What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study will analyze the complete DNA of 1,500 people in Manitoba—some with schizophrenia and some without—to find genetic differences linked to the illness. Researchers will also look at how genes affect medication response and side effects. The goal is to better understand schizophrenia and pave the way for more personalized treatments.

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 reveal new genetic markers for schizophrenia, leading to more personalized and effective treatments.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study that does not test a treatment, so it may not directly lead to new therapies. Results depend on the diversity and accuracy of genetic and health data.

Participants

About 1,500 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

The schizophrenia study population will consist of Manitoba residents aged 18 years and older with a clinical diagnosis of schizophrenia according to DSM-5 criteria. Participants will be recruited from the MPR, including individuals receiving care through the Early Psychosis Prevention and Intervention Service (EPPIS), Schizophrenia Treatment and Education Program (STEP), Program of Assertive Community Treatment (PACT), and Assertive Community Treatment/Flexible Assertive Community Treatment (ACT/FACT) teams. Eligible participants must be enrolled in the MPR and provide informed consent to participate in the genetic sub-study. Participants will provide saliva samples for DNA extraction and whole genome sequencing, and their genetic data will be linked with clinical, questionnaire, and provincial administrative health data to support research on the genetic basis of schizophrenia and related health outcomes.
