The estradiol hypothesis was tested in a randomized-controlled trial in which estradiol was given to women with schizophrenia, schizoaffective or schizophreniform disorder aged 18 to 45 - Kulkarni 2014. In that 3 arms trial, Kulkarni administered transdermal 100 µg estradiol/200 µg estradiol/ placebo to patients receiving anti-psychotics and reported reductions in PANSS positive, general and total symptoms in both estradiol patients' groups compared with the placebo group. Patients receiving 200 µg experienced greater improvement, specifically in the PANSS positive subscale, the effect size was 0.44.\n\nThe objective of this study is to attempt to confirm Kulkarni's trial in a large-scale trial. This proposed study is a 2-arm study, in which patients will be randomized to either 200 µg estradiol or placebo in order to test the effectiveness of estradiol on women of childbearing age with schizophrenia, schizoaffective or schizophreniform disorder for a limited period of 56 days."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'FEMALE', 'stdAges': ['ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '45 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'genderBased': True, 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n1.
