Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

Where is the study taking place?

What are the possible benefits and risks?

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

What does the primary outcome measure?

Comparison of weight change from baseline to Week 16 in patients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder treated with aripiprazole or olanzapine. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00095524, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
