Study Of An FDA-approved Drug As Additional Therapy In Patients With Schizophrenia

October 5, 2016 updated by: GlaxoSmithKline

A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Parallel Group Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of a Flexible Dose of Lamotrigine Compared to Placebo as an Adjunctive Therapy to an Atypical Antipsychotic Agent(s) in Subjects With Schizophrenia

This is a 12-week study for the treatment of chronic persistent symptoms in participants with schizophrenia. Participants on a stable, optimal dose of up to two atypical antipsychotics who fulfill the screening criteria will be randomized to receive either an FDA-approved drug or placebo in addition to the current treatment. Safety will be closely monitored through vital signs, various tests, and blood and urine samples.
