										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The trial looks at people with <b>Schizophrenia spectrum disorder</b>, a mental health condition that can cause hallucinations, delusions, and difficulties thinking clearly. The study uses the medication <b>rituximab</b>, which works by changing the activity of the immune system. The drug is given by an <b>infusion</b>, a process where the medicine is slowly delivered into a vein through a small tube.</p>
<p>The purpose of the study is to evaluate the long‑term outcomes and safety of repeated adjuvant (additional) treatment with rituximab in this condition. Participants receive two infusions several weeks apart and are then followed for several months with regular clinic visits to check how they feel and to monitor any side effects.</p>
<p>During the follow‑up, doctors use simple rating scales such as the Clinical Global Impression – Improvement, which measures how much a person’s symptoms have gotten better, and the Clinical Global Impression – Severity, which rates how serious the illness is. Patients also complete short questionnaires about their overall health, daily functioning, and any changes in blood tests that may show immune system activity. Family members may be asked to give their view of any improvement as well.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The study looks at two conditions: <b>Schizophrenia</b> in teenagers aged 13‑17 and irritability that can occur in children and adolescents with <b>Autism Spectrum Disorder</b>. The medication being tested is a combination capsule that contains two active ingredients, <b>trospium chloride</b> and <b>xanomeline tartrate</b>. The product is known by the code name <b>KarXT</b> when both ingredients are used, and by <b>KarX-EC</b> when only xanomeline tartrate is given. The main aim of the trial is to see how safe and tolerable the medicine is when taken for a long period.</p>
<p>Participants will take the study drug by mouth every day for several months, with regular visits to check for any side effects and to answer simple questionnaires. Researchers will monitor for any new health problems, serious problems, and specific symptoms related to the study drugs. They will also use a few rating tools to watch for movement‑related side effects and to assess thoughts of self‑harm, using the <b>C-SSRS</b> questionnaire and movement scales called the <b>SAS</b>, <b>BARS</b>, and <b>AIMS</b>. The study ends after the treatment period and a short follow‑up to confirm the safety findings.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This study is looking at <b>schizophrenia</b>, which is a mental health condition that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. People with schizophrenia may experience symptoms such as hearing voices, having unusual beliefs, feeling confused, or having difficulty organizing their thoughts. The treatment being tested is called <b>NBI-1117568</b>, also known by its scientific name <b>direclidine</b>, which comes in capsule form and is taken by mouth. Some people in the study will receive the actual medication while others will receive a <b>placebo</b>.</p>
<p>The purpose of this study is to see if NBI-1117568 works better than placebo at improving the behavioral and psychological symptoms of schizophrenia in adults. The study will look at whether the medication can help reduce symptoms and improve the overall condition of people who are experiencing a sudden worsening of their schizophrenia symptoms that requires them to stay in the hospital. The study will also check how safe the medication is and whether people can tolerate it well.</p>
<p>People taking part in this study will be adults with schizophrenia who are currently in the hospital because their symptoms have gotten worse recently. The study will last for 5 weeks, during which time participants will take either NBI-1117568 or placebo capsules. Throughout the study, doctors will measure changes in symptoms using rating scales to see how well the treatment is working compared to placebo.</p>

The study will test a medication called <b>brexpiprazole</b> that is given once a week. This medication comes in two forms: one is called <b>brexpiprazole fumarate</b> and another is called <b>RXULTI</b>. Some people in the study will receive placebo instead of the active medication. The purpose of this study is to see if brexpiprazole given once a week works better than placebo in treating the acute symptoms of schizophrenia.</p>
<p>People taking part in this study will have schizophrenia with symptoms that have gotten worse and will either be in the hospital or need to be in the hospital because of their condition. Their symptoms must have started getting worse within the past two months. Before joining the study, they must have been treated with other antipsychotic medications that worked for them in the past year. During the study, participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the brexpiprazole medication or placebo, and neither they nor their doctors will know which one they are getting. The treatment will be given by mouth as tablets.</p>
<p>The study will measure how much the symptoms change from the beginning of the study to week six. Doctors will use a standard rating scale to measure the symptoms of schizophrenia throughout the study period. The medication will be given once a week, and the study will track how well it works and whether it is safe for people with acute schizophrenia.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial is focused on studying the long-term safety of a medication called <i>Iclepertin</i> in individuals with <i>schizophrenia</i>. Schizophrenia is a mental health condition that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. The trial involves participants who have previously completed a 26-week treatment period with Iclepertin or a matching placebo in earlier studies. The medication is taken as a film-coated tablet once daily.</p>
<p>The purpose of this study is to gather additional safety information about Iclepertin in patients who have cognitive impairment due to schizophrenia. Cognitive impairment refers to difficulties with thinking, memory, and concentration, which can be a part of schizophrenia. Participants in this study will continue to take Iclepertin daily for up to 12 months. The study will monitor the occurrence of any new or worsening side effects, known as treatment emergent adverse events, throughout the trial.</p>
<p>In addition to monitoring side effects, the study will also assess changes in the severity of the participants&#8217; condition using a measure called the Clinical Global Impressions – Severity (CGI-S) scale. This scale helps to evaluate how severe the symptoms are at the start of the study compared to the end. The study aims to provide valuable information on the long-term safety of Iclepertin for people living with schizophrenia.</p>
