Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness, safety and tolerability of three different doses of OPC-34712 with placebo in the treatment of acute schizophrenia in adults.

Primary Outcome

The PANSS consists of 3 subscales (positive subscale, negative subscale and general psychology subscale) containing a total of 30 symptom constructs and was administered using the Structured Clinical Interview (SCI)-PANSS. For each symptom construct, severity was rated on a 7-point scale, with a score of 1 indicating the absence of symptoms and a score of 7 indicating extremely severe symptoms. The PANSS total score ranged from 30 (best possible outcome) to 210 (worst possible outcome).
