Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

To assess the safety and tolerability of long-term ML-007C-MA administration in adult participants with schizophrenia
From initial dose through end of treatment (up to 52 weeks)

using the incidence of TEAEs, TE-SAEs, and TEAEs leading to study discontinuation.

To assess the safety and tolerability of long-term ML-007C-MA administration in participants with hallucinations and delusions associated with AD
From initial dose through end of treatment (up to 52 weeks)

using the incidence of TEAEs, TE-SAEs, and TEAEs leading to study discontinuation.

Change from Baseline to End of Treatment in the Neuropsychiatric Inventory-Clinician: Hallucinations and Delusions (NPI-C H+D) score
Baseline and End of Treatment (7 weeks)

NPI-C H+D scale includes 2 domains from the NPI-C scale, namely, hallucinations and delusions. These 2 domains include the following number of items to be rated by the clinician: Hallucinations, 7 items (maximum score = 21) and Delusions, 8 items (maximum score = 24). The maximum score for the NPI-C: H+D scale is 45. Higher scores on this scale indicate worse outcomes.

Change From Baseline to End of Treatment in Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) Total Score
Baseline and End of Treatment (5 weeks)

The PANSS is a medical scale used for measuring symptom severity of participants with schizophrenia. The PANSS rating form contains 7 positive symptom scales, 7 negative system scales, and 16 general psychopathology symptom scales. Participants are rated from 1 to 7 on each symptom scale. The total score is the sum of all scales with a minimum score of 30 and a maximum score of 210. A decrease in PANSS total score correlates with an improvement in schizophrenia symptoms.

Secondary Endpoints

Change from Baseline to End of Treatment in the Clinical Global Impressions-Severity (CGI-S) hallucinations and delusions domain-specific score
Baseline and End of Treatment (7 weeks)
Change from Baseline to End of Treatment in the Neuropsychiatric Inventory - Clinician Agitation and Aggression (NPI-C A+A) score in participants who have a CGI-S agitation/aggression domain-specific score of ≥4 at Baseline
Baseline and End of Treatment (7 weeks)
Change From Baseline to End of Treatment in CGI-S score
