Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Safety and tolerability of EVP-6308 in subjects with schizophrenia currently receiving stable treatment with up to 2 atypical antipsychotics | Baseline to Day 21 or Early Termination | Vital signs measurements, Clinical laboratory tests, Physical examination, ECG findings, Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale. Adverse events and concomitant medications will be collected from the time of signing the informed consent. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pharmacokinetics of EVP-6308 in subjects with schizophrenia and the potential for EVP-6308 to affect the pharmacokinetic properties of the antipsychotic regimen | Day -1 through Day 16 | PK parameters to be determined for EVP-6308 and EVP-6308 N-oxide metabolite include Cmax, Tmax,, AUC, and t1/2. PK parameters to be determined for the antipsychotic include Cmax, Tmax, AUC, and CL/F. |
| Potential pharmacodynamics effects of EVP-6308 | Baseline to Day 21 or Early Termination | Quantitative EEG, Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale, Clinician Global Impression - Severity, Barnes Akathisia Rating Scale, Simpson-Angus Scale, Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale, Cognitive Battery. |
