Autifony and collaborators publish the results from a clinical trial of AUT00206 in patients with schizophrenia. The two peer-reviewed papers cover the results of studies conducted by Oliver Howes’s group at Kings College London and find important correlations between effects of AUT00206 on imaging biomarkers and measures of symptom improvement in a cohort of patients with schizophrenia:
