Abstract | Cognitive impairment associated with schizophrenia (CIAS) is widely regarded as a critically important treatment target for schizophrenia. Despite major efforts and a number of promising findings, we do not yet have an approved drug for CIAS. Similarly, promising cognitive remediation approaches are limited in their ability to help patients achieve real-world functional gains on a wide scale. This article provides an update and critical evaluation of recent treatment development activities for CIAS. First, we provide update on pharmacological approaches, which include a glutamatergic drug that is currently in Phase III trials for CIAS, and discuss factors that may have impacted past efforts to identify efficacious drugs. Second, we review positive findings, limitations, and current trends involving cognitive remediation approaches. Third, we consider newer transdiagnostic approaches aimed at looking beyond, or identifying more homogenous subgroups within, the diagnostic category schizophrenia to advance treatment development. Despite its many challenges, treatment development for CIAS remains a major public health issue and research continues to push forward on several encouraging fronts. |
