  • 3. At study entry a Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS, Kay et al. 1987) total score of at least 75 AND a score of = 4 on any two of the items of the positive component factors (i.e. delusions, unusual thought content, hallucinatory behaviour, suspiciousness, grandiosity, lack of judgement and insight) AND at least a rating of 4 = moderately ill according to the Clinical Global Impression Scale (Guy 1976) to assure that participants are symptomatic.
  • 4. Increase in the level of care due to current acute episode (i.e. outpatient care to inpatient or day-clinic care) and this increase in care took place no longer than 3 working days before study entry
  • 5. Able to give informed consent.
  • 6. The criterion for the second randomisation is less than 25% Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS, Kay et al. 1987) total score reduction from baseline.
  • Are the trial subjects under 18? no
  • Number of subjects for this age range:
  • F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes

排除标准

  • 1. Contraindications for amisulpride or olanzapine (allergies, pregnancy etc).
  • 2. Known treatment resistance to study drugs as defined by the American/German/World Federation of Biological Psychiatry schizophrenia practice guidelines (Falkai et al. 2005, Lehman et al. 2004, Gaebel et al. 2006): insufficient response despite a trial of at least 4 to 6 weeks duration with sufficient doses (olan-zapine 15-20mg/day, amisulpride 600-800 mg/day), and despite appropriate compliance.
  • 3. Continuous treatment with study drugs in sufficient doses (olanzapine 15-20mg, amisulpride 600-800mg) and with adequate compliance in the 2 weeks before study entry
  • 4. Increase in the level of care (outpatient care to inpatient or day-clinic care) due to social reasons or side effect burden or >3 working days prior to study entry for any reason
  • 5. Current acute episode remained on a clinically unchanged level for 4 weeks prior to study entry despite adequate treatment and sufficient compliance with the treatment
  • 6. Received depot antipsychotic within 1 dose interval before inclusion, in the case of risperidone Consta last injection within 5 weeks (long half life of depots which would interact with study drugs, risperidone consta has a special metabolism).
  • 7. Actively suicidal (double-blind treatment unethical).
  • 8. Pregnancy (antipsychotic drug treatment very problematic).
  • 9. Patients with an DSM-IV TR diagnosis of a substance dependence (abuse is allowed to enhance gener-alisability) other than nicotine or caffeine within 3 months prior to baseline (these substances can interact with study drugs).
  • 10. Serious medical illnesses (double-blind psychotropic medication unethical).
