This a randomized double-blind placebo controlled trial which aims to determine the beneficial effects of minocycline augmentation to clozapine in partial responders to Treatment Resistant Schizophrenia (TRS).
The primary objective is to determine if the addition of minocycline to Clozapine, Treatment as Usual (TAU) Improves negative symptoms and/or positive symptoms.
The secondary objectives are to determine:
The study will be a randomized double-blind placebo controlled trial of minocycline added to clozapine (Treatment as Usual) in TRS. There will be two treatment arms: one arm receiving TAU with minocycline and the other TAU with placebo for a period of twelve weeks.
