CONNEX 3 Study for Schizophrenia (H-49447 )

Can research change the way people live with schizophrenia?

Schizophrenia is a condition that negatively affects people’s mental health in different ways.

For example, it can affect a person’s mood or behavior. It can also affect the way a person thinks, which includes their memory and how they process things. Doctors call this “cognitive impairment.”

Examples of cognitive impairment include:

• Forgetting where you put something
• Not being able to focus while reading a book or watching a movie
• Being unable to calculate the correct change when you pay for something in cash
• Not being able to plan ahead so you arrive on time.

To qualify, you must:

• Be 18-50 years of age and diagnosed with schizophrenia
• Have been taking the same medication for schizophrenia for at least three months
• Experience trouble with cognitive tasks, such as remembering things or staying focused
• Be able to attend study visits with someone they see and speak to regularly (a study partner)
• Not have been hospitalized for symptoms related to schizophrenia within the last three months or have had suicidal behavior in the past year.

Participants will receive study-related medical care and investigational study medication at no cost and may be eligible for compensation for time and travel.
