MeasureTime frameDescription
Mean Change From Baseline in the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) Total Score at Week 4Week 4 (Day 28)The PANSS is a 30-item rating scale that evaluates positive, negative, and other symptoms in patients with schizophrenia. The Positive subscale is a 7-item scale that assesses features in schizophrenia that are not present in a normal mental state. The Negative subscale is a 7-item scale that assesses features absent in schizophrenia but present in those with a normal mental state. Items are rated on a 7-point scale, where 1 = absent and 7 = extreme, for a maximum score of 49 for each scale. The General subscale is a 16-item scale that assesses the overall severity of schizophrenia and the risk of aggression. Items are rated on the same scale, with a minimum score of 16 and a maximum score of 112. Total scores are calculated by adding subscale scores together, for a minimum score of 30 and a maximum score of 210. Higher scores indicate higher severity.

Participants Ready for Discharge From First Randomized Treatment Intake to Readiness for Discharge as Assessed by the Readiness for Discharge Questionnaire (RDQ) at 4-Week Treatmentafter 4-week treatmentThe RDQ is a tool used to assess inpatients with schizophrenia on their readiness for discharge from inpatient treatment. It consists of five items that assess suicidality/homicidality, control of aggression/impulsivity, activities of daily living, medication-taking, and delusions/hallucinations interfering with functioning and global status. An additional item examines the overall clinical state of the patient and the final question assesses readiness for discharge. The values reported are the proportion (expressed as a percentage) of participants in each analysis group considered ready for discharge according to the RDQ.

The PANSS is a 30-item rating scale that evaluates positive, negative, and other symptoms in patients with schizophrenia. The Positive subscale is a 7-item scale that assesses features in schizophrenia that are not present in a normal mental state. The Negative subscale is a 7-item scale that assesses features absent in schizophrenia but present in those with a normal mental state. Items are rated on a 7-point scale, where 1 = absent and 7 = extreme, for a maximum score of 49 for each scale. The General subscale is a 16-item scale that assesses the overall severity of schizophrenia and the risk of aggression. Items are rated on the same scale, with a minimum score of 16 and a maximum score of 112. Total scores are calculated by adding subscale scores together, for a minimum score of 30 and a maximum score of 210. Higher scores indicate higher severity.

Time frame: Week 4 (Day 28)

Population: The efficacy analysis population (EAP) included all randomized participants who received at least one dose of study medication and who had primary efficacy assessments at baseline and on at least one occasion post-baseline.

The positive symptom factor contains 8 items (score range 8-56); the negative symptom and disorganized thought/cognition factors contain 7 items (score range 7-49); the uncontrolled hostility/excitement, expressive deficit, and anxiety/depression factors contain 4 items (score range 4-28); and the avolition domain contains 3 items (score range 3-21). The negative and positive totals each have a range of 7-49 and the general total has a range of 16-112. Higher scores indicate higher symptom severity.

PANSS Total Score at Week 12

The PANSS is a 30-item rating scale that evaluates positive, negative, and other symptoms in patients with schizophrenia. The Positive subscale is a 7-item scale that assesses features in schizophrenia that are not present in a normal mental state. The Negative subscale is a 7-item scale that assesses features absent in schizophrenia but present in those with a normal mental state. Items are rated on a 7-point scale, where 1 = absent and 7 = extreme, for a maximum score of 49 for each scale. The General subscale is a 16-item scale that assesses the overall severity of schizophrenia and the risk of aggression. Items are rated on the same scale, with a minimum score of 16 and a maximum score of 112. Total scores are calculated by adding subscale scores together, for a minimum score of 30 and a maximum score of 210. Higher scores indicate higher severity.

Time frame: Week 12

Participants Ready for Discharge From First Randomized Treatment Intake to Readiness for Discharge as Assessed by the Readiness for Discharge Questionnaire (RDQ) at 4-Week Treatment

The RDQ is a tool used to assess inpatients with schizophrenia on their readiness for discharge from inpatient treatment. It consists of five items that assess suicidality/homicidality, control of aggression/impulsivity, activities of daily living, medication-taking, and delusions/hallucinations interfering with functioning and global status. An additional item examines the overall clinical state of the patient and the final question assesses readiness for discharge. The values reported are the proportion (expressed as a percentage) of participants in each analysis group considered ready for discharge according to the RDQ.

Time frame: after 4-week treatment

Population: The efficacy analysis population (EAP) included all randomized participants who received at least one dose of study medication and who had primary efficacy assessments at baseline and on at least one occasion post-baseline.
