| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Number of participants with adverse events up to Week 9 | Up to Week 9 |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Number of participants with adverse events up to Week 25 | Up to Week 25 | — |
| Change from baseline in Clinical Global impression-Severity (CGI-S) scale scores | Baseline (Day 1), Week 5, Week 9, Week 13, Week 17, Week 21, and Week 25 | The CGI-S rating scale is a 7 point global assessment that measures the clinician's impression of the severity of illness exhibited by a participant. A rating of 1 is equivalent to Normal, not at all ill and a rating of 7 is equivalent to Among the most extremely ill participants. Higher scores indicate worsening. |
| Change from baseline in Personal and Social Performance (PSP) scale scores | Baseline (Day 1), Week 5, Week 9, Week 13, Week 17, Week 21, and Week 25 | This PSP assesses the degree of a participants dysfunction within 4 domains of behavior: socially useful activities, personal and social relationships, self-care, and disturbing and aggressive behavior. The score ranges from 1 to 100, divided into 10 equal intervals to rate the degree of difficulty (i, absent to vi, very severe) in each of the 4 domains. Based on the four domains there will be one total score. Participants with a score of 71 to 100 have a mild degree of difficulty; from 31 to 70, varying degrees of disability; =\< 30, functioning so poorly as to require intensive supervision. |
