Registered outcomes4

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

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryPositive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) Over Time
Completed each time subject is seen over 10 weeks (screening, period 1 baseline, period 1 week 1, period 1 week 2, period 1 week 3, period 1 week 4, period 2 baseline, period 2 week 1, period 2 week 2, period 2 week 3, period 2 week 4)
The Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale is a 30-item scale to assess both the positive and negative symptom symptoms of schizophrenia. The range total score is 30-210. An improvement in symptoms is reflected by a lower score.
PrimaryClinical Global Impression of Severity Scale Over Time
Completed each time subject is seen over 10 weeks (screening, period 1 baseline, period 1 week 1, period 1 week 2, period 1 week 3, period 1 week 4, period 2 baseline, period 2 week 1, period 2 week 2, period 2 week 3, period 2 week 4)
Clinical Global Impression of Severity Scale score is a global rating of improvement scale, which requires subjects to rate their degree of improvement on a 7-point scale. The total range score is 1-7. A reduction in scores indicates improvement.
SecondaryPatient Assessment of Own Functioning Inventory (PAOFI) Over Time
Completed each time subject is seen over 10 weeks (screening, period 1 baseline, period 1 week 1, period 1 week 2, period 1 week 3, period 1 week 4, period 2 baseline, period 2 week 1, period 2 week 2, period 2 week 3, period 2 week 4)
The PAOFI measures subjects' perceptions of functioning when performing everyday tasks and activities that reflect cognitive strengths and weaknesses. Subjects rate each item on a scale ranging from 0 (almost never) to 5 (almost always). The total score is the sum of the responses to each item (score of 0 to 160). High scores on the PAOFI subscales are indicative of poor perceived cognitive functioning. This scale was modified to remove 3 items- so the highest possible score is 145 for this outcome measure.
SecondaryQuality of Life Scale (QLS) Over Time
Completed each time subject is seen over 10 weeks (screening, period 1 baseline, period 1 week 1, period 1 week 2, period 1 week 3, period 1 week 4, period 2 baseline, period 2 week 1, period 2 week 2, period 2 week 3, period 2 week 4)
The Quality of Life Scale (QLS) is a 21-item scale rated from a semi structured interview, each item is rated 0-6. The specific descriptors vary among items, but the high end of the scales (scores of 5 and 6) reflects normal or unimpaired functioning, and the low end of the scales (scores of 0 and 1) reflects severe impairment of the function in question. A highest score of 126 would indicate unimpaired functioning.
