Clozapine:A 2-year Open Trial in Parkinson's Disease Patients with Psychosis
Neurol 44:544-546, Factor,S.A.,et al, 1994
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
These results demonstrate that clozapine therapy can be effective in treating psychosis in PD patients over 1 to 2 years.The decline in efficacy in the second year was most likely related to an increase in daily levodopa dose,progression of dementia(illustrated by a decline in MMSE score),and an inability of PD patients to tolerate higher doses of clozapine.
