About this study

Official title: Validation of Molecular Imaging Technologies for Early Clinical Trials

To examine the feasibility of molecular imaging markers in clinical psychopharmacology

Read the detailed description

Clinical evaluation of patients with psychiatric disorders is mainly dependent on patients' reports and clinicians' observations. In order to develop objective and quantifiable measures of psychopathology, molecular imaging techniques will be used in patients receiving clozapine.

Being tested
clozapine
Keywords
clozapine, PET, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing clozapine in people with Schizophrenia and Schizoaffective Disorder, run by Seoul National University Bundang Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Nov 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jae Seung Chang, MD, PhD (82 31 787 7437, cjs0107@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

pharmacodynamics of F-18 artanserin (time frame: 84 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Nov 2013.
