简要总结
This is a six week, double blind,placebo controlled study for patients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder treated with an atypical antipsychotic for at least two months. Subjects will be randomized to take armodafinil (Nuvigil) or placebo along with their current antipsychotic and tested at baseline and week 6 for differences in memory, attention and problem-solving ability. Changes in weight during the six week study will also be tracked.

研究组 & 干预措施
Armodafinil (Nuvigil)
First group will be randomized to take Armodafinil (Nuvigil) 150 mg, along with their current anti psychotic medication and tested at baseline and week 6 for differences in memory, attention and problem-solving ability. Changes in weight during the six week study will also be tracked.
干预措施: armodafinil (Nuvigil) (Drug)
Placebo
Second group will be randomized to take placebo,identical in appearance to active comparator, along with their current anti psychotic medication and tested at baseline and week 6 for differences in memory, attention and problem-solving ability. Changes in weight during the six week study will also be tracked.
干预措施: placebo (Drug)
结局指标
主要结局
Cognition Measured by AX-Continuous Performance Test (AX-CPT) D-prime Score
时间窗: Baseline and week 6
For the AX-CPT, subjects are required to maintain an attentional set across a delay interval in order to overcome a prepotent response tendency (target responses are required when an X is presented but only in the context of a preceding A; non-target conditions are AY, BX and BY). The dependent measure was d-prime at the long delay (calculated as AX hits minus BX false alarms, which is particularly sensitive to context processing impairments in individuals with schizophrenia.
