Official Title: Clinical Testing of a D1 Agonist for Cognitive Enhancement in Schizotypal Personality Disorder
Brief Summary:
Currently, no study to date has directly tested a selective D1R agonist in relation to the cognitive impairment of Schizophrenia without the confound of neuroleptics. The investigators propose to examine the efficacy of DAR-0100A, a highly selective, full D1R agonist supported by pre-clinical and preliminary pilot clinical data, in ameliorating the cognitive deficits in Schizotypal Personality Disordered subjects receiving no medications including antipsychotics.
The investigators hypothesize that 1) Baseline primary outcome measures will be impaired in Schizotypal personality disorder (SPD) subjects compared to controls, 2) SPD subjects on DAR-0100A will show improvement on primary measures greater than healthy controls and SPD patients randomized to placebo, and 3) SPD patients will show significant improvements on primary outcome variables on drug compared to placebo.
