PrimaryReceptor binding of [18F] ASEM-PET to nicotinic brain receptors (α7-nAChRs) in adults ages 18-55 year with SCZ vs. matched controls.60-74 days
The Primary Outcome Measure is volume of distribution (VT, represented as ml of plasma/cm\^3 of tissue) of alpha-7 nicotinic receptors (α7-nAChR) bound to by the \[18F\]ASEM radio tracer in the brain, comparing VT in people with SCZ with VT in otherwise healthy adults matched for all demographics (smoking status, age, sex, race/genotype, parental education).

PrimaryReceptor binding of [18F]AZAN to α4β2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (α4β2-nAChR) in adults ages 18-55 years with SCZ vs. matched controls.60-74 days
The Primary Outcome Measure is volume of distribution (VT, represented as ml of plasma/cm\^3 of tissue) of α4β2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (α4β2-nAChR) bound to by the \[18F\]AZAN radio tracer in the brain, comparing % receptor occupancy in people with SCZ with VT in otherwise healthy adults matched for all demographics (smoking status, age, sex, race/genotype, parental education).

PrimaryRelationship between α7-nAChR receptor binding VT and negative symptoms in adult patients ages 18-55 yrs with SCZ.60-74 days
The Primary Outcome Measure is the main effect of α7-nAChR receptor volume of distribution (VT, represented as ml of plasma/cm\^3 of tissue) on negative symptoms as measured by the negative symptom sub-scale of the Positive and Negative Symptoms Scale (PANSS) in SCZ patients.

The Primary Outcome Measure is the main effect of α4β2-nAChR volume of distribution (VT, represented as ml of plasma/cm\^3 of tissue) and the negative symptom sub-scale score of the Positive and Negative Symptoms Scale (PANSS) in SCZ.
ClinicalTrials.gov
PrimaryRelationship between α7-nAChR receptor binding VT and cognitive symptoms, as measured by the Stroop Color-Word Interference Test in SCZ vs. matched controls.60-74 days
The Primary Outcome Measure is the comparison of the main effect of receptor volume of distribution (VT, represented as ml of plasma/cm\^3 of tissue) on the Stroop Color-Word Interference Task score in SCZ vs. matched controls.

PrimaryRelationship between α4β2/α7-nAChR receptor binding VT and cognitive functioning, as measured by the Spatial Attention Resource Allocation Task (SARAT) in SCZ vs. matched controls.60-74 days
The Primary Outcome Measure is the comparison of the interaction between α4β2/α7-nAChR volume of distribution (VT, represented as ml of plasma/cm\^3 of tissue) and the Spatial Attention Resource Allocation Task (SARAT) score in SCZ vs. matched controls.

SecondaryRelationship between α4β2/α7-nAChR VT and tobacco use disorder in SCZ patients who are smokers vs. non-smoker SCZ patients treated with olanzapine.60-74 daysThe Primary Outcome Measure is the relationship between α4β2/α7-nAChR (VT, represented as ml of plasma/cm\^3 of tissue) and smoking status in SCZ taking olanzapine who smoke tobacco.ClinicalTrials.gov
SecondaryRelationship between the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) CHRNA7 rs3087454 and race in SCZ vs. matched controls.60-74 daysThe Primary Outcome Measure is the correlation between CHRNA7 rs3087454 and and race (non-Hispanic Caucasians and African Americans) in SCZ vs. matched controls.ClinicalTrials.gov
