL501 is safe and can help reduce agitation in children and teens who have bipolar disorder or schizophrenia. You may be considered if your agitation is significant during screening, but certain recent medication and health factors can make you ineligible.
DeSoto, TexasAges 10–17 - NCT07424404RecruitingPhase 3
Long-term safety study of a medication for psychiatric disorders in children and teens
This study tests a combination medicine (xanomeline and trospium chloride) to see if it is safe and tolerable over a longer period for children and adolescents with psychiatric disorders, especially those with autism-related irritability. It may help families understand if this treatment can be used beyond the initial study period.
Dallas, TexasAges 5–17 - NCT07379827Recruiting
A study on switching to KarXT for schizophrenia
This trial looks at how well KarXT works and what side effects it might have when people with schizophrenia switch to it from their current antipsychotic medication. It may be an option for those who have started KarXT recently or who plan to switch from their current treatment.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07369154RecruitingPhase 3
Long-term safety study of an investigational schizophrenia medication
This study is testing how safe and tolerable an investigational medication is over the long term (52 weeks) when added to your current antipsychotic treatment. It's for people with schizophrenia whose symptoms are stable, and it aims to see if the new medication can help without causing serious side effects.
DeSoto, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT07221877RecruitingPhase 4
Study of KarXT for urological safety in schizophrenia
This study tests a new medicine (KarXT) for schizophrenia, focusing on how it affects urological (bladder and urinary) safety. You'll stop your current antipsychotic and take the study drug to see if it works well and is safe for your urinary system.
Austin, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT07098169Recruiting
Testing a program to improve self-awareness for schizophrenia
This trial tests a program called iTEST that helps people with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder improve how accurately they understand their own thoughts. The program combines device use with feedback from a clinician or loved one to support better self-awareness.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT07101094Recruiting
Study on satisfaction with a new schizophrenia treatment
This study tracks how satisfied people with schizophrenia are with a new combination medicine called xanomeline and trospium chloride (XT). It aims to understand real-world experiences and benefits of this treatment.
El Paso, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07105111RecruitingPhase 4
Valbenazine for tardive dyskinesia after other treatment
This study tests if valbenazine helps adults with tardive dyskinesia whose symptoms continue even after taking or stopping another similar medication. Tardive dyskinesia involves uncontrollable movements from long-term use of certain mental health drugs.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07061288RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new injectable medicine for schizophrenia
This trial tests a new injectable form of KarXT for schizophrenia. It aims to see if the medicine is safe, tolerable, and how it works in the body.
Austin, TexasAges 18–55 - NCT06257056Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation for hard-to-treat schizophrenia
This trial tests whether deep brain stimulation (a device that sends electrical pulses to specific areas of the brain) can help people with schizophrenia whose symptoms have not improved with standard treatments. If you have ongoing psychosis and have tried several medications without success, this study may be an option for you.
Dallas, TexasAges 22–70 - NCT04580134RecruitingPhase 4
Clozapine study for people with a specific schizophrenia or bipolar type
This trial tests whether clozapine works better for people whose illness fits a specific “biotype-1” pattern. It may help reduce ongoing symptoms, but it also requires close safety monitoring.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–60 - NCT03971487RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Ocrelizumab for psychosis linked to an overactive immune system
This Phase 1/2 study tests ocrelizumab, a medicine that affects parts of the immune system, to see if it can improve psychosis symptoms in people with schizophrenia-spectrum disorders. It’s mainly for younger adults with ongoing psychosis and evidence that the symptoms began early in life, with certain infection/vaccine safety requirements.
Houston, TexasAges 18–35 - NCT02916810Recruiting
TMS for persistent auditory hallucinations using a new setup
This study tests a specific brain stimulation approach (TMS) to help reduce auditory hallucinations in adults with schizophrenia who have not improved enough with medications. It may help by changing how the brain regions involved in hearing voices are stimulated.
Houston, TexasAges 18–50 - NCT01409109Recruiting
Study database for brain signal markers in psychosis
This study builds a database of brain-signal measurements to help find “biomarkers” that may point to schizophrenia or related mental illnesses. Depending on whether you have a mental health diagnosis or you’re healthy, the study will collect information and brain data to compare groups.

What taking part in a schizophrenia study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

- Do I have to live in Texas to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Texas, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
