Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Participants With Independent Adjudication Committee (IAC) Adjudicated Event of Exacerbation of Disease (EEDS)
Up to 15 months

EEDS was defined as any of the following occurring during the double-blind period \& was related to worsening of disease symptoms, as confirmed by the Independent Adjudication Committee (IAC): 1. Hospitalization (includes psychiatric\& treatment of alcohol intoxication/withdrawal) 2. \>= 25% or \>= 15 point increase from randomization in PANSS total score 3. PANSS items score of P1, P2, P3, P6, P7 or G8 that meets 1 of the following: 3a. Score \>= 5 for subjects at a 2nd ad hoc visit with a score \<=3 at randomization 3b. Score \>= 6 for subjects at a 2nd ad hoc visit with a score =4 at randomization 4. Engagement in self injury, aggressive behavior, or suicidal/homicidal ideation 5. Initiation of rescue medication, including increase in olanzapine dosage initially prescribed at randomization 6. ER visit 7. Subject withdraws or PI discontinues subject for lack of efficacy, lost to follow-up, or withdrawal by subject 8. Arrest or incarceration related to subject's underlying disease

Absolute Change in Total Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) Score
Baseline (Day 8) to Day 92 (end of study Part A)

Change from baseline (Day 8) to Day 92 (end of study Part A). The PANSS is a 30-item scale measuring severity of schizophrenia symptoms. Symptom severity for each item is rated on a 7-point scale (1 = absent; 7 = extreme), and the total score is added together, with a minimum score of 30 and a maximum score of 210. A higher score indicates more severe symptoms, while a lower score indicates less severe symptoms.

Secondary Endpoints
