Outcome Measures
| 1. Primary: | Mean Change From Baseline at 4 Weeks of Treatment in Total Cognitive Score on the Brief Assessment of Cognition in Schizophrenia (BACS) Battery. [ Time Frame: Baseline and 4 weeks of treatment ] |
| Measure Type | Primary |
|---|---|
| Measure Title | Mean Change From Baseline at 4 Weeks of Treatment in Total Cognitive Score on the Brief Assessment of Cognition in Schizophrenia (BACS) Battery. |
| Measure Description | The mean change from baseline after 4 weeks of treatment in total cognitive score on the BACS was calculated as a weighted average of T-scores (normalized for age) from BACS subtests including Verbal Memory, Digit Sequencing, Token Motor, Symbol Coding, Semantic Fluency, Letter Fluency, and Tower of London. The minimum and maximum values possible for this composite T-score of the change from baseline were -131 and 131, respectively. Higher values (positive changes from baseline) indicate better performance. |
| Time Frame | Baseline and 4 weeks of treatment |
| Safety Issue | No |
Population Description
| Explanation of how the number of participants for analysis was determined. Includes whether analysis was per protocol, intention to treat, or another method. Also provides relevant details such as imputation technique, as appropriate. |
|---|
| Full Analysis Set (FAS): The FAS included all randomized patients who took at lease one dose of study medication and had at least one post-randomization efficacy measurement in either of the two treatment periods. The data as observed (DAO) approach was used to handle missing data. |
Reporting Groups
| Description | |
|---|---|
| MK0249 | 10 mg per day of MK-0249 were taken orally for Treatment Period 1 or Treatment Period 2 (depending on the sequence). At any time after 3 days of double-blind treatment if patients who were unable to tolerate 10 mg per day, they were allowed to titrate down to 7 mg per day and remained on 7 mg per day for the remainder of the treatment period. |
| Placebo | 10 mg per day of matching placebo were taken orally for Treatment Period 1 or Treatment Period 2 (depending on the sequence). At any time after 3 days of double-blind treatment if patients who were unable to tolerate 10 mg per day, they were allowed to titrate down to 7 mg per day and remained on 7 mg per day for the remainder of the treatment period. |
