Ziprasidone for Clozapine- or Olanzapine-Associated Diabetes Mellitus

Summary

This study is a six-week, open label trial of the novel antipsychotic agent, ziprasidone, added to a stable dose of clozapine or olanzapine in 40 diabetes mellitus patients, patients with an impaired fasting glucose or insulin resistance with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. The first two weeks will be a fixed-dose of ziprasidone 40 mg twice a day. During weeks 2-6, the ziprasidone dose may be increased up to 80 mg twice a day.
