Kahn Study; Investigation Of The Efficacy Of Ziprasidone Versus Olanzapine In The Management Of Recent-Onset Psychosis; A Flexible-Dose, Parallel Group, Double-Blind Study

February 18, 2021 updated by: Pfizer's Upjohn has merged with Mylan to form Viatris Inc.

A Multicenter, Double-Blind, Randomized Trial Of Ziprasidone (80 - 160 Mg) Versus Olanzapine (10 - 20 Mg) In Patients With Recent-Onset Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective And Schizophreniform Disorder.

This study intends to compare novel antipsychotics ziprasidone and olanzapine, to confirm the findings of an open study -where stable patients receiving olanzapine switched to ziprasidone- which showed maintenance of clinical effect with improvements in all domains of cognitive function at 6 weeks (Daniel, 1999). Direct comparison of the two agents in a well-controlled double-blind fashion will allow an evaluation of the effect on cognitive function in the short and long-term management of patients with recent-onset schizophrenia, schizoaffective and schizophreniform disorder.
