Patient is stable in terms of negative symptoms of schizophrenia over the last 3 months according to his or her treating psychiatrist 6. Patient with PANSS negative subscore of at least 20. 7. Patient with PANSS item score of =65 years) no F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Current bipolar disorder, panic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, or evidence of mental retardation. 2. Patient’s condition is due to direct physiological effects of a substance (e.g., a drug of abuse, a medication) or a general medical condition. 3. Significant risk of suicide or attempted suicide, or of danger to self or others. 4. Patient has a history of substance abuse within 3 months of the Screening visit (excluding caffeine and cigarette smoking). 5. Positive urine drug screen except when related to prescribed benzodiazepines and opiates recently prescribed for an episode of acute pain (e.g., dental extraction). 6. Patient who cannot be discontinued from psychotropics other than those allowed. 7. Patient who received clozapine within 6 months of the Screening visit. 8. Patient receiving treatment with depot antipsychotic medication can be enrolled in the study 4 weeks after the last injection. 9. Patient with a history of significant other major or unstable neurological, neurosurgical (e.g., head trauma), metabolic, hepatic, renal, hematological, pulmonary, cardiovascular, metabolic, gastrointestinal, or urological disorder. 10. Patient with a history of epilepsy seizure disorder (patient with a history of childhood febrile seizure may be enrolled in this study). 11. Patient who has had electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), vagal nerve stimulation (VNS), or repetitive trans-cranial magnetic stimulation (r-TMS) within the 3 months prior to the Screening visit or who are scheduled for ECT, VNS, or r-TMS at any time during the study. 12. Patient with clinically significant abnormalities in hematology, blood chemistry, ECG, or physical examination not resolved by the Baseline visit. 13. Body Mass Index (BMI) > 35. 14.

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of MIN-101 compared to placebo in improving the negative symptoms of schizophrenia as measured by the change from Baseline in the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) negative subscale score of the pentagonal model over 12 weeks of treatment.;Secondary Objective: - To evaluate the efficacy of MIN-101 compared to placebo in improving other symptoms of schizophrenia as measured by the change from Baseline in the PANSS total score, positive symptoms score, dysphoric mood, activation, and autistic preoccupation subscores of the pentagonal model over 12 weeks of double-blind treatment. -To evaluate the efficacy of MIN-101 compared to placebo in improving symptoms of schizophrenia as measured by the change from Baseline in the PANSS total score and subscores according to the 3 factors analysis over 12 weeks of double-blind treatment. - To evaluate the efficacy of MIN-101 compared to placebo in improving negative symptoms of schizophrenia as measured by the change from Baseline in the Brief Negative Symptoms Scale (BNSS) total score over 12 weeks of double-blind treatment. - To assess the effects of MIN-101 compared to placebo on the CGI-S and CGI-I over 12 weeks of double-blind treatment.
