研究概览

简要总结

Aim of the study is to assess the effect of quetiapine treatment in neuroleptic naive, first-episode schizophrenic patients on aspects of functional and structural neuroplasticity assessed by means of transcranial magnetic stimulation and voxel-based morphometry. Main outcome measure is a change in gray matter density under quetiapine treatment from baseline to steady-state-treatment after 3 weeks.

  • Substance or alcohol dependence at enrollment (except dependence in full remission, and except for caffeine or nicotine dependence), as defined by DSM-IV criteria
  • Opiates, amphetamine, barbiturate, cocaine, cannabis, or hallucinogen abuse by DSM-IV criteria within 4 weeks prior to enrollment
  • Medical conditions that would affect absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of study treatment
  • Unstable or inadequately treated medical illness (e.g. angina pectoris, hypertension, congestive heart failure) as judged by the investigator
  • Involvement in the planning and conduct of the study
  • History of or evidence of significant brain malformation or neoplasm, head injury, cerebral vascular events, neurodegenerative disorder affecting the brain or prior brain surgery
