MT1988 for High Risk of Psychosis

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how tests undertaken by people at high risk of developing psychosis (aged 17 to 30 years old) change when those people are given the study drug MT1988 daily for 8 weeks. This will help identify tests that could be used in later trials developing treatments for symptoms in people at high risk of developing psychosis, to measure whether those new treatments are effective. The main question this trial aims to answer is: Can any of the tests (biomarkers) used in this study detect changes in participants dosed with one of two different dose levels of MT1988? Researchers will compare the results from two dose levels of MT1988 to a placebo group. Researchers do not expect to see the test results change in participants taking placebo and this will be compared to changes expected in test results in participants taking MT1988. Participants will: * take a dose of MT1988 or placebo twice per day for 8 weeks * attend clinic appointments every two weeks to undertake assessments * report any side effects they experience to the researchers

Why Other Patients Applied

"I've tried many medications that didn't work that well. I really really want to be better and function in society... a different kind of treatment could help."

FF
Schizophrenia PatientAge: 36

"I would like to get a medication that has fewer side effects than the ones I've used. Many antipsychotics just make me numb or flat and I can't really think. Also I like the idea of helping in research to find better medications for schizephrenia."

VT
Schizophrenia PatientAge: 60

"My psychosis has been manageable for the past few years since I found an antipsychotic that works okay but I still struggle with a lot of mind fog and memory issues. I haven't heard of a treatment for those symptoms until learning about new research so I'm hoping to join a trial to get access."

AQ
Schizophrenia PatientAge: 40

"I really would love to be normal. A functioning part of society. It is very hard to hold a job with this condition. I need to be steady. I do NOT like my current meds or ones I've tried before, so new therapies are of interest to me. "

EC
Bipolar Disorder PatientAge: 42

"I’ve been diagnosed with Schizoaffective Disorder for over 5 years now and not found much relief in medication. One I’ve tried helped a bit but the side affects were overwhelming. Hoping I can gain some relief from this disorder and help advance research as well!"

Emraclidine for Schizophrenia

Marlton, New Jersey
Schizophrenia is a common and severe psychiatric illness characterized by extreme disturbances of cognition and thought, affecting language, perception and sense of self. This study will assess adverse events, change in disease activity, and how oral emraclidine moves through the body in adult participants with schizophrenia Emraclidine is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of schizophrenia. Participants are placed in one of two parts, Part A or Part B, where each group will receive a different treatment. Participants will receive either oral emraclidine or placebo. Approximately 258 participants will be enrolled across roughly 32 sites in the United States. Participants in Part A will be assigned to one of multiple ascending doses of emraclidine or placebo administered orally for 14 days or up to 21 days. Participants in Part B will receive Emraclidine or placebo administered orally for up to 42 days. Participants will be followed for 30 days after the last dose of the study drug. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.

Positive Emotion Upregulation for Schizophrenia

Piscataway, New Jersey
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if attention and ways of thinking impact decision-making and brain processes related to decision-making in people with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder relative to people without either condition. It will also learn how brain functioning during decision-making relates to real-world decisions made during daily life. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does paying attention to specific information impact decision-making and brain processes? * Does thinking in a certain way according to specific 'thinking strategies' improve brain processes related to decision-making? * Does brain functioning during decision-making relate to real-world choices to engage in activities? Researchers will compare brain functioning and decision-making on computer tasks of gambling after participants have been trained to use a positive thinking strategy. They will compare what is different in the brain and behavior when participants use this strategy and when they do not. Participants will also answer brief surveys about activities and feelings for a week in their daily lives. Participants will: * Complete several hours of clinical interviewing, cognitive tests, and surveys of about symptoms, experiences, and personality * Complete computer tasks about gambling decisions during MRI brain scanning and while having their visual attention measured using eye-tracking * Complete brief surveys about their activities and feelings 5 times a day for 1 week using a cell phone. Each survey only take several minutes.

Behavioral Activation for Serious Mental Illness

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
The goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of an behavioral activation intervention to increase meaningful activity and community participation for people with serious mental illness. The overall objective of this study is to increase engagement in meaningful activities and community participation. The objectives of the project are as follows: 1. To determine if the intervention leads to increases the frequency and variety of activities. 2. To determine if the intervention leads to increases in community mobility. 3. To determine which demographic and environmental factors and mechanisms of action impact the effectiveness of the intervention. 4. To determine if the the intervention leads to an improvement in overall well-being (e.g., improved quality of life). Participants will be asked to attend a 2-hour weekly online session for 10 weeks and then a 1-hour online monthly session for a 3 month maintenance period. For data collection, participants will also be asked to: 1. Complete three, approximately 1-hour interviews at baseline, after the 10 week intervention, and again at the end of the maintenance period; 2. Carry a mobile phone with a global positioning system app to track their movements outside their home for 2 weeks at a time, at three separate times (e.g., baseline, after the intervention, and at the end of the maintenance period); and 3. Complete a 15 minute weekly interviews for 26 weeks about their daily activities and participation. The study will enroll 52 participants split into 4 cohorts of 13. The study will use a multiple baseline design and, as such, all participants will receive the intervention and there is no control group.

