Condition(s) studied

Schizophrenia

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

S1RA plus NMDAE →S1RA plus Placebo Cap

S1RA plus NMDAE: Use of an S1R agonist plus an NMDA enhancer for the treatment of treatment-resistant schizophrenia.

S1RA plus Placebo Cap: Use of an S1R agonist plus placebo as a comparator

Study summary

sigma-1 receptor (S1R) agonistic property have been tested in clinical trials for the treatment of schizophrenia. In addition, previous studies found that some NMDA receptor (NMDAR)-enhancing agents were able to improve clinical symptoms of patients with chronic schizophrenia. Whether combined treatment of an S1R agonist and an NMDA-enhancing agent can be better than an S1R agonist alone deserves study.
