Primary outcomes

  1. The Change From Baseline at Day 85 in Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) Total Score

    Time frame: Data collected from baseline to day 85

    The PANSS scale contains 30 questions, each containing an answer range of 1-7. A total PANSS score can range from between 30 to 210; a higher score indicates a worse disease condition.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Clinical Global Impression - Improvement (CGI-I) Scores at Day 85

    Time frame: 85 Days

    The CGI-I is a 7-point scale that requires the clinician to assess how much the participant's illness has improved or worsened relative to a baseline state at the beginning of the study. Results indicate participants evaluated at one of the following categories: "1: very much improved"; "2: much improved"; "3: minimally improved"; "4: no change"; "5: minimally worse"; "6: much worse"; or "7: very much worse".
