Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryPercentage of Participants Without Relapse at Week 48 During the Double-Blind PhaseUp to 48 weeks
Relapse defined as: Psychiatric hospitalization;participant had an increase of 25 percent in total PANSS score from randomization for 2 consecutive assessments separated by 3-7 days if score at randomization was greater than (\>) 40; had a 10 point increase in total PANSS score from randomization for 2 consecutive assessments separated by 3-7 days if score at randomization was less than or equal to (\<=) 40; deliberate self-injury or exhibited violent behavior resulting in suicide, clinically significant injury;suicidal or homicidal ideation and aggressive behavior;For PANSS items-had a score of greater than or equal to (\>=) 5 after randomization for 2 consecutive assessments separated by 3-7 days on any of above items if maximum score for these above PANSS items was \<=3 at randomization; had a score of \>=6 after randomization for 2 consecutive assessments separated by 3-7 days on any of above items if maximum score for these above PANSS items was 4 at randomization.
SecondaryChange From Double-Blind (DB) Baseline in Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) Total Score at Week 48DB Baseline (Week 17) and 48 week or DB Endpoint
The neuropsychiatric symptoms of schizophrenia were assessed by means of the 30-item Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS). The PANSS provides a total score (sum of the scores of all 30 items) ranging from 30 to 210, higher scores indicate more severe neuropsychiatric symptoms of schizophrenia. Scores for 3 subscales, that is, for positive subscale (sum of the scores of all 7 items) and negative subscale (sum of the scores of all 7 items) ranges from 7 (absent) to 49 (extreme psychopathology), and for the general psychopathology subscale (sum of the scores of all 16 items) score ranges from 16 (absent) to 112 (extreme psychopathology).
SecondaryChange From DB Baseline in Clinical Global Impression Severity (CGI-S) Scale Score at Week 48DB Baseline (Week 17) and 48 week or DB Endpoint
The Clinical Global Impression Severity (CGI-S) rating scale is a 7 point global assessment that measures the clinician's impression of the severity of illness exhibited by a participant. A rating of 1 is equivalent to "Normal, not at all ill" and a rating of 7 is equivalent to "Among the most extremely ill participants". Higher scores indicate worsening.
SecondaryChange From DB Baseline in Personal and Social Performance (PSP) Total Score at Week 48DB Baseline (Week 17) and 48 week or DB Endpoint
The Personal and Social Performance (PSP) scale assesses degree of a participant's dysfunction within 4 domains of behavior: socially useful activities, personal and social relationships, self-care, and disturbing and aggressive behavior. Score ranges from 1 to 100. Participants with a score of 71 to 100 have mild degree of difficulty; from 31 to 70, varying degrees of disability; less than or equal to 30, functioning so poorly as to require intensive supervision.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants Who Met the Criteria for Symptomatic Remission Based on Andreasen CriteriaWeeks 41 to 65
Symptomatic remission criterion was defined as having a simultaneous score of mild or less on all selected PANSS items (P1, P2, P3, N1, N4, N6, G5, and G9). Symptomatic remission was defined for the last 6 months of the Double-blind Phase as meeting the remission criterion during the 6 months prior to the End of study visit during the Double-blind Phase, with one excursion allowed.
SecondaryChange From Baseline in Positive and Negative Syndrome Subscales Score at Week 48DB Baseline (Week 17) and 48 week or DB Endpoint
The neuropsychiatric symptoms of schizophrenia were assessed by means of the 30-item Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS). The PANSS provides a total score (sum of the scores of all 30 items) ranging from 30 to 210, higher scores indicate more severe neuropsychiatric symptoms of schizophrenia. Scores for 3 subscales, that is, for positive subscale (sum of the scores of all 7 items) and negative subscale (sum of the scores of all 7 items) ranges from 7 (absent) to 49 (extreme psychopathology), and for the general psychopathology subscale (sum of the scores of all 16 items) score ranges from 16 (absent) to 112 (extreme psychopathology).
SecondaryChange From Baseline in Marder Factor Subscale Score at Week 48DB Baseline (Week 17) and 48 week or DB Endpoint
5 PANSS Marder factor scores (positive symptoms \[range:8 to 56\], negative symptoms \[range: 7 to 49\], disorganized thoughts \[range: 7 to 49\], uncontrolled hostility/excitement \[range: 4 to 28\], and anxiety/depression \[range: 4 to 28\]) were examined to gain insight into the symptoms affected by treatment with the study drug. Negative change from baseline in subscales score for positive symptoms, negative symptoms, disorganized thoughts, uncontrolled hostility/excitement, and anxiety/depression indicates improvement in various symptoms of schizophrenia.
