L’association de la clozapine à d’autres traitements,
pharmacologiques ou non pharmacologiques ne montre
pour l’instant que de faibles améliorations pour ces
patients.
Une des voies de recherche correspond à traiter
de façon plus globale, les comorbidités psychiatriques
entourant la schizophrénie, telles que la dépression,
l’anxiété et les abus de substances toxiques. Il en
résulte une poly-pharmacologie dont les effets ne
peuvent être suivis de façon globale, mais plutôt au
cas par cas63,64. D’autres voies de recherche, plus
moléculaires cette fois, concernent une hypothétique
origine inflammatoire à la schizophrénie65. Des études
chez les rats auraient ainsi montré un effet positif de
l’administration de célécoxib (inhibiteur de la cyclo-
oxygénase 2) sur le comportement de rats modèles66.
Plusieurs études de phase II ont aussi pu montrer un
avantage significatif à l’utilisation de cette drogue67.
Conflits d’intérêt : néant.
