This double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group Phase II trial assessed the efficacy and safety of pharmacological augmentation of at-home computerized cognitive training (CCT) with iclepertin (BI 425809, a glycine transporter-1 inhibitor). Participants with schizophrenia (aged 18-50 years) on stable antipsychotic therapy, who were compliant with CCT during the run-in period, were enrolled.
