NCT00369239

Brief Summary

The purpose of this research study is to see how well patients in an early phase of their illness respond to treatment and whether this depends on how well they functioned socially, academically and vocationally before becoming ill. The study also examines whether patients with more insight into their illness have better outcomes.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • To assess the use of RLAI in patients in the early phases of psychosis and to test the hypothesis that patients with good vs. poor premorbid functioning will have better treatment response over 6 months as assessed with the Premorbid Adjustment Scale.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • The association of insight and outcomes will be examined using SAI-E and insight item (G 12) from PANSS. Effectiveness (CGI-S/C, PANSS, retention rate), functioning (SF-36, rehospitalisation rates) and safety and tolerability will be assessed.
