Background: Antipsychotic-induced weight gain (AIWG) is a common side effect of antipsychotic drugs and may lead to cardiometabolic comorbidities. There is an urgent public health need to identify patients at high risk of AIWG and determine potential biomarkers for AIWG.
Methods: In the Sequential Multiple-Assignment Randomized Trials to Compare Antipsychotic Treatments (SMART-CAT) trail, first-episode schizophrenia patients were randomly assigned to olanzapine, risperidone, perphenazine, amisulpride or aripiprazole for 8 weeks.

In the area of drug research, several computational drug repurposing studies have highlighted candidate repurposed drugs, as well as clinical trial studies that have tested/are testing drugs in different phases. To the best of our knowledge, the aggregation of the proposed lists of drugs by previous studies has not been extensively exploited towards generating a dynamic reference matrix with enhanced resolution. To fill this knowledge gap, we performed weight-modulated majority voting of the modes of action, initial indications and targeted pathways of the drugs in a well-known repository, namely the Drug Repurposing Hub.

Background: There are no recommendations based on the efficacy of specific drugs for the treatment of psychotic depression. To address this evidence gap, we did a network meta-analysis to assess and compare the efficacy and safety of pharmacological treatments for psychotic depression.
Methods: In this systematic review and network meta-analysis, we searched ClinicalTrials.

In this review, we summarized the current literature on the impact of phenothiazine derivatives on autophagy in vitro. Phenothiazines are antipsychotic drugs used in the treatment of schizophrenia, which is related to altered neurotransmission and dysregulation of neuronal autophagy. Thus, phenothiazine derivatives can impact autophagy.
