NCT ID NCT05340348

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

Summary

This study aims to create a 'patient library' by collecting blood, stool, and hair samples from 250 people aged 15 to 30 who have had a first psychotic episode or are at high risk. Researchers will track their mental health over 10 years using the CAARMS test. The goal is to better understand how psychosis develops and to identify markers that could predict who will get worse.

What this could lead to

If successful, this library could help researchers better understand early psychosis and identify who is at risk of developing schizophrenia.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not directly benefit participants and may take years to yield useful insights.