Enhanced Screening & Communication for Psychosis

New York, New York
The goal of this project is to investigate whether a systematic screening approach enhanced by an innovative model of communicating information about psychosis and treatment options to patients and families (ComPsych) can reduce Duration of Untreated Psychosis (DUP) by facilitating early identification of first episode psychosis (FEP) cases, rapid referral to specialty care and engagement in treatment. The study team will use a stepped-wedge cluster randomized controlled trial design to compare a systematic screening and communication method (SCM) to systematic screening method (SM) to evaluate whether SCM substantially reduces DUP. The study team hypothesize that: (1) SCM will result in a higher number of individuals initiating specialty services compared to SM; (2) The mean DUP of FEP individuals in SCM condition will be lower than the mean DUP of FEP individuals in SM condition, due to the reduced time to initiate FEP services. We will also conduct a qualitative study to examine implementation barriers and facilitators of SCM.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Schizophrenia clinical trials in New Jersey pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Schizophrenia clinical trials in New Jersey work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Schizophrenia trials in New Jersey 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length in New Jersey for Schizophrenia is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility in New Jersey several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Schizophrenia medical study in New Jersey?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Schizophrenia clinical trials in New Jersey?

Most recently, we added KarXT for Schizophrenia, MT1988 for High Risk of Psychosis and Evenamide for Treatment-Resistant Schizophrenia to the Power online platform.

Why is schizophrenia more common now?

Most studies show the yearly number of new schizophrenia cases hasn’t skyrocketed; it only feels more common because doctors now catch milder cases and people with the illness live longer, so more are counted at any one time. Modern lifestyle changes—growing up in crowded cities, high-potency cannabis use, migration stress, older parenthood, and ongoing poverty—do add modest risk for certain groups, nudging overall figures upward. Recognising these drivers guides prevention efforts like early screening, substance-use education, urban social support, and good prenatal care.

What is the best injection for schizophrenia?

There isn’t one “best” injection for everyone with schizophrenia. Doctors usually choose among long-acting injectables such as paliperidone (monthly to every 6 months), aripiprazole (monthly or every 2–3 months) or risperidone (every 2 weeks to monthly) based on which oral version has helped you before, how often you can come for shots, and which side-effects you’re most sensitive to. Your psychiatrist will review these factors—plus cost, other health conditions and personal preference—to decide which LAI is the safest and most effective fit for you.

Who is most likely to recover from schizophrenia?

Research shows the best odds of meaningful recovery occur in people who get treatment quickly after their first symptoms, keep taking medication and using psychological/rehab supports, avoid alcohol or drugs, and have steady family or community support; women and those whose illness starts later in their 20s also tend to fare somewhat better, but these fixed factors matter less than the modifiable ones above. In short, while anyone with schizophrenia can improve, the combination of early intervention, sticking with care, healthy lifestyle, and strong social ties makes the biggest difference in who recovers.

Is schizophrenia inherited from mother or father?

Schizophrenia risk is passed down through many genes that you receive from both parents, and large studies do not show a consistent advantage of either the mother’s or the father’s side. Compared with the 1 % lifetime risk in the general population, the chance rises to about 10 % if one parent has schizophrenia and up to 40 % if both do; factors such as pregnancy complications, cannabis use, severe stress, or very advanced paternal age can add to that risk. Families with a history of the illness may benefit from genetic counselling and early mental-health check-ups during adolescence so any warning signs can be managed promptly.

How is schizophrenia viewed in China?

China does not have a single view of schizophrenia: in big cities many people now regard it as a treatable brain disorder, but in rural areas it may still be linked to spirit possession or seen as a source of family “shame,” so relatives often hide the illness and shoulder most care. High stigma persists because unusual behaviour is felt to threaten the family’s “face,” yet government programs such as the nationwide 686 follow-up system and the 2013 Mental-Health Law are expanding hospital care, community visits, and public education. Overall, attitudes are gradually shifting toward acceptance, but progress is uneven and support for both patients and their families remains a work in progress.

Are there any clinical trials being done for schizophrenia?

Yes—dozens of studies are actively recruiting worldwide, ranging from novel medicines like KarXT (muscarinic M1/M4 agonist), ulotaront (TAAR1 agonist), and roluperidone (aimed at negative symptoms) to long-acting weekly risperidone implants (TV-46000) and app-based cognitive programs. You can see real-time listings, eligibility criteria, and locations by typing “schizophrenia” into ClinicalTrials.gov or the EU Clinical Trials Register and then reviewing the options with your psychiatrist to weigh potential benefits, risks, and travel demands.

What is the biggest problem of schizophrenia?

Schizophrenia isn’t defined by one “biggest problem”; clinicians group its effects into positive symptoms (hallucinations/delusions), disorganization, negative symptoms (loss of drive, social withdrawal) and cognitive deficits. Studies show that after acute psychosis is controlled, the lasting obstacles to working, studying and maintaining relationships are usually the negative and cognitive symptoms, so effective care pairs antipsychotic medication with therapies and skills training that rebuild motivation, thinking and daily-living abilities.

Who has the highest rate of schizophrenia?

Worldwide, the single highest recorded rates occur in young adult Black Caribbean or Black African men who are migrants (or children of migrants) living in large urban areas; their chance of developing schizophrenia can be 4- to 9-times higher than that of white native-born residents. In general, men have a modestly higher risk than women (about 1.4 : 1), but factors such as minority or migrant status and growing up in a high-density city raise risk far more than sex alone.

What's the latest schizophrenia can develop?

Most people who develop schizophrenia do so between their late teens and early 30s, but experts recognise “late-onset” cases appearing at 40-60 and a rarer “very-late-onset schizophrenia-like psychosis” beginning after 60. Because psychosis this late in life is uncommon and can mimic problems such as dementia, stroke, or severe depression, anyone with new hallucinations or delusions at these ages should be evaluated promptly by a mental-health professional and a physician to sort out the cause and start the right treatment.
