Antipsychotic-induced Weight Gain
Conditions
Brief summary
This study will investigate if there is any difference in the amount of weight gained by participants taking olanzapine with CORT118335 compared with olanzapine with placebo (a dummy test medicine which looks like CORT118335 but contains no active medicine). Safety and tolerability of CORT118335 when taken with olanzapine will also be evaluated.
Interventions
DRUGOlanzapine
Olanzapine 10 mg oral tablet
DRUGCORT118335
CORT118335 600 mg oral tablets administered as 2 X 300 mg or 6 X 100 mg tablets
DRUGPlacebo
Placebo matching CORT118335, 2 or 6 oral tablets, depending on the CORT118335 tablet strength available
