NCT ID NCT06957808
First seen Feb 17, 2026 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 10 times
Summary
This study looks at whether diroximel fumarate, a drug already used for multiple sclerosis, can increase a natural antioxidant called glutathione in the brains of people with schizophrenia. Thirty adults with stable schizophrenia will take the drug for two weeks, then either continue it or switch to a placebo for another two weeks. Researchers will use brain scans and electrical recordings to measure changes in brain chemistry, activity, and symptoms. The goal is to understand if boosting glutathione could be a new treatment target for schizophrenia.
