Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long term safety of flexible doses (50 to 150 mg equivalent) of paliperidone palmitate in the treatment of patients with schizophrenia and to document the pharmacokinetics of paliperidone following fixed multiple intramuscular injections of paliperidone palmitate 150 mg eq.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
The number of patients experiencing treatment emergent adverse events
Screening (Day -21 to -1) to Day 372 (or at the time of early termination from the study)
Concentration of paliperidone in plasma from blood samples obtained from patients
Day 1 to Day 372
Secondary Outcomes (4)
Changes in Sleep Visual Analog Scale (Sleep VAS) scores as an indicator of quality of sleep and daytime drowsiness
Day 1 to Day 372.
Changes in Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) scores
Day 1 to Day 372.
Change in Clinical Global Impression Severity of Illness (CGI-S) Scores as an indicator of overall clinical condition
Day 1 to Day 372.
Changes in Personal and Social Performance Scale (PSP) Scores (measures personal and social performance in patients with acute symptoms of schizophrenia. Higher PSP scores indicate better personal and social functioning)
Day 1 to Day 372.
Study Arms (2)
001
EXPERIMENTALPaliperidone palmitate Treatment A All patients will receive a single IM injection of 150mg eq of study drug on Day 1. Patients who tolerate 150mg eq will receive a 2nd IM injection of 150mg eq on Day 8 followed by 12 IM injections (1 every 4 weeks) of 150mg eq. All other patients will be assigned to Treatment B.
002
EXPERIMENTALPaliperidone palmitate Treatment B Patients not tolerating Treatment A will receive a single IM injection of study drug 100mg eq at their next scheduled visit followed by injections (1 every 4 weeks) ranging from 50 to 150mg eq patients who do not wish to have multiple blood samples collected will also be assigned to Treatment B
Interventions
All patients will receive a single IM injection of 150mg eq of study drug on Day 1. Patients who tolerate 150mg eq will receive a 2nd IM injection of 150mg eq on Day 8 followed by 12 IM injections (1 every 4 weeks) of 150mg eq. All other patients will be assigned to Treatment B.
Patients not tolerating Treatment A will receive a single IM injection of study drug 100mg eq at their next scheduled visit followed by injections (1 every 4 weeks) ranging from 50 to 150mg eq
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Meet the diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV) for at least 1 year before screening
- Have a body mass index (BMI) of \>=17.0 kg/m2 at screening
- Have a Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score of \<=70
You may not qualify if:

- Have a PANSS score of \>16 points on the sum of the following 4 items at screening and baseline: conceptual disorganization, suspiciousness/persecution, hallucinatory behavior, and unusual thought content
- Have scores greater than 5 on any of the individual items of the PANSS at screening or baseline
- Have attempted suicide within 12 months before screening or are at imminent risk of suicide or violent behavior as clinically assessed by the investigator
