Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) Total Score for Schizophrenia

    The PANSS scale is used to assess the neuropsychiatric symptoms of schizophrenia. The 30-item PANSS scale provides a total score (sum of the scores of all 30 items) and scores for 3 subscales, the positive subscale (7 items), the negative subscale (7 items),and the general psychopathology subscale (16 items), each item rated on a scale of 1 (absent) to 7 (extreme).

    Baseline to the last postrandomization assessment in the double-blind treatment period (approximately 13 weeks)

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • The Change From Baseline for the CGI-S Score

    Baseline to the last postrandomization assessment in the double-blind treatment period (approximately 13 weeks)]

  • The Change From Baseline in the PSP Score

    Baseline to the last postrandomization assessment in the double-blind treatment period (approximately 13 weeks)
