  • Clinically stable, mild or moderate schizophrenia
  • On stable antipsychotic treatment for the last 6 months
  • Generally healthy in the investigator's opinion, based on assessment of medical history, physical examination, vital signs, electrocardiogram (ECG), and the results of the hematology, clinical chemistry, urinalysis, serology, and other laboratory tests
  • Willingness to be hospitalized for approximately 3 weeks
  • BMI > 18.5 kg/m2 and < 38 kg/m2
  • Use of highly effective contraception as defined by the study protocol. Men must also not donate sperm until at least 30 days after the last dose, and women cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding

  • Current drug abuse (excluding nicotine) or drug abuse within 3 months prior to the screening visit
  • Any donation of blood or significant blood loss within three months prior to first administration of the study drug

Treatment and study plan

Placebo

Other

Oral daily administration from Days 1-12

RO5545965

Drug

Oral daily administration from Days 1-12

Risperidone

Drug

13 day run-in phase until 4 mg daily dose level is reached. 4 mg daily oral dose until Day 17 of study, for a total of 30 days. Dose may be increased up to 6 mg at the investigator's discretion. After study treatment, risperidone dosage may be decreased, increased or omitted at the investigator's discretion during a wash-out phase while patients return to their chronic antipsychotic treatment. Patient response during wash-out will be monitored in-house for 48 hours after the last dose of RO5545965 or placebo is administered. This in-house observation may be extended as needed by the investigator.

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of adverse events

    Time frame: Up to 10 weeks

  2. Health of the patients, assessed through a complete medical examination including physical examination, electrocardiogram (ECG) and vital signs.

    Time frame: Up to 10 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Pharmacokinetics: Plasma area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of RO5545965

    Time frame: 17 days

  2. Pharmacokinetics: Plasma area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of risperidone

    Time frame: 15 days
