氯氮平仍然是唯一被批准用于治疗难治性精神分裂症的药物。但使用不足是常态。2010年,纽约州精神卫生办公室开始了一项多方面的倡议,以促进氯氮平的循证使用。从2009年到2013年,在缺乏资金充足的药品营销活动的情况下,在诊断为精神分裂症的成年纽约医疗补助接受者中,新的氯氮平试验在所有新的门诊抗精神病药物试验中的比例增加了40%。最大的收益发生在国营诊所。纽约的经验证明了让氯氮平更容易被那些最有可能受益的病人所接受的可行性。
Clozapine remains the only medication approved for treatment-resistant schizophrenia. But underuse is the norm. In 2010, the New York State Office of Mental Health began a multifaceted initiative to promote the evidence-based use of clozapine. From 2009 to 2013, in the absence of a well-funded pharmaceutical marketing campaign, the proportion of new clozapine trials among all new outpatient antipsychotic trials increased 40% among adult New York Medicaid recipients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia. The largest gains occurred in state-operated clinics. New York's experience demonstrates the feasibility of making clozapine more accessible to patients who stand to benefit most.
