NCT00728195

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 3 fixed doses of JNJ-37822681 compared with placebo (an inactive substance that is compared with a drug to test if the drug has a real effect in a clinical trial) after 6 weeks treatment and olanzapine after 12 weeks treatment in participants with schizophrenia (psychiatric disorder with symptoms of emotional instability, detachment from reality, often with delusions and hallucinations, and withdrawal into the self).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change From Baseline in Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) Total Score at Week 6

    The PANSS is a 30-item scale to assess the neuropsychiatric symptoms of schizophrenia. The PANSS provides a total score and scores for 3 subscales, the positive subscale (7 items), the negative subscale (7 items), and the general psychopathology subscale (16 items), each item scored on a scale of 1 (absent) to 7 (extreme). The total score ranges from 30 to 210 and higher score indicates greater severity.

    Baseline and Week 6

Secondary Outcomes (11)

  • Change From Baseline in Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) Subscale Scores at Week 6 and 12

    Baseline, Week 6 and 12

  • Change From Baseline in Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) Marder Subscale Scores at Week 6 and 12

    Baseline, Week 6 and 12

  • Change From Baseline in Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) Score at Week 6 and 12

    Baseline, Week 6 and 12

  • Change From Baseline in Subjective Well-Being on Neuroleptics (SWN) Total Score at Week 6 and 12

    Baseline, Week 6 and 12

  • Change From Baseline in Nurses' Observation Scale for Inpatient Evaluation (NOSIE) Total Score at Week 2

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 65 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Participants must have been diagnosed with schizophrenia according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition (DSM-IV) (295.10, 295.20, 295.30, 295.60, 295.90) at least 1 year prior to screening
  • Participants must be experiencing an acute (a quick and severe form of illness in its early stage) exacerbation of less than 6 months duration, with a Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score at screening between 70 and 120 inclusive and at baseline of between 60 and 120 inclusive
  • Women of child bearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test at screening and baseline before receiving the study drug
  • Participants must agree to voluntary hospitalization for a minimum of 14 days

You may not qualify if:

  • A DSM-IV diagnosis of substance dependence within 6 months prior to screening evaluation
  • Any clinically relevant medical condition that could potentially alter the absorption (the way a drug or other substance enters the body), metabolism, or excretion (the way that substances leave the body) of the study medication, such as Crohn's disease (serious inflammation of any part of the gastrointestinal tract), liver disease, or renal (pertaining to the kidneys) disease
  • Relevant history of any significant and/or unstable cardiovascular (pertaining to the heart and blood vessels), respiratory, neurological (including seizures) or significant cerebrovascular (pertaining to brain and blood vessels), renal, hepatic, endocrine (pertaining to the glands that make hormones), or immunologic diseases
  • History of neuroleptic malignant syndrome (high fever, rigid muscles, shaking, confusion, sweating more than usual, increased heart rate or blood pressure, or muscle pain or weakness)
