Use of intramuscular clozapine in initiating and maintaining clozapine treatment in treatment-resistant schizophrenia

  • Applicant: cecilia casetta
  • Project ID: 19-027

Clozapine is the gold standard treatment for treatment resistant schizophrenia but it is rarely enforced and therefore rarely used in non-compliant patients. We aim to investigate whether the use of intramuscular (IM) clozapine allows patients who refuse the oral formulation to be started and maintained on clozapine.
