This test is for…
All people for whom clozapine is being considered plus:
- People with schizophrenia.
- Current clozapine patients who cannot achieve a therapeutic level despite high dose clozapine.
- Inadequate response to treatment despite the sequential use of adequate doses of at least 2 different antipsychotic drugs: at least 1 of the drugs should be a non-clozapine second-generation antipsychotic.
In addition, patients already receiving clozapine:
- Patients with only a partial treatment response.
- Patients where neutrophil counts necessitate interruption of treatment.
- Patients with possible benign ethnic neutropenia but their status is uncertain.

There are 24 million people in the world with treatment resistant schizophrenia (TRS)
Clozapine is the only effective treatment for TRS but is massively underused due to risk of adverse reactions.
The Myogenes Clozapine Test can minimise these risks, free up hospital beds, and save the NHS billions of pounds.

NICE Guidelines:
Adults with schizophrenia not responding to at least 2 antipsychotics should be offered clozapine.
However, clozapine is grossly underused whilst being the ONLY approved treatment for treatment-resistant schizophrenia.

Ethnic minority groups are less likely to receive clozapine
This is owing to benign ethnic neutropenia (BEN), prevalent in ethnic minority groups.
If you belong to an ethnic minority group, you are less likely to receive clozapine resulting in higher hospitalisation and mortality.
Hospital admissions for TRS will cost the NHS in excess of £5 billion over the next 3 years
Acute hospital beds are being unnecessarily occupied at an astronomical cost to the NHS.
The Myogenes Business Impact Report (BIM) produced by CorEvitas, part of Thermo Fisher in conjunction with Health Innovation East projects that The Clozapine Test can save the NHS an estimated £1.8 billion over 3 years whilst drastically reducing self-harm incidents and hospital admissions.
