| Main Objective: The primary objective of this pilot study is to assess the clinical and biological safety of S 33138 after 8 weeks of oral administration in schizophrenic patients with predominant positive symptoms.;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives are: - to assess the efficacy of S 33138, - to get an evaluation of patient’s subjective well-being, - to assess the pharmacokinetics of S 33138 and S 35424. ;Primary end point(s): The safety criteria are: - Adverse events, - Simpson-Angus scale total score, - Barnes Akathisia scale, - UKU side effect rating scale , - ECG parameters issued from the central reading of ECG tracings, - ECG abnormalities issued from the central reading of ECG tracings, - Supine Blood pressure [SBP (mmHg) and DBP (mmHg)] and Heart rate (bpm), - Body temperature (°C) and Body weight (kg), - Laboratory parameters. The efficacy criteria are: - Positive And Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score, - PANSS positive subscale score, - PANSS negative subscale score, - PANSS-derived Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) score, - Clinical Global Impression (CGI) Severity of Illness score, CGI Global Improvement score, CGI Efficacy Index, - Response to treatment defined as a decrease from baseline > or = 20% of the PANSS total score and a CGI Global Improvement equal to 1 (very much improved) or 2 (much improved), - Response to treatment defined as a decrease from baseline > or = 30% of the PANSS positive subscale score and a CGI Global Improvement equal to 1 (very much improved) or 2 (much improved). | — |
