Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Time to exacerbation of symptoms

    As measured by the time to first exacerbation of psychiatric symptoms

    Up to 52 weeks post-randomization

Study Arms (2)

iloperidone

EXPERIMENTAL

During the 12-week stabilization phase, all patients will receive open-label iloperidone administered as oral tablets (weeks 1-6) and as long-acting intramuscular injections (weeks 7-12). Subsequently, patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to one of two arms: iloperidone long-acting injection or matching placebo. Post-randomization this arm will receive double-blind study drug (iloperidone long-acting injection) as long-acting intramuscular injections for up to 52 weeks.

Drug: iloperidone
