Prolonged-release Melatonin Versus Placebo for Benzodiazepine Discontinuation in people with Schizophrenia: a study
This study is completed in Denmark. It focuses on schizophrenia.
Key information made simple
What is this study testing?
This study is testing whether a study medication may be useful for adults experiencing schizophrenia.
What would participation involve?
Participants may receive a study medication, attend study visits with the research team. The protocol may also involve randomization, placebo, or a comparison group. The registry lists locations in Denmark.
Who is it mainly for?
This study appears to be mainly for adults with schizophrenia.
What should you check before joining?
Ask about the dose, safety monitoring, and possible side effects, whether there is placebo, randomization, or a comparison group, how many visits or travel steps are needed, the exact eligibility criteria.
Your next step
The official record suggests in-person participation through a university, with sites including Center for Neuropsychiatric Schizophrenia Research (CNSR)/Center for Clinical Intervention and Neuropsychiatric Schizophrenia Research (CINS), University of Copenhagen, Mental Health Centre Glostrup, Mental Health Services - Capital Region of Denmark in Glostrup Municipality. Participation appears to involve guided sessions or support activities with check-ins on how they fit into daily life. The main fit is usually matching the main diagnosis and being able to understand the study and consent, while common reasons not to take part include pregnancy or breastfeeding and other factors that could make participation unsuitable. This is a later-stage study, which usually means the approach is being followed in broader real-world use.
Questions to ask before joining
- What are the exact eligibility criteria, and what could exclude someone?
- How many visits, assessments, or follow-ups are expected, and over what period?
- What risks, side effects, practical burdens, or alternatives should be understood first?

Questions about this study
What is this study trying to understand?
This study is exploring medication or study treatment for people with schizophrenia. Participants may complete study visits, assessments, or follow-up activities defined by the research team. Direct benefit is not guaranteed. The detailed objective is not always clearly listed in the public registry; the study team can confirm.
Does this study involve a medication?
This appears to be a medication / drug study. The phase is not clearly listed in the public registry. Phase is mostly relevant for medication studies and some device studies. For this study, it may be more useful to look at what is required, the duration, visits, and eligibility criteria.
Who might this study be for?
This study may concern people with schizophrenia; age range: Over 18 Years. The criteria appear fairly specific, but you should not assume you are eligible. The study team must confirm diagnosis, age, exclusions, available locations, and next steps.
What would I likely need to do?
You may need to take a study treatment and have regular medical follow-up. The listed study locations suggest that at least part of participation may involve a physical site. Ask whether some steps can be done remotely.
Will I need to change, stop, or stabilize my current treatment?
The public registry appears to mention rules about current treatment, stability, stopping treatment, or dose changes. Do not change your treatment for a study without medical guidance. Ask the study team and your clinician what is required, what is not allowed, and how safety is monitored.
Will I need to travel or attend in-person visits?
The listed study locations suggest that at least part of participation may involve a physical site. Ask which sites are open, how many visits are expected, whether any steps can be done remotely, and whether travel costs or compensation are listed.
Who is behind this study?
This study is sponsored by Lone Baandrup, which appears to be unknown or unclear. If available, it can be useful to check the sponsor website, collaborators, investigator affiliation, and the official registry before deciding. HopeStage does not judge the quality of a sponsor or researcher, but helps you identify what to verify.
Can I still join this study?
The registry indicates that this study is completed. It may still be useful for understanding the research, but you are unlikely to be able to join.
