Switching from twice-daily to once-daily clozapine for schizophrenia
Treatments studied
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether taking clozapine once a day (instead of twice a day) works safely for people with schizophrenia. It may help by simplifying your dosing schedule while closely monitoring your wellbeing.

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.
This trial tests whether clozapine can reduce repeat violent behavior in people with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. Participants are randomly assigned to clozapine or usual care to see which approach works better for preventing violence.
This study looks at “biomarkers,” or blood measures, in people with schizophrenia who respond to clozapine. It may help researchers understand who benefits from clozapine and why, by linking test results to symptom changes.
This trial tests whether a regular exercise program can help improve symptoms, thinking, and quality of life for people with schizophrenia who take a specific medication called clozapine.
This study tests switching from a long-acting injectable antipsychotic (paliperidone palmitate) to daily oral antipsychotics in people with schizophrenia who are currently stable. The goal is to see if the switch helps maintain symptom control and improve daily functioning.
This trial tests whether adding lumateperone, an antipsychotic medication, to clozapine can improve metabolic health in people with schizophrenia. It aims to see if this combination helps with weight, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels.
