Schizophrenia
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to offer open label ITI-007 treatment to patients who poorly respond or poorly tolerate approved medications.
Detailed description
Patients will be started on ITI-007 and current medication will be slowly discontinued within the first 7 days of starting ITI-007, with some flexibility allowed if clinically indicated. No patients will be left unmedicated because of this study. Patients will be seen weekly for the first 4 weeks, biweekly for the second month and then monthly for six months. Patients will be monitored by clinical and safety rating scales, and will be required to show improvement after 3 months to remain in this study. Patients not improving at this time will be assessed for the risks/benefits of continuing.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Schizophrenia Symptoms | Change from baseline in Total PANSS score after 6 month treatment | schizophrenia symptoms will be measures using the Positive and Negative Symptom Scale (PANSS) Total PANSS score (range: 30-210). Individual items scored from 1(absent) to 7 (extremely severe). Total PANSS score is sum of the 30 individual items with lowest score (30) indicating all symptoms absent and the maximum score (210) indicating all symptoms rated as extremely severe. |

Outcome results
Schizophrenia Symptoms
schizophrenia symptoms will be measures using the Positive and Negative Symptom Scale (PANSS) Total PANSS score (range: 30-210). Individual items scored from 1(absent) to 7 (extremely severe). Total PANSS score is sum of the 30 individual items with lowest score (30) indicating all symptoms absent and the maximum score (210) indicating all symptoms rated as extremely severe.
Time frame: Change from baseline in Total PANSS score after 6 month treatment
Population: Completed participants (6 months of treatment). Outcome measure reported as change in PANSS score from baseline to end of treatment
| Arm | Measure | Value (NUMBER) |
|---|---|---|
| ITI-007 | Schizophrenia Symptoms | 11 change in PANSS score from baseline |
