Vitucci Memorial Lecture October 8, 2025, 12pm Eastern Standard Time

The CURESZ Foundation welcomes John Kane, MD, to present a virtual lecture in memory of Anthony Vitucci titled:

The Management of Treatment Resistant Schizophrenia: How Far Have We Come? 在此处查看讲座。

Although considerable progress has been made in the treatment of schizophrenia and there are numerous effective antipsychotic medications available, a substantial proportion of individuals do not respond adequately to these drugs. Estimates suggest that 15-20% of people experiencing their first episode of schizophrenia are treatment resistant and the prevalence increases to at least 30% over the ensuing decades. This lecture will review the potential factors contributing to treatment resistance, as well as current strategies for identification and management. Clozapine remains the only medication with regulatory approval for this indication, yet it is grossly underutilized. Potential reasons for that and strategies to address the gap will be discussed.
