Efficacy of an Early Antipsychotic Switch in Case of Poor Initial Response to the Treatment of Schizophrenia

Summary

The main aim of the trial is to study whether a change of medication in non-responders to a two-weeks antipsychotic drug trial is more effective than continued treatment with the same antipsychotic. Hypothesis: Non-responders who are switched at 2 weeks to another antipsychotic are more frequently in symptomatic remission at week 8 than non-responders who stay on the same antipsychotic
