Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Change from Baseline to Week 12 in Marder Negative Symptoms Factor Score (NSFS)
Phase A: Screening, Baseline, Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12

The Marder Negative Symptoms Factor Score (NSFS) derived from the complete Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) has been the most frequently used scale in schizophrenia clinical studies focusing on negative symptoms. The PANSS measures comprehensive psychiatric symptoms, including positive, negative, and general symptoms. The full PANSS rates the patient on 30 different symptoms from 1 (absent) to 7 (extreme) based on an interview as well as reports of family members or primary care hospital workers. Negative symptoms will be defined by PANSS negative subscore (N1+N2+N3+N4+N5+N6+N7). Higher scores indicate more severe symptoms.

Change From Baseline to Week 12 in PANSS Marder Negative Symptoms Factor Score (NSFS)
Baseline, Week 2, Week 4, Week 8, and Week 12

The Marder negative symptoms factor score (NSFS) derived from the complete Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) has been the most frequently used scale in schizophrenia clinical studies focusing on negative symptoms The PANSS measures comprehensive psychiatric symptoms, including positive, negative, and general symptoms. The full PANSS rates the patient on 30 different symptoms from 1 (absent) to 7 (extreme) based on an interview as well as reports of family members or primary care hospital workers. The NSFS consists of the sum of the negative symptom PANSS items N1, N2, N3, N4, N6, G7, and G16 (minimum score = 7; maximum score = 49). Higher scores indicate more severe symptoms.

Extrapyramidal Symptoms Assessed by Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS) - Change From Baseline in AIMS Component Movement
Overall - Change from Baseline to End of Study (Day 17)

AIMS is a rating scale to measure tardive dyskinesia (TD). For the scoring, the AIMS scale has 14 items. The first 10 items (under categories of Facial and Oral Movements, Extremity Movements, Trunk Movements, and Global Judgements) are rated from 0 (none) to 4 (severe); the remaining 4 items (Dental Status) are rated "yes" and "no" and not counted. The analysis is limited to items 1 to 10, with each rated from 0 to 4. The total score is the sum of all 10 items and with values ranging from 0 to 40. Overall change from baseline to End of Study (Day 17) in AIMS was reported for the Safety Set. Higher scores imply worse outcome.

Barnes Akathisia Rating Scale (BARS)
Overall - Change from Baseline to End of Study (Day 17)

BARS is a multiple-choice questionnaire that clinicians may use to provide an assessment of akathisia. The clinician or rater is instructed to observe the subject while standing and while sitting, at least 2 minutes each (total of at least 4 minutes in total). There are 4 areas where the subject is to be evaluated, 1 of these is objective, 2 are subjective, and the final is a global assessment. The BARS scale has 3 items that are rated from 0 (absence/no distress) to 3 (most severe). The BARS rating scale is scored by summing the scales for Objective Akathisia, Subjective Awareness of Restlessness and Subjective Distress Related to Restlessness yielding a total score ranging from 0 to 9. The Total score, which has a possible range from 0-9, is reported. Higher scores imply worse outcome.

Number of Subjects Who Experienced Suicidal Ideation or Behavior Events Per the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)
Overall - End of Study (Day 17)

C-SSRS is a measure to identify and assess individuals at risk for suicide. Questions are phrased for an interview format but can be completed as a self-report measure if needed. It measures 4 constructs: severity of ideation, intensity of ideation, behavior, and lethality. It includes "stem questions," which if endorsed, prompt additional follow-up questions to obtain more information. For the composite endpoint of suicidal ideation or behavior (1-10), the number and percent of subjects in the Overall Safety Set who experience any one of the ten suicidal ideation or behavior events at End of Study (Day 17).
