Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Absolute change from baseline in the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale - Excited Component (PEC) total score
120 minutes - Group one only

The Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale - Excited Component (PEC) comprises 5 items associated with agitation: poor impulse control, tension, hostility, uncooperativeness, and excitement; each scored 1 (minimum) to 7 (maximum). The PEC, the sum of these 5 subscales, thus ranges from 5 (absence of agitation) to 35 (extremely severe)

Secondary Endpoints

Absolute change from baseline in the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale - Excited Component (PEC) total score
90, 60, 45, 30, 20,10 minutes - Group one only
