This study looks at how well patients with bipolar disorder do while taking the medication olanzapine. You will continue your regular treatment, and answer questions about your experience.
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 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 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 Phase 3 study tests whether brexpiprazole can help treat bipolar depression that has not responded to previous treatments. It compares the study medicine to a placebo (inactive pill) for people with bipolar I or II depression.
This study looks at how the body processes clozapine (a medicine for schizophrenia) and its side effects, by checking blood levels at specific times. It aims to find the best time to draw blood for more accurate dosing and fewer side effects.
