Extrait

(1) Is amisulpride superior to placebo in the treatment of very late-onset schizophrenia-like psychosis over 12 weeks as measured by significant differences between amisulpride and placebo treated groups in improvements in score on the brief psychiatric rating scale (BPRS) largely driven by improvements in the hostility, suspiciousness, hallucinations, tension, uncooperativeness and motor hyperactivity sub-scores? (2) Is prolonged treatment after 12 weeks superior to treatment withdrawal to receive placebo over the next 12 weeks as measured by significant differences in BPRS scores between groups and significantly greater numbers of patients in the group randomised to receive placebo being withdrawn to open treatment with amisulpride by their physicians?
