Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of flexibly dosed Brexpiprazole monotherapy in the improvement of early-episode schizophrenia through the assessment of social functioning, efficacy, and tolerability. Early-episode schizophrenia is defined as episodes occurring ≤ 5 years after the onset of the first episode.

Primary Outcome

The PANSS consisted of three subscales: a total of 30 symptom constructs. For each symptom construct, severity was rated on a 7-point scale, with a score of 1 (absence of symptoms) and a score of 7 (extremely severe symptoms). The PANSS total score was the sum of the rating scores for 7 positive scale items, 7 negative scale items, and 16 general psychopathology scale items from the PANSS panel. The PANSS total score ranged from 30 (best possible outcome) to 210 (worst possible outcome).
