CATIE (Clinical Antipsychotic Trials of Intervention Effectiveness)

CATIE (Clinical Antipsychotic Trials of Intervention Effectiveness) was a large research study conducted to compare the real-world benefits and side effects of different antipsychotic medications used to treat schizophrenia. It aimed to find out which drugs are most effective at reducing symptoms, how they impact patients’ quality of life, and their tolerability. The study helped clinicians make better informed choices by providing evidence on the effectiveness and safety of various antipsychotics in everyday clinical settings, ultimately improving treatment outcomes for individuals with schizophrenia.
