Alanine aminotransferase less than or equal to 2.5 X upper limit of normal b. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) less than or equal to 2.5 X ULN c. Bilirubin less than 1.5 mg per dL d. Alkaline phosphatase less than or equal to 2.5 X ULN 8. Subjects with creatinine clearance greater than or equal to 80 mL per minute (using the Cockcroft-Gault Equation). 9. Female subjects with negative serum pregnancy test at screening and negative urine pregnancy test before randomization. 10. Female subjects of childbearing potential (defined as women physiologically capable of becoming pregnant, unless they are using effective method of contraception during study participation) practicing two acceptable methods of contraception during the study. Acceptable methods of contraception are: a. Oral, parenteral, patch, or implant hormonal contraception b. Intrauterine device or intrauterine system c. Double barrier method of contraception (condom and occlusive cap or condom and spermicidal agent) d. Male sterilization (at least 6 months prior to screening, should be the sole male partner for that subject) e. Female sterilization (surgical bilateral oophorectomy) or tubal ligation at least 6 weeks prior to study participation f.

Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Hypersensitivity to paliperidone palmitate or risperidone or to any of the excipients. 2. Subjects with history of or a current DSM-5-TR diagnosis of concurrent mental disorder besides schizophrenia (eg. schizoaffective-disorder, major depressive disorder, bipolar I disorder, bipolar II disorder, general anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, dementia or mild neurocognitive disorder, and personality disorder). 3. Subjects with history of or have current thoughts of suicide (suicidal ideation) or violent tendencies at the time of screening as per the Investigators discretion. 4. Subjects with history or presence of neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) or tardive dyskinesia. 5. Subjects with history or presence of Parkinsons disease or epilepsy or seizures. 6. Subjects who are in an acutely agitated or severely psychotic state. 7. Elderly subjects with dementia-related psychosis treated with antipsychotic drugs. 8.

Subjects with history of arrhythmia, venous thromboembolism, Intraoperative floppy iris syndrome. 10. Presence of orthostatic hypotension (ie. a drop in systolic blood pressure of 20 mmHg or more and/or a drop in diastolic blood pressure of 10 mmHg or more) within 3 minutes of standing from supine or history of syncope at screening. 11. Subjects with positive urine alcohol test. 12. Subjects with positive urine screen for drugs of abuse (including benzodiazepine, amphetamine, barbiturates, cannabinoid, cocaine, and morphine, except for benzodiazepine, which is a permissible medication if supported by prescription) 13. History or presence of any uncontrolled systemic disease (eg. cardiovascular disease, hypertension (systolic BP greater than or equal to 150 mmHg per diastolic BP greater than or equal to 100 mmHg), diabetes mellitus, (HbA1c greater than or equal to 9 percent at the time of screening), etc. 14. Smokers 15. Subjects with positive serology for Hepatitis B surface antigen and hepatitis B core antibody, Hepatitis C Virus or Human Immunodeficiency Virus. 16. Any other medical condition or serious intercurrent illness that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may make it undesirable for the subject to participate in the study that would limit adherence to study requirements. 17. Participation in any clinical study within 90 days before the first Investigational Product administration. 18. Loss of greater than or equal to 350 mL (1 unit) of blood within 90 days prior to first dose of Investigational Product. 19. Lactating women.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To achieve bioequivalence between both test and reference product by both primary and secondary PK endpoints. The primary PK endpoint is to demonstrate bioequivalence for the following steady state PK parameters: Maximum plasma concentration at steady state. AUC during a dosage interval at steady state. Concentration at the end of the dosing interval at steady state. Timepoint: Day 85,113,141(Pre Dose 00.00hrs),Day141,142,143,144,145,148, 151,154,157,160,163,166,169(Post Dose 06.00hrs,24.00hrs,48.00hrs,72.00hrs, 96.00hrs ,168.00hrs,240.00hrs,312.00hrs,384.00hrs,456.00hrs,528.00 hrs,600.00 hrs,672.00hrs) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Average concentration during a dosing interval (Cavg,ss) Time until Cmax,ss is reached (Tmax,ss). Swing in steady state pharmacokinetics (Swing). Degree of fluctuation in the steady state pharmacokinetics (% Fluctuation). Minimum plasma concentration at steady state (Cmin,ss). Safety endpoint: To summarize safety data using descriptive statistics, of frequency/severity of, Adverse Events (AEs), of test product in comparison with the reference product.Timepoint: NA | — |
