In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The outline of the current project is to establish a cohort of patients with treatment refractory schizophrenia eligible for clozapine, to identify clinical and biological characteristics of clozapine responding patients. Patients will be offered treatment with clozapine according to national clinical guidelines. Before clozapine is initiated, patients will be offered a thoroughly neurobiological examination, and re-examination will be carried out after 12 weeks of treatment. The primary focus of the examinations will be immunological markers and autoantibodies in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid, permeability of the blood-brain barrier and magnetic resonance imaging of structural, neurochemical and functional brain changes.
