Blood test may predict catatonia drug response
NCT ID NCT04530734
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 100 adults with catatonia, a severe movement and mood disorder. Researchers want to see if the amount of lorazepam in the blood after 3 days of treatment can predict who will get better. They also check if certain genes affect how the body processes the drug, which could help doctors adjust treatment sooner.
