ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryPercentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)From Baseline up to 52 Weeks
A treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) is defined as an AE that started after start of investigational medicinal product (IMP) treatment; or if the event was continuous from baseline and was serious, IMP-related, or resulted in death, discontinuation, interruption or reduction of IMP.
SecondaryMean Change From Baseline in Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale Total ScoreFrom Baseline up to 52 Weeks
The PANSS consisted of 3 subscales with 30 symptom constructs (positive subscale (7): delusions, conceptual disorganization, hallucinatory behavior, excitement, grandiosity, suspiciousness/perseckion, and hostility; negative subscale (7): blunted affect, emotional withdrawal, poor rapport, passive/apathetic social withdrawal, difficulty in abstract thinking, lack of spontaneity and conversation flow, stereotyped thinking and general psychopathology subscale (16): somatic concern, anxiety, guilt feelings, tension, mannerisms and posturing, depression, motor retardation, uncooperativeness, unusual thought content, disorientation, poor attention, lack of judgment and insight, disturbance of volition, poor impulse control, preoccupation, and active social avoidance). Severity was rated on 7-point scale with scores 1 (absence) \& 7 (extremely severe). The PANSS total score was sum of rating scores for 7 positive, 7 negative, and 16 general psychopathology subscale items of PANSS panel.
SecondaryMean Change From Baseline in PANSS Positive Subscale ScoreFrom Baseline up to 52 Weeks
The PANSS consisted of three subscales that contained a total of 30 symptom constructs. For each symptom construct, severity is rated on a 7-point scale, with a score of 1 indicated the absence of symptoms and a score of 7 indicated extremely severe symptoms. In positive subscale, the 7 positive symptom constructs were: delusions, conceptual disorganization, hallucinatory behavior, excitement, grandiosity, suspiciousness/persecution, and hostility.
SecondaryMean Change From Baseline in PANSS Negative Subscale ScoreFrom Baseline up to 52 Weeks
The PANSS consisted of three subscales that contained a total of 30 symptom constructs. For each symptom construct, severity was rated on a 7-point scale, with a score of 1 indicated the absence of symptoms and a score of 7 indicated extremely severe symptoms. In negative subscale the severity was rated for the following 7 negative symptom constructs: blunted affect, emotional withdrawal, poor rapport, passive/apathetic social withdrawal, difficulty in abstract thinking, lack of spontaneity and flow of conversation, stereotyped thinking.
SecondaryMean Change From Baseline in Clinical Global Impression - Severity of Illness Scale ScoreFrom Baseline up to 52 Weeks
The severity of illness for each participant was rated using the CGI-S. To perform this assessment, the investigator were to answer the following question: "Considering your total clinical experience with this particular population, how mentally ill was the participant at that time?" Response choices include: 0 = not assessed; 1 = normal, not at all ill; 2 = borderline mentally ill; 3 = mildly ill; 4 = moderately ill; 5 = markedly ill; 6 = severely ill; and 7 = among the most extremely ill participants.
SecondaryMean Change From Baseline in Personal and Social Performance Scale Total ScoreFrom Baseline up to 52 Weeks
The PSP was a validated clinician-rated scale that measured personal and social functioning in four domains: socially useful activities (e.g, work and study), personal and social relationships, self-care, and disturbing and aggressive behaviors. Impairment in each of these domains was rated as absent, mild, manifest, marked, severe, or very severe. These ratings were then converted to a total score based on a 100-point scale using algorithms to identify the appropriate 10-point interval, and the rater's judgment that determined the total score within the 10-point interval. Participants with a PSP total score of 71 to 100 were considered to have mild functional difficulty. Scores of 31 to 70 represented manifest disabilities of various degrees and ratings of 1 to 30 indicated minimal functioning that required intense support and/or supervision.
SecondaryMean Clinical Global Impression - Improvement ScoreFrom Baseline up to 52 Weeks
The efficacy of study medication was rated for each participant using the CGI-I. The investigator rated the participant's total improvement whether or not it was due to the drug treatment. All responses were compared to the participant's condition at Screening/Baseline (i.e, Week 6 visit of Protocol NCT00905307). Response choices included: 0 = not assessed, 1 = very much improved, 2 = much improved, 3 = minimally improved, 4 = no change, 5 = minimally worse, 6 = much worse, and 7 = very much worse.
SecondaryResponse RateFrom Baseline up to 52 WeeksResponse rate was defined as a reduction of ≥ 30% from Baseline in PANSS total score or CGI-I score of 1 (very much improved) or 2 (much improved) at the Last Visit.
SecondaryDiscontinuation Rate for Lack of EfficacyFrom Baseline up to 52 WeeksDiscontinuation rate for the participants who discontinued due to lack of efficacy were examined.
SecondaryMean Change From Baseline in Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale Excited Component ScoreFrom Baseline up to 52 Weeks
The PEC score consisted of five PANSS items: excitement (P4), hostility (P7), tension (G4), uncooperativeness (G8), and poor impulse control (G14). Each of the items were rated on a scale of 1 (absent) to 7 (extreme). The PEC scores ranged from 5 (not present) to 35 (extremely severe).
