Metabolic Effects of Olanzapine in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Psychosis
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Olanzapine for Schizophrenia. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study was to describe metabolic changes in the first 16 weeks of anti-psychotic treatment in previously drug-naïve patients with psychosis. We hypothesize that in drug-naive patients, greater insulin resistance prior to treatment predicts a disproportionately greater increase in insulin resistance with olanzapine treatment.
