NCT ID NCT06687694

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study investigates how the immune system influences psychotic symptoms and response to antipsychotic medication. Researchers will collect blood and spinal fluid from 500 participants, including those starting or changing antipsychotics and healthy controls. The goal is to find biomarkers that help diagnose, predict, and track treatment response, potentially leading to targeted immune-based therapies.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to immune-based treatments for psychosis and better ways to choose the right antipsychotic for each patient.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It is early-stage research, and findings may not directly lead to new therapies or apply to all patients.
