Have You Been Struggling to Feel Motivated?
A study to look at ways of treating negative symptoms of schizophrenia
Have you heard about the Convoke Study? People diagnosed with schizophrenia talk about their struggles with motivation and finding enjoyment in things. These are common negative symptoms of schizophrenia. Standard treatment for schizophrenia involves a combination of medication and therapy.
The Convoke Study will look at 2 mobile applications (apps) to see if they can support people with moderate to severe negative schizophrenia symptoms. These apps are investigational prescription digital therapeutics (PDTs) that are downloaded onto your smartphone. This study will see if an app can be part of a schizophrenia treatment plan. The results of this study could help other people who experience negative symptoms of schizophrenia.
We are looking for people who:
- are at least 18 years of age
- have a primary diagnosis of schizophrenia
- have been on a stable dose of antipsychotic medication for at least 12 weeks before the study treatment period
- own a smartphone compatible with Android 10 or greater, or iOS 14 or greater
To participate in the study, you must be available to use a mobile app for up to 22 weeks. The study also includes 4 study center assessment visits and 3 phone calls.
